• Working with multiple stakeholders and prioritizing workload accordingly.
• Professional communication (verbal and written) at all levels, internally and with external clients.

Key Responsibilities

• Representing BCG with client counterparts for admin topics (e.g., collecting documents, supporting administrative processes)
• Preparing and managing end-to-end security clearances processes

What You'll Bring

• A Bachelor's degree, or equivalent commercial/office-management training, with 1-2 years of experience in public relations, secretarial, administrative, or assistant duties.
• Excellent written and spoken English and Arabic.
