Our Mission

• At Estrada International Staffing Solutions (EISS), We are committed to delivering innovative and impactful human resource solutions that empower organizations and individuals worldwide.
• By combining global expertise with local insight, we ensure compliance, inclusivity, and sustainable workforce practices across diverse markets.
• Our mission is to build trust, drive growth, and shape the future of work by consistently championing excellence in Human Capital Solutions.
• The Office of the CRO is the engine driving our market dominance.

How You'll Make an Impact

• We are looking for a high-intellect, strategy-minded Executive Assistant to be the right hand to our Chief Recruitment Officer.
• This is not a traditional administrative role; we are looking for an Operations or Strategy Analyst who wants to sit at the center of business growth.
• You will be the CRO’s force multiplier—managing high-stakes pitch decks, refining business development leads, and eventually representing the CRO in internal and external forums.
• You must be a fast learner with a "business growth mindset" who can anticipate needs before they are articulated.
• If you are a confident communicator who understands that a well-managed calendar is a strategic tool, and you’re hungry to grow into a leadership role, this is your path.

What You'll Do
Strategic Support & Business Development:

• Pitch & Proposal Development: Design and draft high-impact pitch decks and business proposals that win clients.
• Lead Generation: Support the CRO in identifying, researching, and qualifying business development leads.
• Operations Strategy: Analyze existing workflows and suggest data-driven strategies to improve business efficiency and revenue growth.

Executive Coordination & Representation:

• Calendar Management: Proactively manage the CRO’s calendar, ensuring time is protected for deep work and strategic priorities.
• Public Speaking & Representation: Act as a confident voice for the CRO, delivering presentations and representing the office in meetings.
• Stakeholder Management: Serve as a gatekeeper and liaison between the CRO and internal/external stakeholders.

Recruitment & Project Support:

• Talent Liaison: Support internal and external recruitment drives, ensuring the talent pipeline aligns with the CRO’s growth vision.
• Project Tracking: Monitor the progress of key initiatives, ensuring deadlines are met and the CRO is updated on all moving parts.

What We're Looking For
Professional & Technical Strengths:

• Academic Qualification: Bachelor’s degree (B.Sc) in Economics, Business Administration, or Finance.
• Context: Because of the "Strategy Analyst" requirement, a background that includes quantitative or business research is essential.
• Background: Minimum 2–3 years in Operations, Strategy, or Business Analysis.
• Strategic Acumen: A deep understanding of what drives business growth and how to translate strategy into action.
• Tech Savvy: Expert-level proficiency in PowerPoint/Canva (for decks), CRM tools, and data analysis.
• Recruitment Knowledge: Familiarity with the recruitment lifecycle is a strong plus.

Leadership & Interpersonal Strengths:

• Confidence & Presence: You must be comfortable interacting with C-suite executives and high-value clients.
• Public Speaking: Excellent verbal communication and the ability to present ideas clearly and persuasively.
• Strategic Eye for Detail: You catch the errors others miss and always look for the "strategic why" behind a task.
• Fast Learner: You possess the "absorb-and-apply" speed required in a high-growth environment.

Success Milestones: Your First Year
Within 3 Months: Foundational Sync & Efficiency:

• Calendar & Rhythm: Master the CRO’s schedule, ensuring 100% accuracy in arrangements and prioritizing high-value strategic meetings.
• Deck & Proposal Mastery: Take over the drafting of pitch decks and proposals, ensuring they are visually compelling and strategically sound.
• Lead Gen Support: Integrate into the BD workflow, supporting lead generation efforts and ensuring follow-ups are executed with precision.
• Recruitment Support: Assist in the internal and external recruitment process, ensuring candidate communication reflects the CRO’s standards.
• Operational Excellence Tracking: Take full charge of monitoring and tracking daily operational deliverables across all business units. You will implement a "Pulse Report" that flags the status of key projects to the CRO.
• Stand-up Coordination: Take the initiative in coordinating and leading daily or weekly stand-up meetings as required to drive project fulfillment and ensure team alignment.

Within 6 Months: Strategic Autonomy:

• Operations Strategy: Identify and implement at least two process improvements within the Office of the CRO to streamline operations.
• Independent Representation: Begin representing the CRO in specific internal meetings and project briefings, providing accurate summaries and action items.
• Public Speaking: Deliver your first internal or external presentation/briefing on behalf of the CRO’s office.
• Proposal Conversion: Directly contribute to the success of high-level pitches through meticulous research and strategic eye for detail in documentation.

Within 1 Year: Growth & Leadership Trajectory:

• Business Growth Ownership: Lead a specific strategic project or business development initiative from conception to execution.
• Strategic Advisor: Transition from an assistant to a trusted advisor, providing data-driven insights that influence the CRO’s decision-making.
• Full Representation: Successfully manage high-level external stakeholder relationships and meetings on behalf of the CRO when necessary.
• Role Evolution: Clearly define your growth path into a senior strategy or operations role within Estrada.

What the Recruitment Process Looks Like:

• Step 1 - Application Review: Our Talent Acquisition team will review your experience specifically in strategy or operations analysis and a history of high-stakes support.
• Step 2 - Pre-screening Call & Coffee Chat: An initial introductory/informal check on your confidence, communication style, and growth mindset.
• Step 3 - Panel Interview Session: A deeper dive into your strategic thinking and ability to manage complex operations.
• Step 4 - Technical Assessments: A pressure-test involving Pitch Deck Creation and a Strategic Scheduling/Prioritization task.
• Step 5 - CRO’s chat: A final session with the CRO to ensure a perfect strategic and cultural fit.
