What you'll do:

Manage complex and fast-moving diaries ensuring meetings are well coordinated, prioritised and prepared for effectively.

Coordinate internal and external meetings, including senior leadership sessions, client meetings, board-level engagements and key business forums.

Handle high volumes of communication with professionalism and discretion, prioritising responses and escalating urgent or sensitive matters where appropriate.

Significant experience as an Executive Assistant or Senior Personal Assistant, ideally supporting C-suite or senior leadership in a fast-paced, complex environment.

Excellent organisational skills, with the ability to manage multiple priorities, anticipate needs and deliver work with accuracy and pace.

Complete discretion and sound judgement when handling confidential, commercially sensitive or personal information.

Strong communication skills, with the confidence to engage effectively with colleagues, clients and stakeholders at every level.

A proactive, positive and can-do approach, with the ability to stay calm, flexible and solutions-focused under pressure.

Strong attention to detail, combined with the ability to understand the bigger picture and operate with professionalism and maturity.

Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office, including Outlook, PowerPoint, Word and Excel.

Experience or confidence working with social media platforms would be advantageous.

Confident working with AI tools and digital resources to enhance productivity, streamline ways of working and support high-quality, efficient delivery.
