Business Assistant required for High Flyer CEO

This is an exceptional opportunity to work for the dynamic and charming CEO of a ‘Top Tier’ global finance house.  He is looking to bring on board a savvy and tenacious true Business Assistant, to deal with the day-to-day operations of the CEO’s office and ensure things happen. The CEO is high energy, very driven and meticulous on detail, so requires seamless support at all times.

Based in his office, you will manage a team assistant to whom, in time, you will delegate the more classic EA duties. The remit of the role is extensive and comes with huge responsibilities with lots of scope to get more involved. The role requires someone who can step up and support him with not only the classic EA duties, such as gate-keeping, managing a very busy diary, and overseeing global travel Itineraries, but also build relationships with key stakeholders and keep track of important contacts and make meetings happen.

The key part of this role is to be a real self starter, someone who has extensive business development / networking skills who is always three steps ahead and manages the CEO’s contacts being able to recognise an opportunity and set up meetings they feel will benefit the CEO and the business.

You must have extensive EA/Business Assistance experience, supporting a senior CEO of a FTSE 250 company.  Someone who can demonstrate real success with their business development and networking activities and who is intelligent and intellectually curious with true business acumen.  This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who really wants to be involved in the business and who can combine an EA role with that of business assistant.
