  • Complex diary and travel management
  • Meeting preparation and coordination
  • Handling sensitive communications and documentation
  • Supporting governance and stakeholder engagement
  • Contributing to internal communications and special projects
You’ll also collaborate with other Executive Assistants and directors, ensuring the wider leadership team is consistently supported to perform at its best.

  • 2–4 years’ experience in executive support, project coordination, or senior administration
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Strong organisational and problem-solving abilities

  • Collaborative, reliable, and adaptable
  • A confident communicator with political awareness
  • Detail-oriented and proactive

Why Join Us?
