Then you may be the person we’re looking for to support BESTSELLER’s CFO, while the current Personal Assistant is on maternity leave.

YOUR TEAM

You will join BESTSELLER’s global Finance organisation and work closely with our CFO, Finance leadership and key stakeholders across our headquarters, country Finance teams and Finance hubs. Our Finance organisation connects colleagues and business areas across countries and time zones. You will become part of an international environment where collaboration, high standards and a strong understanding of the business go hand in hand.

YOUR ROLE

As Personal Assistant to the CFO, you will play an important role in making a busy and varied agenda work. You will create structure around priorities, stay ahead of deadlines and make sure meetings, activities and follow-ups are handled professionally and efficiently.

• Supporting coordination and communication between the CFO, Finance leadership and key stakeholders
• Internal communication, including newsletters, updates on our Finance department site and communication for Town Halls

YOUR PROFILE

You are structured, proactive and highly professional in the way you work.

You naturally take ownership, work independently and approach colleagues and stakeholders with professionalism and discretion.

We imagine that you:
