Les services généraux constituent la "salle des machines" de l'ambassade, fournissant un large éventail de services essentiels pour soutenir la réalisation des objectifs clés du gouvernement de Sa Majesté. Nous fournissons des services de plate-forme à environ 170 employés de 7 départements gouvernementaux et administrations décentralisées situés soit à l'ambassade britannique de Tokyo, soit au consulat général britannique d'Osaka.
Le responsable du protocole est un rôle unique qui vous oblige à communiquer quotidiennement avec nos diplomates et nos homologues du ministère des affaires étrangères pour gérer la paperasserie. Nous recherchons un généraliste capable de fournir un service de qualité au rythme de l'attention portée aux détails. Le titulaire du poste travaillera dans le cadre de règles, directives, règlements et politiques définis et fournis. Une expérience préalable dans le domaine du protocole diplomatique n'est pas requise, bien que ce soit un avantage. Les questions qui sont nouvelles ou qui sortent d'un cadre clair doivent être soumises au directeur adjoint des services généraux qui sera votre supérieur hiérarchique.
En tant que responsable des services généraux, le titulaire du poste aura également la possibilité de faire l'expérience de divers domaines de travail au sein de l'entreprise - soit en couvrant le rôle en l'absence de quelqu'un, soit en acceptant un type de travail de projet dans lequel vous pouvez mettre à profit vos compétences/expériences. L'équipe redéfinit ses priorités chaque année, et nous attendons une variété de travaux liés aux Jeux olympiques en 2021.
