Executive Assistant to the President and CEO of Sandvik Group

Sandvik is a high-tech and global engineering group with approximately 40 000 employees and operations in more than 160 countries. We have a strong legacy formed by our roots in industrial steel innovations, and with expertise and imagination, we develop pioneering solutions to bring manufacturing into the next era!


Right now, we’re looking for a committed, resourceful and agile Executive Assistant to our President and CEO – someone who truly finds a passion in organizing, coordinating and multitasking right in the center of a global, exciting and industry leading business.


About the job
As Executive Assistant, you’re the important right-hand for our President and CEO. You offer a supportive and structured partnership and make the everyday business life of your executive as smooth and easy as possible by acting as gate-keeper and maintaining an optimized office setup. You take lead in your assignments and keep constant track on the smallest details; always with the bigger picture in mind. This means leaving no room for errors as you make sure that everything is in place and that your executive knows where to go, who to meet, what to do and what needs to be prepared. Naturally, you manage various administrative tasks – such as travel arrangements, calendars, documentation, events, and expenses – and you connect with both internal and external stakeholders, customers and partners worldwide.


You work in close cooperation with the Executive Assistant of our CFO in order to jointly deliver a seamless service, and together you take initiatives to improve the efficiency and quality of the work performed within the CEO office. In addition, you lead our community of competent and engaged assistants that support our executives within Sandvik Group, and you fully engage in creating a strong culture of inclusion and collaboration.


The location for this job is at our headquarters at World Trade Center in Stockholm.


About you
With structured ways of working and doer’s mentality, you’re always two steps ahead! You enjoy a bit of pressure and can switch gears at a moment’s notice when the situation calls for it. You know how to single-handed prioritize and creatively solve problems on the go to get the job done. Giving flexible service is in the core of your character and you’re thorough, unassuming and available as you facilitate the work life of your executive.


You’re an experienced executive assistant, with a previous career that includes similar positions for top management. We believe that you have a degree in a relevant field of studies, although we consider your strong administrative and organizational skills, high integrity and a broad interest in business as equally important. You’re used to a global environment - including cultural aspects and different time zones - and as we become more and more digital, you need to be tech-savvy and comfortably embrace digital office solutions and new technology. You communicate fluently in English and Swedish, and skills in additional languages are beneficial.


Our culture 
At Sandvik, we offer a global arena of brilliant minds, and we’re technology driven, innovative, entrepreneurial and inclusive! Success is a team effort, and we believe that diversity inspires, so we invest in supporting each other, learning together and celebrating our differences.
