Job Description
We are looking for an executive assistant to the CEO and office manager for Fikr Labs.
At this point Fikr is still small enough that we have small offices in Maadi just for the development teams. So you will start primarily working supporting the CEO in all the operations and communications to free his time to focus with the clients and the software teams.
We expect to be moving to our own space soon and you will be a big part of coordinating these efforts and make things happen.
- You will be assisting the CEO - who is organizationally challenged - and managing an office of software developers who are tech geeks. Patience and the ability to understand and work effectively with others is mandatory.
- You will also be responsible for operations and management of our new office.
- You will also have to know how to "get things done" in Cairo. As we know, Cairo is a wonderful hodge-podge of people, places, and an invisible set of expectations and rules - you should be a master at navigating these waters and be able to do so with a smile on your face.
- Finally, we have an informal rule at Fikr, "those who do the work decide how to do it". Therefore you must be good at achieving goals without detailed "how-to" instructions.
Job Requirements
Fikr is a software development startup with clients primarily in the US.
If this sounds like something that might challenge and engage you - then consider working with us at Fikr Labs.
- Excellent verbal and written English and Arabic is a must.
- Coordination of events - both big and small. From setting up interviews and making sure a room is reserved, to open visits from software experts to see how we work, to out-of-town clients.
- Operations and coordination to make sure the office is running smoothly and those who are there can focus on their assigned tasks.
- Whatever needs to get done. The mark of an excellent office manager and executive assistant is nobody knows that she is there until she is away - and then we all can't wait until they get back because everything has gone haywire.
