EA – EMEA Sales Director Full Time NEW

We’re looking for a proactive, detail-driven Executive Assistant to support our Senior Director of Sales for the EMEA Emerging region. This is not your typical assistant role—it’s a dynamic position that blends executive support with HR coordination, finance assistance, legal documentation handling, and contingent workforce management. You’ll play a key role in ensuring smooth day-to-day operations while supporting various internal functions across teams and regions.

• Act as the primary contact and gatekeeper for the Dubai office.
• Use the AXS portal to generate salary/employment letters, renew trade licenses, submit financial statements, and track approvals.
• Manage subscriptions such as MEED and The Economist—track users, renewals, and payments.
• Coordinate Saudi-related requirements including visa letters and compliance documents with relevant departments.

Contingent Workforce Coordination:

• Collaborate with outsourcing partners to manage contracts, onboarding, and compliance.
• Process purchase orders, invoice verifications, and payment tracking for contingent workforce-related costs.
• Monitor compensation updates and maintain communication with recruitment agencies.
• Serve as the main liaison between Autodesk and external hiring vendors.

Procurement & Vendor Support:

• Raise and manage purchase orders through the Supplier Central portal; onboard and track vendors and invoices.
• Oversee department purchasing needs, vendor relations, and asset management (e.g., laptops, phones).
• Liaise with telecom providers (e.g., Du) and internal teams to manage mobile contracts, payments, and device distribution.

Finance & Compliance:

• Work closely with the Finance Business Partner (FBP) to ensure timely invoice processing and budget tracking.
• Support in OPEX tracking and budget planning processes.
• Assist the tax department with obtaining signed financial reports and related submissions.
