US law firm based in the City is looking to recruit a new Personal Assistant to support their London Office Chair, this role will be a minimum 12 months in length.  This role will be very heavy on the PA/organisation side where you will be managing your boss’ life where he will be travelling and out of the office for vast parts of the year.  You will be working as the gatekeeper on two fronts, from the legal side and then also the confidential arm with firm related matters.  This role will require someone to manage his day-to-day activities and keep up with him at all times, anticipate his every need, second guess his thoughts and stay one step ahead.  Full involvement is guaranteed; you will need to organise his complex diary and travel arrangements including accommodation and produce detailed itineraries.  The role will involve an extremely high level of confidentiality and integrity, so candidates should be able to act with tact and discretion.  Applicants need a flexible and adaptable attitude and thorough approach to work with the tenacity and strong execution skills to follow tasks/projects through to completion and/or positive resolution.  Previous senior legal PA experience is essential, ideally in a role where you have managed a Managing Partner, Board Member or similar.  This role will include a high-level of accountability so candidates will need to be happy working in a pressured and fast-paced environment.
