Canonical is a leading provider of open source software and operating systems to the global enterprise and technology markets. Our platform, Ubuntu, is very widely used in breakthrough enterprise initiatives such as public cloud, data science, AI, engineering innovation and IoT. Our customers include the world's leading public cloud and silicon providers, and industry leaders in many sectors. The company is a pioneer of global distributed collaboration, with 1000+ colleagues in 70+ countries and very few roles based in offices. Teams meet two to four times yearly in person, in interesting locations around the world, to align on strategy and execution.

The company is founder led, profitable and growing. We are hiring Taipei Office Administrators with excellent English to take responsibility for the success of our Taipei office and hardware certification lab. Our new office and briefing centre in Minsheng will be complete in August 2024 and we are excited to have a world-class presentation, meeting and briefing space for customers, colleagues and partners. Our hardware certification lab is up and running in Xizhi District and serves as the critical infrastructure for our relationships with Dell, HP, Lenovo, ASUS, Mediatek, ARM , Intel and other partners.

Our office administrators are part of our global corporate operations team which covers business services, travel and logistics, events, expense management and administration. We look for positive team players who are self-driven and results oriented, with excellent attention to detail. The best candidates show that they are forward planners, reliable and determined, and keen to assume responsibility for projects, processes and policy. We are a unique global business, so we are not looking for candidates with extensive experience so much as excellent organisers and communicators who are keen to develop skills and strive for continuous improvement.
