Senior Executive Assistant

Job description

Want to help build a Board from the ground up, working hand-in-hand with the Chairman himself?

A leading investment management firm is looking for an experienced Executive Assistant to the Board to join its Governance team in Mayfair, London.

This is a genuinely rare opportunity: rather than stepping into an established structure, you'll be part of founding one, providing tailored front-line support to the Chairman and Board Members as the Board itself takes shape.

In this role you will

• Manage and coordinate the Chairman's calendar and priorities
• Coordinate Board meetings, agendas, presentation materials and minutes
• Take detailed Board meeting minutes and manage follow-up with cross-functional partners
• Research and arrange complex travel, including transportation, accommodation and transfers
• Provide out-of-office support while the Chairman is travelling, across time zones
• Act as a professional first point of contact on the Chairman's behalf
• Use judgement to manage priorities, escalate issues and flag concerns as they arise

You will bring

• 15+ years of experience as an Executive Assistant supporting c-suite executives
• Exceptional organisation, multi-tasking and project management skills
• A high level of professionalism, discretion and emotional maturity
• The ability to prioritise conflicting demands and resolve issues quickly
• Strong judgement in ambiguous, fast-moving situations
• Advanced Microsoft Office skills
• Diplomacy and assertiveness in equal measure

Mayfair, London. Full time. Apply now.
