PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO MD (C2) – Namclear 41 views

A National Diploma in Office Administration, Business Management, or a related field from a Namibian institution like NUST or a TVET college is commonly expected. Employers often prefer candidates with ICB or CIMA administrative certifications, and proven experience in senior executive support within Namibian corporate or financial services environments.

Daily tasks include managing the MD’s complex calendar across local and regional time zones, preparing board and committee documents compliant with Namibian Companies Act requirements, and liaising with regulators such as the Bank of Namibia. You’ll also handle confidential correspondence, coordinate travel within SADC countries, and support compliance with Namibia’s Labour Act and POPIA data protection standards.

Respect for hierarchy and formal communication protocols are central—addressing senior executives by title and using structured reporting channels is standard practice. Punctuality, discretion, and relationship-building through face-to-face engagement remain highly valued, especially when coordinating with government entities or traditional authorities common in Namibian business contexts.

Strong performers may advance to Executive Support Manager, Office Services Coordinator, or transition into compliance, HR, or project coordination roles within financial institutions. Some pursue further studies via UNAM’s part-time programmes or Namibia Financial Sector Charter-aligned leadership development initiatives to support upward mobility.

Standard benefits include 20–25 days annual leave per the Namibian Labour Act, mandatory NAPWU pension contributions, and medical aid schemes registered with the Namibian Medical Aid Scheme Council. Many employers also offer study leave support and transport allowances aligned with industry norms in Windhoek-based financial services firms.

Apply via the official Namclear careers portal or advertised channels—CVs must highlight Namibian work experience, POPIA-compliant data handling, and familiarity with local statutory reporting. Employers prioritise candidates with polished English and Afrikaans communication skills, proven resilience in high-pressure settings, and references verifiable through Namibian professional networks or previous employers.
