Executive Assistant (m/f/d) - Berlin based

Monarch is seeking an Executive Assistant (f/m/d) to join our growing team.

Monarch is a well-funded security and information service provider based in Berlin, run by seasoned founders, intelligence experts and industry leaders. We are recruiting
individuals looking to put their mark on the world and the information industry. We are supporting political and digital sovereignty for Europe and beyond. We cater to commercial and governmental clients and always operate on a legal basis, following a strict code of ethics and adhering to democratic values.

We help our clients to solve complex problems in the digital and information age.

For us, loyalty and transparency come first. We want to modernize the world of information service providers and clean up a business with dated processes and a questionable image. We are looking for team members who run up escalators and live with a sense of urgency to get things done. Our job descriptions are written in
pencil. Once in your role, you adapt to the tasks at hand and steer your own career in one of the most interesting industries of our times. We like to set our targets high but believe in under-promising and over-delivering. And finally, we like well-rounded individuals. We work hard but we have families, do sports, pursue the arts, travel and whatever else allows us to decompress when necessary. We are a remote-first company and measure results and not time spent in the office.
