Executive Assistant / Agenda Whizz

As an Executive Assistant, would you describe yourself as an enthusiastic perfectionist?

Exceptional agenda manager sought for one of the world’s leading and most influential firms.  This represents an opportunity to work with some of the brightest minds in London – both in terms of the professionals you support but also in terms of the dynamic community of like-minded graduate Executive Assistants you will find around you.

Supporting two ambitious Partners as an Executive Assistant you will support them in every aspect of their challenging client projects and you will have a natural instinct to over-achieve.

From interpreting ambiguous client requests to turning detective in the inbox, it will be your mission to ensure smooth execution of the complex consultancy work carried out by your Executives.

You will enjoy problem solving where logistics are concerned – is it best to route my consultant via JFK or La Guardia? How can I secure a Chinese visa with 48 hours’ notice?

You will have the confidence and gravitas to take decisions on behalf of your boss – even if that may mean you sometimes make the wrong judgement call. You must be comfortable and accustomed to working autonomously without lots of input (as your Partners can be “on the road” throughout a typical working week).

This is a highly meritocratic environment: recognition and opportunities to add value come with delivering exceptional client service under sometimes high volume, high pressure circumstances.

It is comforting to know that as part of working for this employer (consistently voted in lists of “top places to work”), you will enjoy a healthy work-life balance (minimal out-of-hours support required), enviable benefits (including completely free restaurant, onsite gym, personal trainers / classes and great pension and healthcare) and a vibrant, sociable, sporty bunch of co-workers with plenty of opportunities to get involved in firm-wide programmes.

If you are looking to excel in client service and thrive in a pacy, high volume organisational role – please provide a brief explanation of your interest with your application.
