Senior PA for a Boutique Finance Company
04.04.13
Are you ambitious and high energy? Senior PA with recruitment.

Would you like to work as a PA with extra responsibilities for a wonderful boutique finance company in the heart of Mayfair ?

This is a brilliant opportunity working for a great employer with a real family feel. The office, which is busy but can be quiet at times, comprises of 50 people and has a friendly, supportive and team-focused environment. The company has been established for 10 years, and many staff have been there from the beginning showing how much they value and look after their employees. They are enjoying particularly strong growth at the moment, with exciting expansion plans for 2013 so this is a great time to come on board! The team is growing quickly so you will need to be able to cope in a changeable environment and juggle several balls at once.

Working for 4 MDs, your role will involve complex diary and ever changing international travel arrangements mainly, as well as all the documentation support and liaison that goes along with this. One Director will require more support than the others and will be your priority – he is disorganised, travels out of the office 80% of the time and is forever changing his plans so a robust approach is essential. All the guys are charming though and are looking forward to you coming to join their team as they are super busy and have never had a PA before. Other duties will be classic support duties i.e. expenses, teas and coffees, PP presentations etc.

The other side of the role will be supporting the HR with heavy recruitment plans, including arranging interviews, tracking candidates, and actually potentially running the inductions yourself, as well as ad hoc PR / event support. This recruitment function could take up to 50% of your time – attention to detail and a flair for logistical planning is paramount!

This is a new role which you will be able to grow. They want someone ambitious and hungry to take on more responsibility – for the right candidate the opportunities for career growth here are endless. There are two board level PAs in the office too, as well as a junior receptionist. Incredible opportunity!
