As an Executive Assistant at Sharkmob, you will act as a key operational partner to our senior leadership team. This role goes beyond traditional administrative support, you will help drive alignment, improve communication flow, and enable leaders to operate at their highest level.
This role involves regular interaction with international partners, including stakeholders where Mandarin is a key working language. Professional proficiency in Mandarin is therefore important to support communication, coordination and relationship-building.
As an Executive Assistant, you will support the senior management team of Sharkmob and report to the Product Development Director. You will work closely with the project organization, studio management and operations, as well as partners, to facilitate communication, organize meetings, create documentation, and promote alignment across executive teams. You will play a critical role in ensuring priorities are clear, communication is effective, and important initiatives move forward.
The successful candidate for this role will need to be highly organized and bring energy, attention to detail, and creative problem-solving to their work. We are looking for someone who is comfortable navigating reprioritization, scenarios where not all information is complete, and protecting the bandwith of the executives you support. Since you will be exposed to sensitive and confidential information including company direction, IP and partnerships, you will need to exercise a high level of discretion.
What we can offer is a fast-paced and exciting place of work in the main square of Malmö. Sharkmob's crew is made up of top tier game developers from around the world, and we are all focused on the development and launch of our first original title, Exoborne.
