DESCRIPTION:

Join our team at Thermo Fisher Scientific as an Executive Assistant supporting the Sector Commercial President of Biopharma Services. This high-impact role requires someone who can hit the ground running in a fast-paced, ever-changing commercial environment where priorities shift quickly and customer needs drive decision-making. You'll be more than an administrative support-you'll be a trusted partner and strategic sounding board for senior leadership.

In this role, you'll serve as a key liaison between the Sector Commercial President, customers, and internal stakeholders, managing complex administrative functions while supporting commercial strategy and customer-facing activities. You'll need a strong personality, thick skin, and the ability to thrive in an intense, dynamic business setting where agility and quick thinking are essential.

As a true partner to leadership, you'll be a good listener who can bounce ideas around, anticipate needs, and offer thoughtful input. Your excellent interpersonal skills and ability to build strong connections across the organization will be critical. You'll coordinate high-stakes customer meetings, support commercial initiatives, and ensure smooth operations across multiple time zones and business units-all while maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and confidentiality.

Your excellent organizational skills, attention to detail, and ability to prioritize competing demands will be essential as you manage complex schedules, prepare executive-level communications and presentations for commercial audiences, process expenses, and complete strategic projects. Success in this role requires being customer-focused, well-connected, and able to adapt instantly to changing business needs.

REQUIREMENTS:
