Who We Are:
At Journal Technologies, we believe our technology can be a force for good in the world ensuring the proper and efficient functioning of some of the most foundational aspects of society - the courts and justice system.
We create and implement enterprise software that supports the administration of justice, currently in the United States, Canada, and Australia. While our eSeries product suite enables governments and their employees to deliver continued foundational court processes, our R&D focuses on leveraging emerging possibilities with technology to improve access and efficiency.
Headquartered in Los Angeles, Journal Technologies is a long-time, wholly-owned subsidiary of Daily Journal Corporation (NASDAQ: DJCO). We also have a major office in Logan, Utah, a team in Melbourne, Australia, an office in Victoria, Canada and a growing number of remote staff across North America and the world.
Under our next generation of leadership, we're implementing a new vision for the company that prioritizes building an extraordinary workplace with empowered people at the heart of our business. Great people want to collaborate with great people, and we are actively looking for smart, motivated people who care deeply about the work they do.

We are seeking a experienced Executive Assistant to work closely with Journal Technologies senior leadership team.

The successful candidate will seamlessly execute a high volume of day-to-day administrative tasks, including organization, communication, and scheduling with minimal guidance or supervision.
Strong professional writing and editing skills will be highly valued, as will a proven ability to understand and work towards desired outcomes (versus being more limited to following prescribed processes).

- Prepare materials, presentations, and other necessary documents for leadership and board meetings.
Office Management:
- Oversee daily operations of our new Victoria office, including managing supplies, space organization, vendor relations, and facility coordination.
- Review, assess, and handle routine inquiries to maintain smooth office workflows.
- Manage office budgets, ensuring cost efficiency and timely payments to vendors.
- Coordinate office maintenance, security, and equipment needs.
- Plan and oversee internal office events, such as team gatherings, celebrations, and employee engagement activities.
Operational Efficiency:
- Identify opportunities to improve the efficiency of administrative procedures and take a proactive role in implementing enhancements.
- Help ensure smooth-running business operations by anticipating needs, addressing issues promptly, and maintaining organized systems.
- Serve as a central point of contact for office and executive support, providing solutions to challenges as they arise.
Qualifications/Capabilities:
- 4+ years of executive-level administrative support experience, ideally in the technology sector.
- Highly organized and with outstanding attention to detail; a proven ability to keep the urgent and important in check.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; working well with all levels of internal management and staff to get things done and help hold people accountable. A sense of humor, and understanding people and their overarching motivations will be assets.
- Superb writing and editing skills to create high-quality, professional written communications.
- Proven ability to work with minimal guidance to figure out approaches to solve problems and achieve outcomes.
- Comfort with technology tools such as Microsoft Office, Teams and Slack; and a willingness to find, evaluate and implement new productivity software.
