London Area, United Kingdom British Horseracing Authority Full time

Contract Type: Full-Time, Permanent

Location: Holborn, London (Hybrid Working Available)

Salary: £63,000 - £70,000

The British Horseracing Authority (BHA) is the governing and regulatory body for horseracing in Great Britain. It is the BHA's role to act for and on behalf of the whole sport, ensuring that the highest standards apply on and away from the racecourse. It is responsible for promoting, and regulating the sport, which is at the heart of a major leisure and entertainment sector, a leading betting product and the focus of an important breeding sector.

This Senior Executive Assistant role will provide professional executive office support in a one-to-one relationship with the Chair, Chief Executive and General Counsel (Company Secretary), and working closely with the Chief of Staff. The role involves dealing confidentially and proactively with a wide range of activities and effectively supporting the Chair, Chief Executive and General Counsel in their roles. In contributing to this broad objective, the Senior Executive Assistant will be a first point of contact (in conjunction with the Chief of Staff) both internally and externally.

The successful candidate will have previous and proven experience of working at Chair and Board level, preferably within a sport's regulatory arena. You will be a confident and assertive individual with excellent inter-personal and communication skills to quickly establish credibility with peers and colleagues. You will be able to connect and collaborate with a range of stakeholders and can build rapport at all levels.

You will have a demonstrable skill set to manage the pressures and demands of a changing organisation, and an ability to challenge the status quo will also be advantageous. Having knowledge and an understanding of British Horseracing and the wider equestrian sector would be desirable.
