The role

You will be working within a team of Executive Assistants to provide support across our Business Units.

This includes intensive diary management for some very busy seniors, minute-taking, arranging client meetings and workshops, organising complex travel, and providing support for projects.

This is a very busy role working for several seniors and their teams. You will be given the autonomy to manage your own workload and work proactively. You will also work with the other EAs on tasks, such as large client meetings, and provide cover when they are on leave.

This is an office-based role with the flexibility to work from home.

  • Induction of new starters covering processes and practices within the business unit
  • Liaising with other departments such as Accounts, Purchasing, Logistics, Reception, and the Business Office
  • Collaborate closely with your line manager to ensure business rhythm and minimise disruptions, including cover during leave.
  • Working well with people on all levels is an important part of your job. Manage good relations with other seniors, external partners, and colleagues.
  • Processing statements of work on our system and obtaining signatures for contracts
  • Support client meetings - arranging site tours of our facilities and be on hand during the day of visits to help with materials or other needs
