Are you a reliable and discreet professional who takes pride in supporting a small, tight-knit team?

Do you value a varied work environment where your contribution matters?

A privately-owned commercial property investment and development company with a portfolio of approximately properties is looking for a dedicated Executive/Business Assistant to join their team.

You will be:

The kind of person who thrives on being the calm, organised core of the office. You’re trustworthy, diligent and professional—someone who anticipates needs, solves problems proactively and handles sensitive information with absolute discretion. You take pride in getting the small things right and are equally willing to take on larger projects.

What you’ll be doing day to day:

• Supporting the CEO and team with administrative tasks and diary management
• Managing the day-to-day operations and facilities of the office
• Managing petty cash and reconciling company credit card expenses
• Assisting with bookkeeping tasks including inputting invoices and receipts and payments
• Updating Excel spreadsheets and Word documents for reporting
• Assisting with the management of small portfolio of residential properties
• Liaising with property managers, suppliers and other professionals
• Coordinating meetings, greeting guests and preparing the boardroom
• Supporting the CEO personally, including occasional tasks for his family
• Organising events, travel bookings and seasonal gifting

The skills you need to bring:

• Solid work history with a strong sense of loyalty and integrity
• Confident communication skills, written and spoken, across all levels
• Exceptional attention to detail
• Professional attitude and willingness to take on varied tasks
• Comfortable working with minimal supervision (sometimes alone) and managing shifting priorities
• IT confident with strong skills in Microsoft Word and Excel
• Good numerical skills with experience of computerised accounting systems such as SAGE or similar
