Considering a Shift to Executive Assistant for Senior VP: Is It the Right Move for My HR Career?

Dear Seniors, I want to know if a job profile as an Executive Assistant to the Senior Vice President is a good fit for me. Based on the discussions I have had, I understand that the role would involve overseeing various areas under the Senior VP, conducting follow-ups, research, and assisting in decision-making and policy formulation.

My Background

I hold an MBA in HR and have over 2.5 years of experience as an HR Generalist, specializing in recruitment, training, employee engagement, performance management, and more. The areas under the VP's supervision include HR, Industrial Relations (IR), Workforce Capacity Management (WCM), and Safety.

Although my official title would remain the same as Assistant Manager, my actual responsibilities would align more with an Executive Assistant role.

I seek your guidance on whether I should take the leap and embrace this new profile.

Dear Seniors, I want to know if a job profile of an Executive Assistant to the VP of Sales and Marketing is a good opportunity and what the potential for future growth is. From the discussions I have had, I have been informed that the job would involve overseeing all areas under the VP, conducting follow-ups, research, assisting the VP in decision-making, policy-making, business operations, etc. Currently, I am working as a Senior Product Executive with 8 years of experience and an MBA in Marketing. If I take on this new role, my designation and responsibilities would change to Executive Assistant to the VP of Sales and Marketing. Please guide me on whether I should take the risk of pursuing this profile.
