* Agile PA Support: Respond to and manage "tickets" and requests from multiple senior members, ensuring high-priority tasks are addressed efficiently.
* Strategic Diary Management: Proactively manage complex calendars, deciding which meetings take strategic precedence and liaising with other Executive PAs.
* High-Level Documentation: Build and produce meeting agendas, briefing papers, and professional PowerPoint presentations for strategy meetings.
* Communication Management: Screen and manage verbal and written communications for executive members, acting as a professional gatekeeper.
* Logistics & Events: Arrange travel, accommodation, and venue bookings; provide on-site support for corporate roadshows and engagement events.
* Operational Administration: Support budget management, process expense claims, and manage the administrative setup for new starters and leavers.
What Our Client is Looking For
Our client requires a proactive professional who can remain calm under pressure and use their initiative to solve problems before they escalate.
Technical & Professional Requirements:
* Proven Experience: Significant experience working at Senior Management or Executive level, ideally within a rapidly changing corporate environment.
* Technical Proficiency: Extensive skills in MS Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and Outlook. Experience using Copilot to drive efficiencies is highly desirable.
* Communication Excellence: Exceptional verbal and written skills with the ability to adapt your tone for different audiences.
* Organisational Mastery: The ability to handle multiple conflicting priorities and manage the expectations of senior stakeholders.
* Discretion: A proven track record of handling business-sensitive and confidential information with total reliability.
