Job Description

We are looking for a highly proactive, resourceful and organized Executive Assistant to provide strategic and operational support at C-level.

Your Accountabilities

Executive Support:

• Provide full support to executive marketing director. You’re acting as a right-hand on people- and business topics and a key facilitator for the day-to-day organization and communication. You proactively prepare the executive for meetings, presentations, and critical discussions, ensuring she is well-informed and briefed. You’re also the point of contact for internal & external stakeholders, managing access and priorities.
