Desired background
* Experience supporting a CEO or senior leader with diary, mailbox and travel management
* Strong proficiency in MS Office, including PowerPoint
* Excellent communication skills and meticulous record‑keeping
* A willingness to take on broader responsibilities when needed
About you

* Able to work independently and use initiative
* Comfortable in a small, close‑knit team
* Driven by continuous improvement and doing things well
