Our client is an award-winning business with operations and customers all around the world. They have a very fast-paced and exciting work environment and corporate values that promote teamwork, trust, and sincerity. The company has over 1000 employees.

What- the Role:
This is a well-rounded Executive Assistant role spanning a variety of areas such as complex multi-time-zone calendar management, in-person and virtual meetings (scheduling, preparing materials, attending meetings to take minutes, following-up on action items), International travel coordination, email organizing, budgeting, event planning, expense reporting, document creation, internal & external communications, etc.
We are looking for a seasoned, polished, and confident EA who will be viewed informally as a mentor to other administrative staff within the company.

Who- the Candidate:
On behalf of our client, we are seeking a highly organized, polished, adaptable, dynamic, and professional EA who is values-based and who is a team player with great written and verbal communication skills. Qualified candidates will have at least 8 years’ relevant experience directly supporting busy executives in very fast-paced and dynamic business environments.
Business acumen is essential in this senior EA role, and the new EA will be someone who takes the time to get to know the ins & outs of the company’s complex, interesting, and high-growth business operations.  Candidates must be tech savvy, and able/willing to continuously optimize the use of tools and technologies at the company.

Where:
Vancouver. Hybrid schedule.

This flexibility is reciprocated by the employer, and the EA can manage their own fluid hybrid schedule (only 1 day/week in office is typical, but some weeks it could be 2-3, depending on meetings and events). The company’s Vancouver corporate office is accessible by car, bike, and rapid transit.
