Administrator Assistant

Job-ID: M24-05
Location: Barcelona, Spain

**Your mission**

Let’s face it: it’s not always a wonderful world out there. Since the 1980s, natural hazards have caused over $5.3 trillion in losses with devastating impacts on lives and livelihoods. Yet half of those losses were insured. Climate change has challenged the insurance, financial institutions, asset managers like never before.

We cannot always stop natural hazards. But we can help prevent them from becoming disasters.

**Who we are**

Mitiga is a spinoff of Spain’s National Supercomputing Center, which hosts MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe.

At Mitiga, we want to make the world more resilient against natural hazards and climate extremes. We're on a mission to create the most reliable technology solutions to manage climate-induced risks with science, AI, and high-performing computing. We want to help prevent hazards from becoming disasters contributing to climate resilience, adaptation, and equity.

**Who you are**

You've been around the block a few times and have proven experience as an Administrator, Administrative Assistant, or something similar. But even if you don't have years of experience under your belt, show us how you've tackled similar challenges in the past.

In short, we need a superhero Administrator who can help keep our company running like a well-oiled machine. If that sounds like you, then we can't wait to meet you

**Your impact**
- Master of payments_ - you'll handle everything from client invoices to travel to vendor payments. And you won't just be throwing numbers around - you'll be dotting every _i_’s and crossing every _t_’s to make sure everything is perfect. You'll liaise with banks, accountants, auditors, when needed, ensuring proper bookkeeping and filing. You'll provide support to broader financial management initiatives (e.g., financial forecasts, projects' budgets and executions, etc) in collaboration with others.
- Organization is your motto:_ you'll also be our chief organization, keeping our office running like a tight ship. You'll be the go-to person for booking meetings, organising events, and making sure everything is in tip-top shape. And did we mention ordering office supplies and being the friendly face that greets our clients when they come in?
- Supporting travel arrangements_: when our team hits the road, you'll be the go-to person for all their travel needs. You'll make sure everything from flights to hotel rooms are sorted out, leaving our team free to focus on making our business the best it can be.

**Diversity**

A recent study shows that one in every 10 tech workers in Spain are women. Only 8% of all contracts in 2019 with people with disabilities were in technology and science. Meanwhile, 30% of LGTBIQ people in Spain do not come out in the workplace for fear of discrimination.

This is neither the world we want to live in nor the workplace we’re building.

Mitiga is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

In fact, we strongly encourage applicants from minority groups to apply.

**Our offer**

Our vision is to be the place where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, to stay and do their best work. Some of our benefits, like unlimited personal time or flexible working arrangements, help work adjust to your life - and not the other way around. You can work from home or come twice a week to our office near the beach in one of the coolest spaces in town (Talent Garden). Dogs and other furry friends are welcome

Our compressed work schedule allows you to work half a day on Fridays during the year (so you can start the weekend early). During the summer, it also allows you to work 4 days a week, so you spend time with your loved ones (or work on your tan). Shadow our leadership and participate in our structured feedback and mentorship programs. If you grow, we grow.
