Job Description: Executive Assistant to the MD (EATOMD)
Role Objective
We are seeking a high-energy, proactive, and exceptionally organized Executive Assistant (EA). Unlike a conventional secretary, this role requires someone with the "get-it-done" spirit— resourceful, sharp, and capable of managing complex follow-ups and personal tasks with absolute integrity.
Key Responsibilities
- Dynamic Follow-ups: Act as the "right hand" to the MD, ensuring every task assigned to the team is tracked, followed up on, and completed.
- Data & Documentation: Manage reports, link sheets, and handle complex data using MS Excel (VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables) and Word.
- Operational Coordination: Bridge the gap between the MD and other department heads to ensure deliverables are met.
- Communication: Draft official letters, emails, and handle professional correspondence in excellent English.
- Personal Assistance: Manage the MD’s personal tasks and schedule with high levels of honesty and discretion.

- Conflict Management: How do you handle senior employees who might have "ego issues" or resist following up on tasks?
- Proactiveness: Examples of when you took responsibility without being asked.
3. Practical Technical Test
