Executive Assistant – Corporate Affairs

Executive Assistant - Corporate Affairs

£45,000 | City of London | 2 Days in Office | 9am-5pm

We're recruiting an Executive Assistant to join a leading financial services membership organisation in the City, supporting the Managing Director and wider Director team within Corporate Affairs.

This is a varied EA role offering much more than diary management. You'll be closely involved in the day-to-day running of the team, with exposure to senior stakeholders, high-level meetings, governance and committees, projects and wider Corporate Affairs activity.

It would suit an EA who enjoys being trusted to take ownership, anticipate what's needed and keep a busy senior team organised and one step ahead.

• Managing senior diaries, proactively resolving clashes and changing priorities.
• Coordinating high-level meetings, ensuring papers, attendees, rooms and logistics are organised.
• Preparing and distributing agendas, papers and supporting documentation.
• Supporting governance and committee activity, including schedules, membership records and meeting preparation.
• Acting as a key point of contact for senior colleagues, members and external stakeholders.
• Arranging travel and accommodation when required.
• Managing expenses, purchase orders, invoices and departmental spend.
• Supporting projects, internal communications, recruitment activity and corporate events.
• Taking minutes and actions for ad hoc work streams and ensuring follow-up.
• Identifying more efficient ways of working and helping the wider team run smoothly.

• Previous EA experience supporting senior executives;
  Board-level exposure would be advantageous.
• Strong diary and meeting management skills with the confidence to manage up.
• Highly organised and proactive, with the ability to anticipate priorities rather than wait for direction.
• Comfortable preparing papers and agendas for senior meetings, Boards or governance committees.
• Confident and personable when dealing with senior internal and external stakeholders.
• Excellent attention to detail and discretion with sensitive information.
• Strong Microsoft Office and systems skills.
• Collaborative, approachable and equally comfortable working independentl and taking ownership.

£45,000 salary, excellent benefits, 9am-5pm working hours and a genuine hybrid pattern of just two days per week in the City office.

A strong opportunity for an EA looking for senior-level exposure and interesting, substantive work while retaining a genuinely good work life.
