Humans of HR is working with a well-established organization to find a Senior Executive Assistant to support a high-level executive and play a key role within the executive office.

- Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders across multiple time zones
- Translate and interpret business documents and communications as required
- Help manage competing priorities and ensure important items are followed through to completion
- Work closely with other members of the executive support team
- Take on a variety of projects and responsibilities as required - no two days will necessarily look the same
What We're Looking For:
- 7+ years of progressive Executive Assistant or senior executive support experience
- Experience supporting a senior executive, founder, owner, president or similarly senior leader
- Fluency in either Mandarin or Cantonese is required
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English
- Exceptional organizational skills and attention to detail
- Strong judgment and discretion when handling confidential information
- Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
- A highly proactive, adaptable and solutions-oriented approach
- Strong technology skills and confidence working with business systems and digital tools
- Willingness to step outside of a traditional EA scope and take ownership of projects and priorities
