This is a remote-first position that requires a high degree of discretion, initiative, self-management, professionalism, and confidentiality.

Your Key Responsibilities

• Calendar & Time Management: Proactively manage complex calendars across multiple time zones, prioritize and process scheduling requests, and protect leadership focus time.
• Meeting Coordination: Prepare agendas, manage logistics, take comprehensive notes (minutes), and follow up on action items. Sometimes you'll attend meetings on behalf of someone else.
• Communication Management: Draft, translate, and respond to professional correspondence from internal and external stakeholders (emails, documents, memos), liaising with other staff to get input where required. This includes keeping our CRM up-to-date, as well as responding timeously to queries and flagging any potential issues to relevant parties.
• Travel Planning: Organize international and domestic travel, accommodations, and itineraries, for things such as conferences, client pitches, and in-person meetings.
• Documentation & Filing: Keep administrative platforms and records up to date, including presentations, contracts, and other and sensitive documents.
• Event Assistance: Helping to organize events that OET may host or take part in.
• General Admin: Help fill in and format applications, project briefs, tenders, internal and external presentations, research documents, grant applications, and historical (archival) documents for internal use.
• Stakeholder Liaison: Act as a communication hub between leadership and internal teams, including our various Heads of Department, Team Leads, and Lead Maintainers.
• Project Assistance: Provide project support (e.g., setting up workflows on tools like Asana, following up on tasks, etc.) This requires oversight of all tasks that are being worked on by the leadership team members in question, so that you have good context with which to make decisions.
• Other Assistance: various other ad hoc administrative tasks, including those relating to our Business Development activities, e.g., finding the right person at a potential client a business developer should talk to.

You'll Be a Great Fit If You Are/Have.

• 3+ years experience
  as an Ops, Executive or Administrative Assistant or supporting senior managers in fast-paced, highly-autonomous, fully-remote environments.
• Bonus points if you've supported multiple such individuals simultaneously, and worked across numerous departments at once.

• Are fluent in English and German
• Have some experience with financial management, accounting, and/or payroll systems and reports
• Bonus points if you have experience with drafting and submitting tender and grant applications, and working with compliance and risk-related matters
• Thrive in a highly self-managed, remote, transparent work culture, where you don't wait around to be told what to do by your manager but show initiative and ownership, and where you give and receive honest feedback to help all, regardless of their role, grow and develop.
• Are detail-oriented, proactive, and exceptionally organized.
• Handle sensitive information with integrity and confidentiality.
• Have a strong sense of ownership and the ability to juggle multiple leaders' needs effectively, including prioritizing on the fly, as operational requirements change over time (even daily).

• Have excellent interpersonal skills—warm, professional, confident, and diplomatic.

A university degree is not required—your experience, communication skills, and work ethic matter most. However, if you happen to have a degree in business or a similar field, that may be considered a bonus.
What We Offer

• A flexible, fully-remote work environment where you're trusted to work very autonomously. Zero micro-management, as that goes against our culture.
