Your job responsibilities will include:

You will be the right hand to the lawyers in our Banking & Finance department. The main part of your job will be preparing and formatting documents - you will work with Word daily. Additionally, you will prepare reports, work with spreadsheets, and communicate with the team, other departments, and our clients. You will prepare billing materials, plan meetings, and provide complete support for business trips (hotels, flights, travel arrangements...). You will also participate in the preparation and assembly of documents (both paper and electronic) for final signing (scanning, copying, printing, binding).

You will have other colleagues on the team to whom you can turn and who will help you learn everything you need.

What is important to us:

• An active and responsible approach to work. We expect independence and ownership from you - completing tasks on time is our priority.
• Excellent knowledge of Czech and good knowledge of English. We have international clients, so you will frequently work and communicate in English. You will also format bilingual documents.
• Good communication skills.
• Proficiency in MS Office. You will mainly work in Word; basic Excel skills are sufficient, and you will occasionally prepare PowerPoint presentations. It is important for us that you know how to format documents according to a given template, which we will be happy to teach you.
• Flexibility and strong organizational skills. Client work is unique, so it's good to manage your tasks effectively and be ready to adjust to changing priorities and demands.
• Accuracy and attention to detail. Your work often involves details and specific requirements.
• Technical skills. Experience with cloud storage will be an advantage, and the ability to learn to work with new systems and technologies will make your job easier.
• At least 6 months of work experience in a similar position is welcome.

What we offer you:

• A permanent contract.
• 5 weeks of vacation and 5 sick days.
• Quarterly bonuses in addition to the salary.
• Further education and personal development: You can enrol in educational courses or join workshops held in the office. You can also engage in CSR activities.
• Corporate events and fun: Teambuilding activities (we go skiing in Austria or rafting), we organize company parties and other events. In the office, we have table football, a ping-pong table, and a PlayStation.
• Benefits: 10,000 points in the Cafeteria system, meal allowance, Multisport card or contribution to pension/life insurance, and much more.
• iPhone and laptop.

Start date: November 1, 2024, or by agreement (you can join us later on).
