• Has extensive experience supporting C-Level executives and knows how to navigate executive priorities with confidence and discretion.
• Brings strong event management and project coordination skills — from leadership offsites to industry events.
• Is a self-starter who understands what needs to be done, who to involve, and how to drive things forward.
• Balances professionalism with energy — someone who enjoys being a trusted partner, a sounding board, and a catalyst for action.
• Can oversee office operations with a steady hand while maintaining a welcoming, well-run environment.

This is a rare opportunity to join a leadership team at a pivotal moment of renewal. If you’re ready to put your experience, judgment, and energy to work in helping shape OXEA’s future, we’d love to hear from you.
