We are looking for an experienced and intelligent person to assist with the management of several businesses and projects.

This role goes beyond the normal responsibilities of a Personal Assistant or secretary. There will be administrative work, but a large part of the job will involve dealing with business matters, researching issues, speaking with different organisations and helping resolve problems.

You may be given a task or problem without detailed instructions and expected to work out how to handle it. This could involve researching the issue, finding the correct person or organisation to contact, making enquiries, following up and reporting back.

A good understanding of Bangladesh is important. You should be familiar with the business environment, different industries, government departments, regulations and administrative processes.

Responsibilities

- Assist with several businesses and projects at the same time

- Manage meetings, correspondence, documents, appointments and deadlines

- Communicate with companies, executives, consultants, lawyers, government offices and other organisations

- Research companies, industries, regulations and government procedures

- Make enquiries and deal with government departments and other organisations when required

- Find the correct people or departments to contact regarding particular issues

- Follow up on applications, enquiries and outstanding matters

- Coordinate between businesses, employees and outside organisations

- Prepare reports and summaries when required

- Organise meetings, appointments and travel

- Keep track of important matters and make sure they are followed up

- Handle confidential business information and documents

- Help resolve problems as they arise

- Take on responsibilities outside normal PA work when required

- Travel to Dhaka for meetings or business matters when necessary

Requirements

We are looking for someone who can think independently and deal with a wide range of work.

You should have:

- Very good knowledge of Bangladesh

- A good understanding of business in Bangladesh

- Knowledge of Bangladeshi government departments, systems and administrative processes

- Knowledge or experience across several industries

- Good research and problem-solving skills

- Strong written and spoken Bangla and English

- Good organisation and attention to detail

- Confidence speaking with businesses, professionals and government organisations

- Good computer and internet research skills

- The ability to manage several matters at once

- Good judgement

- The ability to work without constant supervision

- The ability to learn about unfamiliar subjects quickly

- Discretion when dealing with private or commercially sensitive information

Experience working with business owners, executives, government organisations, regulatory bodies, legal or compliance matters, or multiple businesses would be useful.

We do not expect one person to already know everything. What matters is having broad knowledge, being able to understand new subjects quickly and knowing how to find the information or people needed to get something done.

The Role

You will sometimes be given an objective rather than step-by-step instructions. You will be expected to understand what needs to be done, research it where necessary, speak to the relevant people and follow the matter through.

The work can vary significantly depending on what the businesses need at the time. You should be comfortable taking on work that may not fall under a typical secretary or Personal Assistant job description.

We are looking for someone who can gradually take responsibility for more matters and become closely involved in the day-to-day running of several businesses.

Salary

The salary is ৳100,000 to ৳200,000 per month, depending on experience and ability.

The exact amount will depend on your background, knowledge, experience and the level of responsibility you are able to handle.

There is room for increased responsibility and progression for someone who performs well in the role.

Location and Travel

You may be based anywhere, provided you are reliable and available when required.

Knowledge of Bangladesh is essential. You must also be willing to travel to Dhaka when necessary.
