  • Administrative Support: Managing expense claims, invoicing, purchase orders, and other administrative processes.

Backup and Broad Support:

  • Mutual Replacement: In the event of the absence or illness of the Sr. Executive Assistant/Head of Management Support & Office Services, you proactively take over the essential tasks and responsibilities of that colleague to ensure the continuity of support.
  • Collaboration on Office Projects: Actively participating in and contributing to various office-related projects, such as the implementation of new systems, optimization of work processes, organization of company events, or the layout of office spaces. You will apply your organizational and administrative expertise here.
  • Proactive Identification: Anticipating needs and proactively proposing solutions, both for the CPO/COO/CFO and for broader office processes.
