Executive Assistant

At Genomines , our mission is to pioneer a new era of sustainable metal production by farming plants that hyperaccumulate metal.

Through synthetic biology and cutting-edge technology, we harness the power of nature to create plants that can farm for metals while decontaminating soils and creating cleaner lands for agriculture. Our ultimate goal is to become the world's first carbon-negative nickel producer, using sustainable, cost-competitive methods to extract the valuable resources our society needs for the energy transition.

ROLE OVERVIEW

The Executive Assistant is an individual-contributor role responsible for providing dedicated administrative and operational support to Genomines' CEO and leadership team, while also anchoring the company's office operations and team culture in France.

As Genomines scales its operations across France, South Africa, and other geographies, this role sits at the center of how the French office runs day to day and how the company builds a cohesive culture across a growing, distributed team.

The Executive Assistant will:

Manage the CEO's calendar, travel, and day-to-day priorities, and support the CEO's external communications.

Own administrative and office operations for the Les Ulis office, including vendor and facilities management.

Support core HR processes and help maintain the policies that keep Genomines running smoothly.

Help build team culture and drive cross-functional initiatives as Genomines grows across multiple countries.

This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role at the center of Genomines' day-to-day operations, not a managerial position.

The ideal candidate brings experience supporting senior leaders in a fast-moving environment and thrives working close to the action of a growing organization, though no specific industry background is required.
