Executive Assistant — BDQ Holdings (Maputo)

BDQ Holdings is looking for an Executive Assistant to join its administrative team, based in Maputo. The role provides direct support to Executive Management and the Board of Directors, serving as an interface between management and all areas reliant on documentation, schedules, and institutional coordination.

It is a position close to the top of the organization: the person holding it ensures executives have time to make decisions, with everything prepared, organized, and followed up.

The company opens one vacancy and sets October 10, 2026 as the deadline for application submissions. The job posting defines a single route: the updated resume is sent by email with the subject line Executive Assistant. Only pre-selected candidates will be contacted.

What the role involves

The position combines three main work streams. The first is direct support to executives: managing schedules, commitments, meetings, and travel for Management and Executive Leadership. The second is document management: drafting, reviewing, and organizing correspondence, minutes, reports, and other administrative documents, maintaining both physical and digital archiving.

The third stream is internal coordination: preparing presentations, reports, and support materials for meetings, coordinating communication between Management and the different company departments, and organizing in-person and virtual meetings, with all necessary documentation prepared in advance.

The Executive Assistant also monitors compliance with decisions and tasks assigned by Management, ensures the confidentiality of information and documents under their responsibility, and supports the company's institutional relationships with clients, partners, and external entities.

In practice, the role also involves organizing executive travel — preparing documentation and coordinating schedules around meetings and events — and preparing briefing materials for top-level meetings.

In a corporate environment, it is the bridge function between Management and the rest of the company: it demands ongoing discretion, rigor, and organization, as it handles confidential documents, institutional correspondence, and daily executive activities. Confidentiality is a central aspect of the position: it deals with Management decisions and proprietary information, and ensuring that confidentiality is among the core responsibilities included in the role.

Profile sought

We are looking for a candidate with a Bachelor's degree in business administration, management, secretarial studies, international relations, or communications, and a minimum of three years of experience in management support or secretarial roles. The posting does not specify an industry sector: three years in any administrative or executive support role meets the minimum required by the company, and BDQ values candidates who have previously managed executive schedules and institutional documentation.

Fluency in spoken and written English is mandatory for this role, and Portuguese communication must be at a level capable of handling minutes, official letters, and institutional correspondence. Proficiency in Microsoft Office — Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook — is the daily working tool, and the company requires concrete experience in handling administrative management documents, with physical and digital filing.

Whoever assumes the position must know how to maintain pace under pressure, meet deadlines, work autonomously, and maintain discretion regarding what they see: the role touches directly upon Management decisions and information. Organization, attention to detail, and strong interpersonal skills complete the profile, while knowledge of corporate protocols and institutional relations will strengthen the application.

Remuneration

The announcement does not disclose salary or salary range. No figure is published, and the process follows the company's internal compensation policy.
