Executive Administrative Assistant

Job Title: Executive Administrative Assistant

Location: Munich, Germany (Hybrid –  3-4 days in office)

About the Role

As ADVANZ PHARMA continues to strengthen its position as the partner of choice for specialty, hospital, and rare disease medicines, we are seeking a highly proactive and digitally savvy Executive Assistant to support our VP DACH and the DACH Leadership Team.

This is not your average administrative role — it’s an exciting opportunity to work directly with senior leadership in a collaborative and agile working environment where your ideas, organisational skills, and initiative will have a genuine impact. You’ll coordinate critical meetings, manage leadership off-sites, and act as a trusted advisor in day-to-day operations.

Working closely with our Admin Assistant, you'll play a key part in ensuring smooth operations across the region, with the ability to influence how we work and continuously improve systems and processes.

What You’ll Do:

• Provide high-level administrative support to the VP DACH and the DACH Leadership Team
• Coordinate leadership off-sites, high-priority meetings, conferences, and executive travel
• Serve as a key point of contact between leadership and internal/external stakeholders
• Support in preparing accurate and professional presentations, reports, and correspondence
• Anticipate needs and proactively manage priorities in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
• Collaborate closely with the Admin Assistant, ensuring smooth coordination of transactional and operational tasks
• Maintain confidential files and databases, ensuring GDPR compliance
• Process invoices, purchase orders, and expense reports using SAP
• Continuously seek ways to improve workflows, tools, and communication
• Be the go-to person for cross-functional queries, acting as a hub for collaboration
• Support the team culture by promoting our “ONE Team” mindset and contributing to an inclusive, forward-thinking workplace

About You

We are looking for someone with a strong service mindset, digital agility, and a proactive approach to problem-solving. You're the kind of person who doesn't just manage tasks—you anticipate needs, challenge the status quo, and thrive in an agile setting. If you’ve supported senior leaders in a high-performance environment before and are fluent in both German and English, we’d love to hear from you.

Qualifications:              

• Fluent in German and proficient in English, both written and spoken
• Relevant administrative or commercial training/certification is a plus

Knowledge, Skills & Experience

• Experience supporting managing directors or general managers (essential)
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, especially PowerPoint, Excel, Outlook, and SharePoint
• Strong digital proficiency, including SAP and presentation preparation
• Fluent in both German and English, written and spoken
• Exceptional organisational skills and ability to juggle priorities in a fast-moving environment
• Excellent written and verbal communication, confident liaising with stakeholders at all levels
• Ability to work with discretion and maintain confidentiality
• Experience coordinating across international teams and managing external vendors
• A proactive, solution-focused mindset with a commitment to continuous improvement
• Hands-on, reliable, and comfortable with ambiguity and change
• Friendly, people-oriented, and culturally aware

What Success Looks Like in This Role

• Providing seamless, proactive support to senior leaders and the wider team

• Managing tasks and urgent priorities with confidence and accuracy
• Demonstrating initiative and digital fluency to improve systems and efficiency
• Being a collaborative team player who balances workload with the Admin Assistant
• Creating positive impact through innovation, service excellence, and trust
