You will support office operations including supply ordering, vendor coordination, visitor hosting, and event or meeting logistics, and provide ad hoc project support across departments as workload requires
You will support cross-border coordination including scheduling across time zones, preparing bilingual meeting materials and summaries, and following up on action items with counterparts in both regions
You will also assist with order, shipment, and vendor documentation where Korean-language correspondence is involved, ensuring details are captured accurately in both languages
Requirements
Professional fluency in both Korean and English, written and spoken, at a level sufficient for business correspondence and translation, is required
Prior administrative assistant, office coordinator, or comparable support experience is required, along with proficiency in Microsoft Office applications including Outlook, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint

Prior formal translation experience and any exposure to marketing or sales support work are also valued
Experience working with Korean manufacturers, suppliers, or parent-company functions is highly valued
