  • Directly driving or supporting some of the key projects in the owner strategy
  • Develop the agendas and some of the presentations for our Board of Directors and Executive Management Team meetings

It will provide you ample of development opportunities as we have very broad exposure to different tasks and network across the organization. You will be reporting to Director of Cooperative Processes, Siavash Leyh Mirshahi.

How will you be a success

  • You have a very good eye for detail and a strong sense of pride around the content you deliver
  • You are able to independently scope and setup analyses and projects, and deliver these on-time and in excellent quality
  • You are a good and effective communicator – and you know how to summarize otherwise complex topics in a simple manner
  • You are structured as a person – but also like to work in a more fluid environment when things develop in an unexpected way
  • You feel confident in navigating multiple priorities and can manage different stakeholders and team members

An excellent command of PowerPoint, Word, Excel, and English is an absolute must.
