The Person:

  • 5 + years proven PA experience, ideally supporting at Director or Partner level
  • Experience working with remote or hybrid teams
  • Strong IT skills, particularly Microsoft Office and Outlook
  • Excellent organisational and prioritisation skills
  • A proactive approach with the ability to use initiative
  • Well-developed written and verbal communication skills
