We're looking for a highly organized and proactive Administrative Assistant to support purchase order (PO) coordination and cross-functional stakeholder communication for our client's team.

Interface with external stakeholders (vendors, suppliers, and service providers) to confirm order details, delivery timelines, and invoicing.
Maintain organized records of POs, contracts, and related documentation; ensure compliance with internal purchasing policies.
Schedule and coordinate meetings related to procurement and budget planning, including preparing agendas and distributing materials.
Reconcile expense reports and purchase documentation in partnership with finance teams.
Manage day-to-day administrative needs of the team: office supplies, equipment orders, software license requests, and vendor communications.
Support onboarding of new vendors or team members as it relates to procurement processes.
Collaborate with a broader admin team on cross-departmental projects and process improvements.
Handle sensitive and confidential purchasing information with discretion.

What We’re Looking For

Must-Have Experience

5+ years of experience in an administrative, coordination, or procurement support role.
Experience managing purchase orders, invoices, or vendor relationships.
Excellent organizational skills with acute attention to detail.
Strong written and verbal communication skills; comfortable coordinating across multiple stakeholders and departments. Please apply only if you are fully bilingual in English (no exceptions).
Ability to balance multiple priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment.
Proficiency with standard office and procurement/finance software (e.g., spreadsheets, PO/ERP systems).

Nice-to-haves

Experience supporting Directors, Senior Directors, or similar leadership.
Familiarity with corporate procurement systems and approval workflows.
Bachelor's degree.
Calm, solutions-oriented demeanor under pressure; strong sense of professionalism and discretion.

What You'll Bring

A proactive, "no task too small" mindset paired with strategic thinking about process improvement.
The ability to build trust and rapport across all levels of the organization.
A collaborative spirit and a genuine interest in supporting a high-performing team.

We strive to move efficiently from step to step to make the recruitment process as fast as possible.
