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.

- 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 workstreams and ensuring follow-up.
- Identifying more efficient ways of working and helping the wider team run smoothly.
About You
- 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.
What's on Offer
£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.
