Executive Assistant

You will work closely with 1-2 of our partners, where you will help manage the partner's complex calendars. With the partner as the focal point, you will work together with colleagues and teams, as well as the partner's external contacts.

You will be part of a team of 4 professional and energetic Executive Assistants, who spar with each other on a daily basis, work together on projects and act as backup for each other. You and the team are an essential part of our office in Oslo. The team is the center of a wide range of activities and initiatives, as well as an invaluable source of knowledge and connectivity.

You will proactively manage your partner's calendar, travel plans, handle enquiries and prioritize emails to ensure efficient use of resources and time. You will have to navigate between strategic planning and urgent tasks in an ever-changing day. In addition, you will help prepare and ensure the quality of presentations and other materials. It is therefore a requirement that you master both written and spoken English and Norwegian.

You have sound judgment and apply your experience to your tasks. You are proactive, enterprising and have good intuition. You find it motivating, exciting and challenging to be a problem solver and to work at a high pace. You are service minded by nature and display a high level of professionalism and confidentiality.

At McKinsey & Company, you have the opportunity to shape your role and create your own tasks. We encourage pursuing new ideas, and there are plenty of opportunities to join already existing projects and committees. In other words, you can create your own McKinsey.
