Why this role?

This is not a traditional assistant role. It’s a key role supporting the CEO and coordinating core business activities. 

You will gain exposure to strategic decision-making, governance, communications, and HR operations—making this an excellent opportunity for someone looking to grow into a broader business or leadership support role within a multinational environment. You will work closely with the CEO with clear prioritisation and support across functions.

Governance

  • Support local governance activities including Board and Shareholder meetings
  • Coordinate documentation (e.g., minutes, powers of attorney, notary-related matters)
  • Ensure accuracy, timeliness, and compliance in all governance processes

 

Communication

  • Contribute to internal communications initiatives in collaboration with HR
  • Support external communications alongside Corporate Communications and local agencies
  • Manage content for intranet and social media channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, etc.)
  • Assist in the organisation of internal and external events, conferences, and stakeholder engagements

 

HR & Employee Experience Support

  • Support onboarding of new hires to ensure a smooth and engaging experience
  • Coordinate delivery of training activities, surveys, and participation records
  • Assist with administrative HR processes (e.g., documents, data collection, employee documentation, surveys…)

Experience & Background

  • Bachelor’s degree (or equivalent); Legal background is a plus
  • 1–3 years’ experience in a similar role within a multinational company or professional services environment (e.g., law firm)

Skills & Capabilities

  • Fluent English (mandatory); German is a plus
  • Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities

What makes you stand out

  • You are curious, adaptable, and eager to learn
  • You thrive in complex environments and enjoy variety in your work
  • You build strong relationships and foster collaboration
  • You see beyond tasks and understand the bigger business picture
