A leading luxury property business is looking for an experienced and proactive Executive Assistant to join their friendly office on an 11-month maternity cover contract. This Executive Assistant maternity cover role is a fantastic opportunity for a confident, organised professional who enjoys a busy, office-based role.
Working closely with the owner, the successful candidate will provide a mix of business and private support, office coordination and property administration. There will be a handover period with the current Executive Assistant, giving time to learn priorities, working style, key contacts and regular commitments.
Ideally, you will have PA or EA experience supporting a Founder, Owner, CEO or similarly senior individual. A background in luxury, property, private office, family office or UHNW environments would be a real advantage, although it is not essential. Above all, we are looking for someone calm, flexible and polished who stays two steps ahead and takes ownership of tasks from start to finish.
Candidates will need strong organisational and communication skills, the confidence to juggle several priorities in a fast-paced setting, and a good head for IT. If you are an experienced EA looking for a rewarding maternity cover contract, we would love to hear from you.
