EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT 

At Jimdo, our mission is to help small businesses start, grow, and ultimately thrive online. Small businesses face new challenges with very little support or recognition. We know how hard this can be, because we have been in their position. That's where you can help us—by designing intuitive tools to help small businesses solve complex problems. 

With a forward-leaning and self-driven attitude, we continue to find new ways to help our customers get their ideas out into the world. As a team, we run at a steady pace to achieve what we aim for. We learn best by gathering data, trying new things, and sometimes even falling down along the way. It's the lessons we learn in the process that make us better problem-solvers for small business owners. 

If you're motivated by our mission and excited to roll up your sleeves, try new things, learn from mistakes, and make a difference to small businesses around the world, we would love to work with you.

Your Mission

You will support COO, Simon Marcus and his teams in strategic tasks as well as in day-to-day operations. You will take responsibility for cross-departmental projects and coordinate communication with your stakeholders. In addition, you will provide him and his teams with a basis for decision-making in the form of presentations, statistics and reports. You will independently execute projects related to Data, Product & Engineering, People, Operations and Strategy, contributing with coordination, planning and distribution of the tasks. We are looking for someone, who is going to work during East Coast Hours. 

Responsibilities 

• You will support our management both in strategic issues and in the implementation of operational tasks, under the guidance of Simon and his senior leaders.
• From data to operations to people - you will supervise and coordinate cross-divisional projects and you will be the first point of contact for your colleagues.
• You will organize meetings and workshops, ensure that they run smoothly and prepare the results.
• You will manage Simon's calendar and occasional synchronization with the Executive Assistant of the CEO.
• You will research, analyse data and convert the results into meaningful reports that serve as a basis for decision-making.
• You will prepare working documents such as presentations, statistics and reports for decision-making.

Skills

• Your solid commercial knowledge and good understanding of business management interrelationships will help you to understand and work through complex issues.

• It is a welcome challenge for you to work in a dynamic and rapidly changing environment.
• As a talented organizer, it is easy for you to approach different projects independently, structured and with a cool head. At the same time, you can always optimally prioritize tasks that go beyond the scope of a single topic.
• You enjoy working with numbers, discovering the connections in large amounts of data and presenting them in an understandable way.
• You are convincing through your communicative manner and know how to deal with your stakeholders in order to work constructively with them and get results quickly. Discretion is a matter of course for you.
