Administrative Assistant - to the Director

We are looking for an experienced, organised assistant with excellent knowledge of Commission procedures. Sense of initiative and a helpful can-do attitude are important as well as the ability to anticipate the needs of the Director. The successful candidate should be able to prioritise among multiple simultaneous tasks and to collaborate closely with other colleagues in the Directorate. The job requires a high level of commitment as well as the ability to manage files in a sensitive environment. Furthermore, the work of the Resources Director demands rapid reaction and precision in performing tasks related in financial and HR-related matters, therefore the colleague should be an excellent team player with high sense of responsibility and should assure quality and accuracy in performing a diversity of tasks. In addition to the standard computer tools (Word, Outlook, Excel, Teams), solid knowledge of Commission applications such as MIPS, ARES, Sysper, Basis and Decide is required. Fluency in English and/or French, both written and oral, is required; good knowledge of other languages is a definite advantage. Previous experience in senior management assistance is a desirable asset.
