Executive Assistant
Kongsberg Maritime is in an exciting new chapter as a stand-alone listed company. To support our continued growth and global ambitions, we are looking for two highly capable Executive Assistants supporting the CEO and Executive Management Team.
We are looking for people who genuinely enjoy creating structure, delivering exceptional service and helping others succeed.

It falls in your nature to you to represent the company with warmth, professionalism and attention to detail.
In this role, no two days are the same. One day you may be coordinating an executive visit, preparing materials for a leadership meeting and receiving international customers. The next day you may be supporting travel arrangements across several countries, handling sensitive communication or solving unexpected issues before anyone else notices them.
This is an office-based role requiring a strong on-site presence and close collaboration with leaders, colleagues, customers and visitors.

- Handles confidential information with discretion, professionalism, and integrity.
- Has a genuine passion for service and takes pride in enabling leaders, colleagues, customers, and visitors to have a positive experience.
You understand that exceptional executive support is about more than administration. It is about anticipating needs, creating structure, maintaining momentum, and helping others perform at their best. You bring a professional and positive approach to your work, remain calm under pressure, and consistently deliver high-quality results while building strong working relationships across the organization.
Qualifications- Relevant education or equivalent experience.
- Experience as Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Executive Coordinator, Office Manager, hospitality professional or similar role.
- Experience supporting senior leaders is highly desirable.

Kongsberg Maritime is one of the maritime industry's leading technology companies, headquartered in Norway. In this role, you will work closely with senior leaders, gain insight into strategic priorities, and play an important role in ensuring the organization operates efficiently and professionally.
You will join a company that values collaboration, service excellence, trust, and execution. We are less concerned with your industry background than your attitude, professionalism, and service mindset.
