The role

The Personal Assistant position for the Compliance and NFR team has the mission of providing executive support to the bank's managers, helping to efficiently organize their day-to-day: agendas, meetings, travel, and other commitments

This is a role developed in a technological, dynamic, and international environment, so we need someone organized, resolute, and with the ability to anticipate needs. You will also be a regular point of contact with other teams and areas of the bank, ensuring good coordination and compliance with internal processes.

What you'll do

An important part of the work will be managing complex agendas. It is not just about organizing meetings, but also about knowing how to prioritize, anticipate possible changes, and coordinate agilely with assistants and management teams from other areas.

You will be responsible for coordinating recurring meetings linked to strategic international forums, internal area forums, and forums within the bank in different countries, ensuring the correct logistical and administrative preparation of each encounter. This includes the organization of in-person, hybrid, and virtual meetings, room management, accreditations, technical support, and coordination of external participants.

Another major responsibility will be the organization of national and international travel, taking charge of the entire process: itineraries, bookings, possible changes, authorizations, and coordination with the bank's travel agencies.

Additionally, you will manage the review and settlement of expenses, ensuring they comply with internal policies and procedures.

The position requires frequent coordination with different areas of the bank to guarantee that meetings, travel, and other activities are organized correctly and have the necessary authorizations.

Due to the type of information and people one works with, we are looking for someone very discreet, trustworthy, highly organized, and capable of working autonomously, even when changes arise or there are several priorities at the same time.

Profile we are looking for

  • We are looking for a person with experience providing support to managers, preferably in financial, technological, engineering environments, or in large international companies.

It is important to have experience in

  • Management of complex and changing agendas.
  • Organization and coordination of meetings with executive profiles.
  • Organization of national and international travel.
  • Management and control of expenses.
  • Coordination with different teams and areas.
  • Handling of confidential information.

A high level of English is required, as the position has an important international component and there will be regular contact with people and organizations from other countries.

Above all, we are looking for someone who is highly organized, resourceful and detail-oriented, able to anticipate, set priorities and handle several things at once. Someone with good judgment, discretion and ease in dealing with senior profiles in a demanding and dynamic environment.
