Are you the kind of person who thrives on keeping everything (and everyone) running smoothly? Do you love being the trusted go-to partner who enables leaders to perform at their best?  

If you’re looking for a high-impact position that puts you at the heart of a fast-paced organisation, this could be the perfect next step. 

As an Executive Personal Assistant, you’ll provide proactive, professional and confidential support at the highest level—ensuring our leaders are fully equipped, well-prepared and able to focus where it matters most. 

What will you be doing 

The role requires proactively managing a highly demanding and fast-moving diary, along with complex travel logistics, meeting schedules and shifting priorities. You will deliver comprehensive and confidential administrative support to senior leaders, including managing email correspondence, coordinating responses, preparing briefing materials and ensuring all parties are fully prepared for upcoming deadlines. You’ll be trusted to maintain documentation, handle sensitive information discreetly and act as a reliable point of contact for internal teams, regulators and external partners. 

You will also contribute to wider organisational activities by supporting leadership projects, assisting with cross-cover within the PA team and ensuring continuity in the absence of key individuals. This includes preparing agendas, minutes and action plans, following up on decisions, delegating tasks where appropriate and providing flexible support to meet the needs of the Executive and Leadership team.
