Executive Assistant

Job description / Role

How much responsibility can you handle?

Ambitious? Highly motivated? Ready for a role that combines real influence with exciting potential?

Expect a brief that's every bit as varied as it is challenging. You'll be involved in everything from organising diaries and events, meetings and presentations to overseeing expenditure and helping in the preparation of annual budgets. The CEO will expect you to make the position your own and develop it to the full: assuming responsibility, using your initiative, being forward thinking, taking ownership and coming up with innovative ideas.

Requirements

To be successful you'll need to add proven commercial acumen to your minimum of 3 years' experience as a senior PA, coupled with personal impact, energy and enthusiasm. It's also vital that you are a native English speaker as this role requires extensive correspondence with the UK head office. You should also possess the ability to communicate professionally and effectively at all levels in a culture that's dynamic yet non-hierarchical.
