• Your work style is independent and structured, as are your strong organization skills and service mentality.
• You would describe yourself as talented in coordination and improvisation, and you have an integrative personality with good conflict resolution skills.

• You have gained some practical experience as a secretary or assistant or in a similar position.
• You work proficiently in MS Office programs, especially Outlook

Additional info

We aim to provide a dynamic and collaborative environment that fosters connection and teamwork.
