The best candidates show that they are forward planners, reliable and determined, and keen to assume responsibility for projects, processes and policy. We are a unique global business, so we are not looking for candidates with extensive experience so much as excellent organisers and communicators who are keen to develop skills and strive for continuous improvement.

This team plays a crucial role in the overall operation of the business. They run significant business operations and processes, supporting the respective department leads but also taking central responsibility for logistics, expenses, travel and scheduling. They are the secret to our success! We look for confident and effective people who have good judgment and the self-assurance to hold firm on a point of policy regardless of the seniority of people on the other side of a discussion. If you like to take responsibility and you like to ensure that things are done properly and efficiently then you will enjoy the role tremendously.

Location: This is a global operation, we have open roles in teams in all time zones.

  • Coordinate monthly reports and schedule meetings and interviews
  • Organise and run international company events including logistics
  • Manage quarterly and annual executive meetings

What we are looking for in you

  • Excellent academic results at school and university
  • A degree in a business or technical subject
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Responsibility, integrity and accountability
  • Self-awareness and thoughtfulness
  • Ability to travel up to four times a year for company events of up to two weeks duration
  • Ability to learn new technology and software quickly

Additional skills we value

  • Experience in operations and executive support
  • Project management experience
  • Event related experience
  • Travel industry experience

What we offer you

We consider geographical location, experience, and performance in shaping compensation worldwide. We revisit compensation annually (and more often for graduates and associates) to ensure we recognise outstanding performance. In addition to base pay, we offer a performance-driven annual bonus. We provide all team members with additional benefits, which reflect our values and ideals. We balance our programs to meet local needs and ensure fairness globally.

  • Distributed work environment with twice-yearly team sprints in person
  • Personal learning and development budget of USD 2,000 per year
  • Annual compensation review
  • Recognition rewards
  • Annual holiday leave
  • Maternity and paternity leave
  • Employee Assistance Programme
