The position combines exacting executive support with broader project ownership in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change quickly.

The Role

• Triage communications, requests and deliverables, ensuring the executive has the information and preparation needed at the right time.
• Act as a discreet liaison with internal teams, senior stakeholders and external contacts.
• Coordinate travel, meetings and events with close attention to sequencing, logistics and follow-through.
• Take responsibility for ad hoc projects that require initiative, structured problem-solving and coordination across different stakeholders.
• Provide limited personal support where needed to keep professional and personal commitments aligned.

What We're Looking For

• A bachelor’s degree or higher and at least 12–15 years of strong professional experience.
• Exceptional judgement and the discretion to handle highly confidential information.
• Advanced organisational, prioritisation and time-management skills, with the flexibility to respond calmly when plans change.
• Clear, polished written and verbal communication and meticulous attention to detail.
• A record of anticipating needs, working independently and taking responsibility for high-quality outcomes.

Relevant Desirable Experience

Experience in client service or another demanding, customer-focused setting would be useful, but prior financial-services experience is not required.

This could suit an established senior executive assistant, chief-of-staff-style support professional or experienced client-service operator who enjoys combining detailed execution with close partnership at executive level.
