How to Apply for Executive Assistant

at Kaluza

🏢 About Kaluza

Kaluza is a unique company at the forefront of energy technology, developing intelligent software that helps energy suppliers accelerate decarbonisation. Working here means contributing directly to the global transition to clean energy through innovative technology solutions. The company's mission-driven focus on sustainability makes it an attractive workplace for those passionate about environmental impact.

About This Role

This Executive Assistant role serves as a strategic 'force multiplier' for both the Chief Commercial Officer and Chief Growth Officer, going beyond traditional administrative tasks to enable global expansion and commercial excellence. You'll be orchestrating priorities, managing complex international logistics, and acting as a bridge between C-suite leadership and internal/external stakeholders in a high-energy environment focused on decarbonisation.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might begin with reviewing and optimizing the CCO and CGO's calendars, ensuring alignment with immediate business priorities like client meetings with global energy partners. You'd then prepare briefing materials for upcoming strategic discussions, coordinate international travel logistics, and facilitate communication between leadership and internal teams while managing external stakeholder inquiries. The day would likely involve proactive problem-solving to keep both executives focused on driving commercial growth and expansion initiatives.
