My client has a great opportunity to be one of their Executive Support Assistants to support 3 of
their Executive Directors to use their time efficiently, provide accurate, confidential, and
proactive secretarial and organisational support.

They're looking for you to proactively manage the diary, meeting requests, external visits and
speaking engagements and ensure schedules are organised and run smoothly. You'll be
proactively forward planning their diaries and overall workload, highlighting potential issues
and pinch-points and suggesting/drafting solutions. Through continual horizon-scanning of
the diary ensure Directors have appropriate planning and preparation time including co-
ordination of any required pre meetings and briefings.

You'll be setting up effective systems to ensure meeting and committee papers, performance
reviews, training and other key pieces of work are received within the required time frames,
along with adherence to all relevant regulatory rules and guidance applicable to the role,
along with collation of and logging of all records including regulatory documentation. Also,
where required, you'll provide secretariat support at directorate level meetings.

They're looking for you to manage all customer, MP and wider stakeholder correspondence
which is received via the executive and liaise with relevant teams and managers to ensure
this correspondence is responded to effectively. This may involve the need to talk directly to
customers and other stakeholders too.

You'll be coordinating their travel and accommodation arrangements ensuring sensible use
of time and production of detailed and accurate travel itineraries. As part of a team providing
Executive Support, cover for and assist other Executive Support Assistants with tasks such
as Board papers, general office administrative systems and a focus on continuous
improvement at times of high workload or personal leave.

About you

deadlines, along with interpreting needs and creating effective presentations. You'll have
proven excellent written and verbal communication skills, along with organisational and
administrative skills with a keen eye for detail.
