• Manage executive calendars, coordinate travel, and process expense reports for the SVP and key leaders

• Plan and execute meetings, customer visits, and on-site events with efficiency and attention to detail

• Create polished reports, and data visualizations using Excel and PowerPoint

• Handle confidential materials, track approvals, and provide timecard oversight with professionalism and care

• Support workflows in enterprise systems including Workday, SAP, Concur, ADP ETime, and Dynamics 365

• Prepare reports and track data related to payroll, PTO, project time, and other key metrics

• Coordinate onboarding/offboarding logistics and provide site support coverage

• Lead or contribute to team-building efforts, internal communications, and process improvements

• Manage Crosslinkers email distribution lists, visitor registration, and mail/shipment coordination

What We're Looking For

We're seeking someone who thrives in a high-trust, high-autonomy environment and knows how to balance professionalism with approachability.

• 10+ years of administrative experience supporting executives or large cross-functional teams preferred

• Strong proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel, PowerPoint, Word), SharePoint, and Microsoft Teams

• Experience with enterprise systems such as SAP, Workday, Dynamics 365, ADP E-Time, and Concur

• Excellent organization, time management, and multitasking abilities

• Proven discretion with confidential information

• Confident and poised communication style, both written and verbal

• Prior experience in a corporate or global business setting preferred

• Independent, proactive, and comfortable navigating shifting priorities

What Sets You Apart

You're energized by solving problems, simplifying processes, and anticipating needs before they arise. You jump in, lend a hand, and bring clarity to complexity without needing to be asked.

You're also someone who values connection. Whether coordinating across sales, marketing, supply chain, or applied technology teams, you understand the power of communication, teamwork, and culture-building.

Why Evonik

At Evonik, we believe in investing in our people. This is a chance to build meaningful relationships, take ownership of your work, and contribute to a global business that values innovation, sustainability, and inclusion.
