Do you want to work on complex and pressing challenges—the kind that bring together curious, ambitious, and determined leaders who strive to become better every day? If this sounds like you, you’ve come to the right place.

Who You'll Work With

You'll work in San Jose, Costa Rica as part of our administrative team.

Your impact within our firm

You will be the first point of contact and a primary resource for visitors to our office.  
Each month we typically have 10-15 colleagues from around the world visit our San Jose office. In this role you will be in charge of coordinating transportation (airport-hotel, office-hotel, and in some cases for dinners/tours) for these visitors. Many times they will have team meetings at the office or at an external venue and you will be the helping hand on booking a room for them, ordering lunches, and providing any office supplies they may need to have a successful meeting. You will look after our office security by making sure that every visitor holds a visitor badge and by monitoring the logbook. Sometimes we have vendors who need to have access to the secured areas - in such cases you will lead them to those areas and stay with them until they are done to make sure they are not exposed to confidential information. 
You will be in charge in greeting everyone as they come to the office, as well as answering inquiries over the phone. You'll make sure we have enough stock of office supplies, and you'll place orders for new supplies on a monthly basis. Last, but not least, you will keep an eye that our cleaning vendor complies with our contract and expectations, and make sure that our office is always neat and clean.

Your qualifications and skills

  • 1+ years of administrative experience supporting a high-level manager is a plus
  • Excellent organization and time management skills 
  • Diplomatic and highly communicative person (in person, e-mail and phone) 
  • Ability to demonstrate an energetic and dynamic ambiance, being able to work in a fast-paced environment 
  • Knowledge of Microsoft Office and open to learning new organizational programs and applications 
  • Experience in managing events is a plus
