Supports the CEO with executive coordination, project execution, client and business development activities, regulatory and scientific initiatives, marketing, finance, internal operations, and HR coordination. Responsibilities include managing schedules, tracking deadlines, preparing presentations and reports, coordinating cross-functional stakeholders, organizing regulatory documentation, researching markets, supporting customer proposals, and managing onboarding and offboarding activities.
About Our Client
Indogulf is an Ontario-based agri-biotech company located at Western Research Parks in London, Ontario. We develop and manufacture biological agricultural inputs, specializing in microbial species and mycorrhizal fungi, with several products already registered with the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA).
Our mission is to help farmers, growers, greenhouse operators, and agricultural partners transition toward more sustainable practices while improving crop productivity and profitability.
Role Overview
This is not a traditional administrative-only Executive Assistant role. You will work alongside the CEO across multiple areas of the business, helping move projects from discussion to execution and completion. Your work may span client projects, regulatory initiatives, marketing, sales and business development, finance, strategy, recruitment, partnerships, scientific projects, and internal operations.
The role combines executive support, project coordination, business execution, and scientific/agricultural work. You should be equally comfortable preparing a customer presentation, coordinating a regulatory project, following up on business development actions, and organizing employee onboarding/offboarding.
This opportunity would suit someone with a scientific or agricultural foundation who is interested in developing broader commercial and business experience while working closely with the CEO of a growing agri-biotech company.
