Position: Executive Assistant/Researcher
Posted by: International Access Corporation
Location: Tysons Corner, VA
Contract: Full-Time

We are a Washington, D.C. employer, International Access Corporation, that is Japanese-owned and serving primarily Japanese clients with research and management consulting since 1991. Executive Assistant/Researcher needed immediately for new U.S. subsidiary of a Japanese transportation technology company in Tysons Corner, VA located near Greensboro and Tysons Corner Metro stations. This is an exceptional growth and career-building opportunity. At this nascent stage in a fairly small office, the candidate will benefit from maximum visibility to senior management and thus be well-positioned to advance as the company expands. We are currently interested in reaching out to U.S. based professionals who have prior experience and interest in Japan.

Requirements:

• Have excellent English grammar, writing and speaking ability;
• Hold a Bachelors degree (minimum); Masters degree desirable;
• Be familiar with and comfortable in a Japanese-speaking setting;
• Be organized, detail-oriented, and able to quickly assess and follow up on administrative challenges as they emerge;
• Understand cash management. Prior bookkeeping and/or QuickBooks software experience is desirable, but in its absence the candidate must be willing and able to very quickly master these requirements;
• Bring a flexible, cooperative attitude to this position and a high level of energy and commitment to the goal of growing this company.
• Japanese language ability is helpful but not required, as the duties rely primarily on a U.S. native-level understanding of English and the U.S. cultural and business environment.

Responsibilities:

• Administrative duties include:
  • Formatting correspondence
  • Phone reception
  • Office upkeep
  • Light bookkeeping
  • Travel arrangements
  • General support for senior executives relocating from Japan. 
• Research duties include:
  • Investigating topical issues in the road and bridge industry
