  • Acting to support aims and objectives, proactively anticipating issues and acting on behalf of the MD
  • Supporting the MD in personal tasks, including booking travel, tickets, entertainment, and personal hobbies
  • Highlighting issues that need immediate attention, responding to requests, consulting, and advising as well as delegating as appropriate
  • Working collaboratively, compassionately, and empathetically to establish and maintain good working relationships with the senior leadership team and across the wider business
  • Supporting senior-level meetings as required, occasionally attending meetings and acting on behalf of the MD
  • Supporting other members of senior management with diary management
  • Acting as a primary point of contact

  • Able to demonstrate resilience, patience, professionalism, and pragmatism
  • Be cost-conscious and never spend money unnecessarily
  • Good working knowledge of hospitality options in York and London
