- You will support office operations including supply ordering, vendor coordination, visitor hosting, and event or meeting logistics, and provide ad hoc project support across departments as workload requires
- You will support cross-border coordination including scheduling across time zones, preparing bilingual meeting materials and summaries, and following up on action items with counterparts in both regions
- You will also assist with order, shipment, and vendor documentation where Korean-language correspondence is involved, ensuring details are captured accurately in both languages
Requirements- Professional fluency in both Korean and English, written and spoken, at a level sufficient for business correspondence and translation, is required
- Prior administrative assistant, office coordinator, or comparable support experience is required, along with proficiency in Microsoft Office applications including Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint
- You must demonstrate strong organizational skills, sound judgment about priority and confidentiality, and clear professional communication

- Familiarity with Google Workspace, ERP or order management systems, and basic bookkeeping or accounts payable processes is advantageous
- Prior formal translation experience and any exposure to marketing or sales support work are also valued
- Experience working with Korean manufacturers, suppliers, or parent-company functions is highly valued
- Familiarity with import and shipping documentation, comfort with fast-changing priorities typical of consumer beauty businesses, and any experience supporting executives or visiting delegations are all advantageous
