Translate and interpret business documents and communications as required

Help manage competing priorities and ensure important items are followed through to completion

Work closely with other members of the executive support team

Take on a variety of projects and responsibilities as required - no two days will necessarily look the same

What We’re Looking For:

7+ years of progressive Executive Assistant or senior executive support experience

Experience supporting a senior executive, founder, owner, president or similarly senior leader

Fluency in either Mandarin or Cantonese is required

Strong ability to read, write and communicate professionally in the required language
