Assistant to the R&D Leadership team (m/f/x) - Fixed Term Contract (12 months)

Dynatrace

Your role at Dynatrace

As part of the R&D Assistant team, you're the person who keeps things moving. You work closely with executive leaders across R&D - helping them stay organized, well-prepared, and focused on what matters most. You connect the dots across teams, manage complexity behind the scenes, and bring structure to a fast-paced environment. And because you're often one step ahead, the leaders you support can show up at their best. Discretion, ownership, and good judgment are at the heart of everything you do. This role will be a 12-month Fixed Term Contract.

Calendar management

• You manage complex calendars for R&D leaders — balancing competing priorities, flagging conflicts early, and making smart calls, so their time is spent in the right places.
• You build a solid understanding of each leader's focus areas and overlapping projects, so scheduling decisions are always informed by the bigger picture.

Travels & Expense management

• You pro-actively plan and organize business trips of the leadership team that you support, including offsite events, conferences and key customer meetings.
• You handle expense tracking and reimbursements via Concur and support leaders in managing budgets through our internal tools.

Meetings & Project support

• You help structure meetings that actually move things forward — drafting agendas, defining objectives, and making sure the right people are prepared.
• You collect, prioritize, and package information and presentations ahead of key meetings, so leaders walk in ready.
• You will attend meetings to assist the leadership team by capturing key discussion points, outcomes and next steps to facilitate follow-up.
• You're a thinking partner, not just a task executor. You spot where processes can be smoother, speak up, and take initiative on small projects when you see the need.

What will help you succeed

• 4+ years of experience in a similar assistant or coordination role.
• You are tech-savvy and a fast learner when it comes to understanding and using different applications and tools.
• You have a background in project management, whether through education or hands-on experience.
• You're highly organized, work independently, and know how to manage your own priorities without being told what to do next.
• You are an outgoing and proactive person with a high sense of customer service orientation who enjoys taking on challenging tasks.
• You are comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
• You bring strong interpersonal skills, attention to detail, and a high degree of discretion.
• You have high proficiency in English (written and spoken) on a C2 level and basic German skills
