What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience as an Office Manager or Executive Assistant to a senior executive (any industry).
- Strong experience handling communications on behalf of senior leadership with external partners and senior internal teams.
- Someone who is focused, well organized, and able to manage up – bringing ideas, taking initiative, and helping the CEO stay on track.
- Arabic speaker with long‑term KSA experience.
- Comfortable working in a startup / manufacturing environment with a fast‑paced, entrepreneurial culture.
- Tech‑savvy and comfortable using AI tools daily to support work (e.g., drafting, summarizing, organizing schedules, etc.).
