Location: Warsaw, Poland

This is a role for someone who genuinely enjoys being an Executive Assistant.

Business & Administrative Coordination

• Coordinate selected administrative processes related to the Country Leader and leadership team.
• Support interactions with external vendors, agencies and business partners.
• Coordinate documentation and selected corporate processes.
• Support ad-hoc business requests and projects where executive-level coordination is required.

• Experience working in an international corporate environment.
• Proven experience supporting senior leaders and managing complex priorities.
• Excellent organizational and time-management skills.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• High level of discretion, confidentiality and professional maturity.
• Excellent command of Polish and English, both written and spoken.
• Strong Microsoft 365 skills, particularly Outlook, PowerPoint, Word and Excel.
• Willingness to work at least 3 days per week from the Warsaw office.

Preferred

• Experience supporting a Country Leader, General Manager, Managing Director or Leadership Team.
• Experience working across multiple functions and with senior stakeholders.
• Experience coordinating leadership meetings, corporate events or internal communications.
• Experience in a multinational organization.
