Job description
Sofitel Shahd Al Madinah sits a few steps from Al Masjid Al Nabawi, and this Executive Assistant Manager role supports the leadership running that five-star retreat. Comprehensive executive-level administrative support forms the core of the job, alongside leading and managing a team of administrative professionals. Operational excellence matters here, and the ideal candidate brings exceptional organizational ability and strong leadership capability to match. Saudi nationality is required for this position, along with proven expertise managing executive offices and driving administrative efficiency. You prioritize multiple tasks at once, relying on strong time management and organizational skills to keep the executive office running smoothly.
