The London division of a prestigious global consultancy, with impressive offices in the heart of the West End, are recruiting an Executive Assistant to support two Partners who are looking to recruit the 'rock star' of logistical EA's. This is a truly outstanding opportunity that could prove to be a pivotal point in your career. You would have exposure to working with some of the most prestigious names within their field; in order to be credible it is important that you are able to discuss your career and understanding of your role as an EA.

This globally recognised firm takes a very genuine interest in mentoring, training and developing all support staff and is renowned within the marketplace for producing the 'crème de la crème' of Executive Assistants, who are a very sought after commodity when they do indeed decide to re-enter the job market.

The key requirement of this role is to deliver and coordinate an exceptionally high level of support for exceptionally busy executives who travel extensively. Using your strong organisational and time management skills you will be responsible for complex diary management, booking global multi-stop travel and full inbox management. The ability to remain calm under pressure and juggle multiple tasks are essential as is the ability to build rapport quickly and easily in this role as you will be liaising with high profile clients and colleagues alike. You are someone who relishes the opportunity to work at pace with very tight and frequently changing deadlines.

This is an exciting opportunity for an ambitious EA who is looking for an involved role and the opportunity to propel their career. You are able to showcase your recent and demonstrable experience of supporting two very busy people who rely heavily on their EA to deliver with limited instruction.

Skills and experience required:

  • Demonstrable senior level EA experience in any sector but the ability to discuss your ability to work at pace
  • Outstanding time management skills and ability to multi-task
  • The ability to remain calm and focused under pressure
  • Advanced MS Office skills
  • Excellent communication skills (both written and oral)
  • A proactive and flexible approach to your workload
