We are seeking a highly strategic and tech-savvy Executive Assistant to join a rapidly expanding, tech-focused organization in Markham, Ontario. If you want to elevate your career in business administration, this is your opportunity to act as the fiercely protective right-hand partner to a dynamic General Manager overseeing multiple global business units. In the fast-evolving world of business administration, this Executive Assistant role goes far beyond traditional support.

In today's global business administration landscape, clear communication is paramount. For this specific Executive Assistant role, native-level fluency in English is required to effectively manage communications and draft executive briefings for global tech stakeholders, while bilingualism in French or other international languages is considered a strong asset when navigating cross-border team dynamics.

Travel up to 10% of the time to assist with logistics and coordination at major global group events
Leverage modern technology, AI, and automation tools to eliminate manual administrative work and streamline business operations
Organize, prepare, and manage the logistics for high-level meetings, including venue selection, equipment setup, and gathering necessary documentation
Draft, edit, and manage high-level communications on behalf of the GM, interfacing with senior leaders, global stakeholders, and external partners
