Executive Assistant to the President of Rock Tools

Within Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions and division Rock Tools, we deliver advanced products and solutions for the mining and construction industries, serving customers across all continents. Right now, we’re looking for a business minded, confident and resourceful Executive Assistant to our President – someone who truly finds a passion in organizing, coordinating and multitasking right in the center of a global, dynamic and customer-centric environment.
About the job
In this flexible role, you’re an important support to our President and Management Team – being the go-to coordinator and sounding board. With your interest in business, you contribute to finding improvements that lead to smart, modern and digital ways of working. By acting as a gatekeeper and maintaining an optimized office setup, you make the everyday business life as smooth and focused as possible. You take lead in your assignments, with an eye on the details and always with the bigger picture in mind – as you make sure that everything is prepared, planned, and in place. Naturally, you manage various administrative tasks, such as travel arrangements, calendars, documentation, events and expenses. You’re also the office manager for our Rock Tools central staff office in Sandviken.
Inclusive collaboration and trusting networks are key in this position, and you keep your eyes and ears to the ground as you assist our management in sensing the organization. On top of this, you work closely with members of our assistant community to share knowledge and best practices, and you open-mindedly connect with internal and external stakeholders, customers and partners worldwide.

Location and travel
The base for this job is at the Rock Tools headquarters in Sandviken and there’s a possibility for international travel – depending on your situation and interest.
About you
With structured and straightforward ways of working – and not to forget a doer’s mentality – you’re always two steps ahead, spotting what needs to be done and then taking lead! You stay calm under pressure and can switch gears at a moment’s notice when the situation calls for it. You also know how to single-handedly prioritize and creatively solve problems on the go. Naturally, we believe that giving flexible service is in the core of your character and you’re thorough, unassuming and resourceful as you facilitate the work life of your executive.  
You’re an experienced executive assistant, with a service business background, and a previous career that includes roles like this one. 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 also communicate fluently in English, while Swedish skills are naturally 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.
