4 days ago

مصر, Egypt Emprego EG Full time

**Background**:Ashoka is the global association of the world’s leading social entrepreneurs—men and women with system changing solutions for the world’s most urgent social problems. Social entrepreneurs are individuals with innovative solutions to society’s most pressing social problems. From its regional office in Cairo, Ashoka Arab World creates a competitive, entrepreneurial, and globally integrated citizen sector and develops the profession of social entrepreneurship. Ashoka currently works with more than 100 Ashoka Fellows located in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Palestine, Bahrain, Tunisia, Libya, the UAE, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia.

**Overview**:The Executive Assistant provides continuous unconditional support to the Regional Director in helping her achieve her objectives and goals, especially when she is outside the office due to work travels or other activities. In doing so, the EA works closely with the Partnership and Communication Officer and the Regional Director’s Personal Assistant, as part of the Executive Team. This post calls for flexibility, excellent interpersonal skills, project coordination experience, and the ability to work well with all levels of internal management and staff, as well as outside partners.

Working closely with the Regional Director, the EA will assist her in many aspects of her work managing the AAW office (including, for example, staff management, fundraising, project management, internal operations, and financial management). There is great opportunity for the person in this role to expand their skills and experience as they are increasingly called upon to contribute to the office’s programmatic work - this could be anything from management and staff development to fundraising. Sensitivity, confidentiality, and an ability to produce excellent work under tight deadlines are all essential requirements of this position.

The EA also assists the Regional Director with her work in various roles and positions outside of AAW. The RD, for example, is a public figure for women’s rights and sought out as an advisor to multinational donors. As such, the EA is in a unique position to be exposed to a wide variety of activity in the social development space in Egypt and the region.

**Areas of Responsibility**:
**Correspondence**:

- Conduct follow-up on correspondence between the RD and other external parties or the staff of the office (this could include Ashoka Global, other Ashoka country offices, partners, or other interlocutors)
- Type and send out specific correspondence to appropriate internal and external audiences, as requested by the RD
- Research and create profiles of new contacts, as needed.

**Scheduling**:Ensure that the RD’s time is well organized through intelligent planning and management of her appointments and meetings in collaboration with the RD’s Personal Assistant.

**Trips and Event Management**:Handle the RD’s travel logistics, reports etc. in collaboration with the RD’s Personal Assistant, external partners and Ashoka Arab World staff. Produce a personal schedule and trip packet for each trip. Schedule planning meetings and debriefing meetings and maintain hard and soft copy files for each trip.

**Meetings**:Attend meetings and phone calls, take notes and perform and follow-up established action items.

**Liaising/Following-Up**:When appropriate, act as a liaison between RD and AAW staff to ensure the completion of any pending or outstanding tasks within the AAW office. Establish and maintain follow up system to be sure that no task set by the RD remains incomplete.

**Filing**:Organize the Regional Director's files in hard and soft copies. File the Regional Director's personal items as per her requirements. Organize and update the files on the RD's computer and laptop and ensure that all proposals, reports, and other important documents are on her computer, laptop and flash-drives.

**Research**:Prepare research briefs on potential investors and partners, Fellows, and various other topics under direction of the Regional Director and as requested by her or by the Partnership and Communication Officer. Conduct research, as requested, for the RD’s personal writings (including her blog and her novel).

**Writing and Social Media**:Under the direction of the RD, contribute to RD’s blog and portfolio of personal writing with drafts, edits and research. Work under the guidance of the PCO to promote English blog using social media. Follow up to ensure promotion of RD’s articles, blog entries, and media interviews through social media and tailored mailing lists.

**Misc**:Perform any other tasks as assigned by the RD. The RD has various other commitments and roles outside of AAW - the EA is expected to provide support in those areas as well.

**Qualifications**

**Education**:B.A. in a relevant field

**Experience**:2 years of relevant field experience is required

**Language**:Native fluency in written and spoken English require
