Executive Secretary

This role is ideally suited for a motivated individual with a Bachelor's or Master's degree and at least 3 years of executive-level administrative support experience, particularly within academic or research settings. The ideal candidate will possess exceptional written and verbal communication skills, strong organizational and time-management abilities, and proficiency in MS Office Suite. They should be adaptable to a temporary, contractual position and capable of providing high-level administrative support, managing multiple priorities, and acting as a primary point of contact for the Dean of IC&SR.

Candidates seeking a permanent government position should not apply, as this role is purely contractual and temporary (initially for one year). Individuals without a Bachelor's degree or less than 3 years of relevant executive administrative experience will not meet the eligibility criteria. Those looking for a role with a defined, high-end pay scale or significant career advancement within this specific position might find it unsuitable, as the pay is experience-based and the role is fixed-term.

Working as an Executive Secretary at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras, a globally recognized institution, offers significant institutional prestige. While the role is contractual, it provides valuable experience in a high-level administrative capacity within the Office of Industrial Consultancy and Sponsored Research (IC&SR), exposing the candidate to cutting-edge research and industry collaborations. This experience can be a strong asset for future career prospects, especially in the academic or research administration sector, despite the temporary nature of the initial appointment.
