Executive Assistant

Job Purpose

This role exists to increase the leader’s effectiveness by driving priorities forward, enabling well‑informed decisions, and ensuring critical matters are actively followed through.

Success in this role is measured by clarity, speed, and quality of execution.

What Success Looks Like

• The leader always knows what matters most, what is done, what is at risk, and what needs a decision.
• Deadlines are met because they are actively managed, not because people are reminded last minute.
• Materials related to banking and finance are clear, structured, and decision‑ready.
• Communication is concise, factual, and outcome‑focused — no noise, no formality for show.
• Issues are surfaced early, with thinking and options — not just problems.

Key Outcomes & Responsibilities

• Priority & Time Control
  Own the leader’s calendar and priorities so time is spent on high‑impact work, not reactive activities.
• Execution Follow‑Through
  Track commitments, drive follow‑ups, and close loops. Work does not stall because “someone forgot”.
• Decision Support (Banking & Finance)
  Prepare, review, and challenge financial and banking‑related content so decisions are based on solid logic, not assumptions.
• Critical Thinking & Pushback
  Question unclear logic, highlight risks, and offer alternative views when something does not make sense.
• Clear Communication
  Provide short, sharp updates in Vietnamese and English — focused on status, blockers, and next steps.

Required Capabilities

• Strong foundation in banking and finance; able to understand and work with complex content.
• Critical, independent thinker — not a passive executor.
• Excellent planning, prioritization, and follow‑up discipline.
• Communication:
• Vietnamese: concise, direct, outcome‑driven. English: excellent (professional working level or above).
• Fast‑paced, proactive working style with a strong sense of ownership.
• Modern, Results‑oriented mindset

Who Will Excel in This Role

• Strong candidates may originate from banking, finance, insurance, securities, or other relevant backgrounds, bringing diverse perspectives and transferable expertise.
• Naturally focused on outcomes and pace, not activity for activity’s sake.
• Confident working with senior leaders, speaking up early and constructively when something needs attention.
• Performs best in environments that value clarity, speed, and substance over hierarchy and bureaucracy.
• Typically someone at a stage of career where learning agility, energy, and perspective from varied backgrounds matter more than tenure.
