This is a rare opportunity to work at the heart of a global institution — supporting high-impact decisions, coordinating across diverse portfolios, and representing the leadership office with professionalism and integrity.

- Attend senior meetings; prepare precise Minutes of Meeting and follow up rigorously on action items with institutional stakeholders.
- Draft executive-level communications, briefing notes, presentations, and summaries.
- Liaise with global dignitaries, institutional partners, visiting VIPs, and senior leaders — maintaining appropriate protocol and discretion at all times.
- Safeguard and maintain confidential documentation including records, contracts, correspondence, and institutional data across multiple portfolios.
- Manage secure digital communication platforms, virtual conferencing for global meetings, and confidential filing systems with strict access discipline.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business Administration, Communications, Humanities, or a related field.
- Experience: 2–5 years of experience as an Executive Assistant, or Senior Administrative Professional in a corporate or institutional setting.
- Languages: Complete fluency in written and spoken English; proficiency in two or more additional languages is a strong advantage.
- Technical Skills: Strong command of Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, task management platforms, and enterprise communication tools.
- Temperament: Absolute discretion, high emotional intelligence, and the ability to maintain composure under sustained pressure.
- Cultural Fit: Familiarity with Heartfulness values and the culture of Kanha Shanti Vanam is a significant advantage.
- Availability: Ability to be available beyond standard hours when required; immediate family committed to long-term residency in or near Kanha Shanti Vanam.
