Business Executive Assistant

Job Description Business Executive Assistant, International Family Care & Professional.

Location:

Cape Town. Closing date: 14th May 2026. Kimberly Clark's International Family Care & Professional business — an organization rooted in purpose and innovation that has built a legacy with global impact. As Kimberly-Clark forms a strategic partnership with Suzano to create a world-class international tissue and professional products company, this role is proposed to transfer to the new venture once the transaction closes, anticipated in mid-2026, subject to consultation and other applicable legal requirements.

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a new global leader backed by two industry powerhouses. You’ll be part of a high-potential business that combines Kimberly-Clark’s iconic brands and commercial excellence with Suzano’s industrial and sustainability leadership. In this role you’ll focus on winning with consumers and the market, while putting safety, mutual respect, and human dignity at the center.

You’re not the person who will settle for just any role. Neither are we. Because we’re out to create Better Care for a Better World, and that takes a certain kind of person and teams who care about making a difference. Here, you’ll bring your professional expertise, talent, and drive to building and managing our portfolio of iconic, ground-breaking brands. In this role, you will be responsible for the following:

• Plan and coordinate executive and senior leadership conferences and events.
• Coordinate domestic and international travel and visitor logistics (itineraries, travel agent liaison, car hire, and foreign exchange).
• Support budget preparation and tracking as required.
• Manage complex calendars, scheduling and logistics for internal and external meetings, including senior leader and customer engagements.
• Oversee office and operational administration for the leadership team, including vendor and facilities coordination, access / visitor requirements, and escalation of service requests to ensure a seamless executive work environment.
• Provide ad-hoc project coordination and stakeholder support, including communications and event-related engagement as needed.
• Process expenses and reconcile corporate credit cards (Concur) to ensure accurate and timely submissions.
• Raise purchase orders, submit requisitions, and follow up on invoice payments in SAP in line with company policy.
• Provide high-level administrative support to the GM and senior leadership team, ensuring confidentiality and effective day-to-day operations.
• Take minutes and coordinate meeting documentation, including distribution of actions and management of pre-read materials.
• Maintain organized records and digital filing systems (including MS Teams / SharePoint) to enable quick and accurate information retrieval.
• Maintain and consolidate BU project trackers (timelines, milestones, and resource allocation) for visibility and reporting.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for departmental requests, directing queries and information to the appropriate stakeholders.
• Prepare for key meetings by coordinating agendas, pre-reads, materials / scorecards, meeting spaces, and required technology; manage related meeting budgets where applicable.
• Draft and format correspondence, reports, and presentations for senior leaders, applying sound knowledge of policies, processes, and business terminology.
