📋 Description
• Remote-first, mission-driven, registered non-profit Open Energy Transition with around 50 professionals from around the world. Fully remote in European and African time zones. • Support 3 directors of senior leadership team with daily operations, time management, and information flow. • Manage calendars, meetings, communications, travel planning, documentation, and stakeholder liaison across the organization. • Collaborate with Heads of People, Modeling Tools & Data, Research & Market Development, and Energy System Modeling. • Work autonomously with high discretion and confidentiality; English required; additional languages advantageous. • Learn more about OET via our website and handbook.
🎯 Requirements
• 5+ years of experience as an 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. Further bonus points if you’ve worked at a startup, in the energy sector, have supported business development professionals, and/or in a similarly-sized team (around 50 people). • Fluency in English, and, ideally, another language, with excellent professional writing and speaking skills. • 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). • Are tech-savvy (and familiar with tools such as LLMs, Google Workspace, Discord, HubSpot CRM, Asana, Microsoft 365, Adobe, DocuSign, and other office and project/task management tools). • Have excellent interpersonal skills—warm, professional, confident, and diplomatic.
🏖️ Benefits
• A flexible, fully-remote work environment where you’re trusted to work very autonomously. Zero micro-management, as that goes against our culture. • The opportunity to support hardworking, passionate, busy leaders who value and respect your contributions, and are working to create positive societal change in the energy sector. • A culture that values transparency, empathy, trust, humility, diversity, collaboration, and recognition. • We have an open-door policy, and value reciprocal feedback. You’ll always know where you stand, and always have the ability to have your voice heard, simply by reaching out. • A pretty flat hierarchical structure, where titles are not emphasized, and all contributions are valued. • Competitive salary with growth potential. Any relevant benefits depend on your region of residence. • Supportive onboarding and training, tailored to your strengths, interests, and career ambitions. • The ability to be part of our formation! We’re still growing, changing, and improving. Anyone who is part of our team now is able to meaningfully contribute towards our culture, and processes. We’re open to all suggestions, and take them seriously!
