Minimum Requirements- 5+ years of relevant Executive Assistant or senior administrative experience, ideally within a global technology or software organisation.
- Proven experience supporting senior executives in a fast-paced, dynamic and innovative business environment.
- Exceptional organisational and time-management skills, with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple competing priorities.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills, with the confidence to engage effectively with senior leaders, customers and external stakeholders.

- Experience coordinating projects of intermediate complexity and managing multiple deliverables and deadlines.
- Experience organising and managing virtual meetings and collaboration platforms, including Zoom, Webex, Google Meet or similar tools.
- Strong teamwork and collaboration skills, with the confidence to suggest improvements and contribute to more effective ways of working.
- Working proficiency in Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Drive and Google Meet).

- Proven ability to work under pressure, exercise sound judgement and consistently deliver against deadlines.
- High levels of integrity and discretion, with the ability to handle confidential and private information appropriately.
- A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset, with the ability to anticipate needs rather than simply react to requests.
