EA to CEO

My client requires an EA to work closely with the CEO in a  bright and entrepreneurial team, located  in Soho, central London.

The company  is a highly successful, innovative and rapidly expanding private investor-owned  business. They take pride in recruiting talented individuals, and look for intelligent, self-motivated, and hard-working individuals, who have a team spirited approach to their work.

The successful applicant will report directly to the CEO. This role is highly demanding and varied, with the scope to work on a range of exciting projects. It would suit someone who relishes the opportunity of being at the heart of a growing business. Alongside normal PA responsibilities, the role will be heavily Business EA orientated.  You will be working on a variety of tasks and so it is essential that you are proactive and highly organised, with the ability to multi-task and work well under pressure.  Ideally you will be highly organised, self-motivated and driven.  It is vital you have an excellent command of both written and spoken English and the ability to write succinct documentation.
   

The role may involve international travel and is much more than a typical 9-5 PA role, it requires you to be flexible, hardworking, driven and loyal. You will manage the changing schedules of the CEO and through nurturing relationships with existing and potential clients, suppliers and colleagues; you will ensure that this is achieved with minimal disruption. You will be trusted to make decisions on all aspects of the CEO's day to day affairs.  

The position offers excellent prospects with the added benefit of working alongside a very ambitious and entrepreneurial management team.  You must have previous experience in a similar position:  at least 4 years’ experience at this level  a must to apply as well as high standards, eye for detail and discretion.Main duties and responsibilities
