Job Description
Position Overview
Tauzer Apiaries is a second-generation commercial beekeeping operation serving Northern California’s agricultural community. We are seeking a Bilingual Executive Assistant to support leadership and field communication as we modernize our systems and strengthen coordination across crews.
This role will serve as a communication and organizational bridge between management and Spanish-speaking field teams — ensuring clear direction, accountability, and consistency throughout the season. The ideal candidate is proactive, organized, culturally fluent, and thrives in a dynamic agricultural environment.
Key Responsibilities1. Communication & Translation
- Serve as the primary bilingual liaison between the President and field employees.
- Translate and relay daily work plans, schedules, and company communications (English ⇄ Spanish).
- Join field check-ins and meetings to ensure full understanding of goals, expectations, and safety procedures.
- Translate written materials including text messages, forms, policies, and notices.
2. Operational Coordination
- Support daily and weekly work planning (yard moves, crew assignments, deliveries).
- Track progress and relay field updates, issues, or requests to management.
- Help standardize communication tools (WhatsApp groups, digital checklists, etc.).
- Maintain basic records (time tracking, vehicle/equipment logs, material inventory).
3. Executive Support
- Manage administrative tasks such as scheduling, document prep, filing, and follow-up communication.
- Assist with onboarding new employees (bilingual orientation materials, HR forms, policy explanations).
- Support reporting and compliance tasks (FSA, worker hours, safety records, etc.).
- Coordinate with vendors or agencies as directed.
4. Cultural & Team Engagement
- Help maintain a positive, respectful, and communicative workplace culture.
- Participate in weekly tailgates and company events.
- Ensure information flows both ways — from leadership to field, and from field to leadership.
Qualifications
Required:
- Full fluency in Spanish and English (reading, writing, and speaking).
- Excellent interpersonal and communication skills across cultures.
- Strong organizational and follow-through skills.
- Proficient with smartphones, Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive), and messaging tools (WhatsApp, etc.).
- Valid driver’s license and willingness to visit field locations.
Preferred:
- Experience in agriculture, construction, or field-based operations (not required to be beekeeping-specific).
- Prior experience as an administrative assistant, coordinator, or translator in a bilingual environment.
- Comfort working around outdoor operations, crews, and varying conditions.
Personality & Values Fit
We’re looking for someone who:
- Values clarity, respect, and reliability in communication.
