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.

Requirements:
- Have excellent English grammar, writing and speaking ability;

- 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.
