• Help bridge differences in time zones, processes, and working practices between North America and Taiwan teams.

• Communicate clearly and professionally across different organizational levels and cultural environments.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Management, Human Resources, Accounting, Finance, or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.

• 5+ years of relevant professional experience in office administration, business operations, HR operations, finance/accounting support, procurement, or a related function.
