Executive Assistant

Are you a highly proactive, structured, and solutions‑oriented professional who thrives in a fast‑paced executive environment? We are looking for an Executive Assistant to support our three Executive Vice Presidents (within P&C, Digital & Transformation and Strategy & Execution), ensuring seamless coordination, reliable execution, and high‑quality administrative support across their daily responsibilities.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working with senior stakeholders, communicates clearly and confidently, and takes pride in staying one step ahead.

What will be your key responsibilities?

• Travel coordination — planning and managing end‑to‑end travel arrangements
• Meeting follow‑ups — tracking actions and commitments from a practical/administrative perspective
• Expense management — handling submissions, tracking, and documentation
• Ad hoc support — including Annual & Mid‑Year Review coordination, meeting planning, collecting team inputs, and similar operational tasks

How You Work?

Success in this role requires a strong sense of ownership, exceptional structure, and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise. You naturally bring clarity, consistency, and calm to busy executive schedules.

• High proactivity — anticipating needs and staying ahead of upcoming demands
• Ownership — taking full responsibility from start to finish
• Problem‑solving mindset — identifying issues early and resolving them with minimal guidance
• Structured & detail‑oriented — ensuring accuracy and consistency in all tasks
• Efficiency‑focused — continuously improving processes and ways of working
• Reliable execution — ensuring nothing falls through the cracks
• Discretion & confidentiality — handling sensitive information with professionalism and trust

 

Who Are You?

You are a calm, organised, and service‑minded professional who enjoys supporting senior leaders and ensuring their day runs smoothly. You communicate clearly, manage many moving parts at once, and always maintain a high level of discretion. Most importantly, you take pride in delivering high‑quality support that enables executives to focus on strategic priorities.
