You may also be asked to assist other members of the support team during busy periods or absences. 

Due to the nature of this role, which requires flexibility, and in-person support to the team, the position is primarily based in the office.  

The role is a permanent position located in Oslo and will report to the Office Manager.

• Assist in scheduling and organizing meetings  

• Process and track travel expenses 

• Prepare, organize, and maintain travel documents and files 

• Support general office upkeep, including setting up and cleaning meeting rooms, and helping to keep our
  office welcoming and orderly  

• Assist in organizing company events, such as summer parties, roundtables, after-works, etc. 

• Perform ongoing ad hoc administrative tasks as needed 

Who are we looking for? 

The ideal candidate will have a few years of work experience and demonstrate a strong service-oriented and “can do” mindset. You should have excellent attention to detail, strong collaboration skills, and the ability to build and maintain positive working relationships across the organization. 

Adaptability and clear communication are essential, as priorities can shift and tasks may vary from day to day. A flexible mindset and a willingness to support wherever needed is key to succeed in this role. 

You should be comfortable using Microsoft Office, and have good written and spoken English, as it is our primary working language.
