Job description

We are not looking for a traditional 9–5 administrator. We are looking for a Executive Assistant who operates as a true right hand, is several steps ahead, and understands how to support senior leadership in a fast-paced, demanding environment.

The ideal candidate will have 10+ years of experience supporting Partners, Board members, CEOs or other senior executives, ideally within a fast-moving professional environment.

You will be expected to take complete ownership of:

• Complex and constantly changing executive diaries
• Board, Partner and senior-level meeting coordination
• Expenses, payments and financial administration
• Preparation of presentations, documents and briefing materials
• Senior stakeholder communication and follow-up
• Highly confidential and sensitive matters
• Microsoft Office / Microsoft 365 at an advanced level
• Anticipating requirements and resolving issues before they become problems

Beyond experience, we are looking for judgement, maturity, discretion, resilience and exceptional attention to detail.

You need to be someone who can move at pace, remain calm when priorities change, and simply make things happen.

This role will suit an EA who is accustomed to operating at the highest level — someone who doesn't need to be managed, doesn't wait to be asked, and takes genuine pride in being an indispensable part of the executive office.
