Job description

Our client, a boutique executive-search firm with lovely west-end based offices, is seeking a project coordinator/assistant to join them on a 3-month contract basis. Starting asap, and covering for a colleague on sick leave, the role is also designed to support the team through a particularly busy period and may well be extended or even go permanent depending on the business needs.

Certainly seeking a candidate who can commit until September, the client is looking for an organized, reliable, and client-facing individual who has worked in search or recruitment-heavy admin roles before.

A combination of PA-style duties such as diary and calendar management, travel booking, expenses, etc., as well as more search-specific projects such as interview scheduling, research, and collating BD/marketing collateral. This is a varied support role that requires excellent attention to detail and a first-rate communicator who is well-versed at offering project admin-style support in a fast-paced environment. Working as part of a high-performance team, this role has the scope to develop and become more involved/client-facing as the candidate’s understanding of the business grows. The company offers a very generous hybrid model – 2 days in the office – and as such, we are seeking a trustworthy, capable, and switched-on candidate who can self-motivate and work effectively from home. If you are immediately available and seeking an FTC that may be ongoing, this could be the perfect opportunity! Professional services/search backgrounds preferred.
