Your Mission

As Executive Assistant, you will play a key role in ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of daily activities. Acting as a trusted partner to the Chief Operating Officer (CoO), you’ll take ownership of a wide range of administrative and organizational tasks. You’ll be a central point of coordination—supporting the CoO directly while also enabling alignment and effectiveness across teams.

This is a dynamic, hands-on role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and brings both structure and initiative to the table.

  Independently lead onboarding processes for new project team members. Liaise with relevant stakeholders to ensure a structured, efficient, and welcoming onboarding experience.
• Travel & Expenses
  Coordinate business travel logistics from booking to itinerary management. Handle expense reports and reimbursements for travel and business-related meals or events in a timely and accurate manner.
• Stakeholder Communication
  Serve as a key contact point for internal and external stakeholders. Ensure all communications are professional, timely, and aligned with the CoO’s priorities.
• Documentation & Presentations
  Prepare high-quality presentations, reports, and briefing materials for internal and external leadership meetings, ensuring clarity and impact.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration
  Work closely with assistant teams and other departments to support alignment, share best practices, and contribute to smooth day-to-day operations.
