Robert Half are partnering on a unique Executive Assistant opportunity supporting an influential figure in business, philanthropy and social impact.

This role offers the chance to work closely with a globally recognised leader in impact investing and social innovation. Working alongside their Chief of Staff, you'll become a trusted partner responsible for ensuring the smooth running of an international schedule whilst supporting a network of senior leaders, government representatives and high-profile stakeholders.

The Role

This is a traditional Executive Assistant role with a focus on diary management, international travel, stakeholder engagement and executive support.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Managing a complex and ever-changing diary across multiple international time zones
• Coordinating extensive international travel, including flights, accommodation, visas and ground transport
• Managing emails, invitations, correspondence and key communications
• Drafting professional communications on behalf of the principal
• Acting as a key liaison with senior stakeholders, business leaders and VIP contacts
• Preparing documents, meeting materials and briefing packs
• Maintaining contact databases and important records
• Coordinating occasional personal and household-related matters
• Liaising with drivers, suppliers and external service providers
• Providing seamless support with exceptional attention to detail

About You

We're looking for someone who is naturally organised, discreet and proactive, with the confidence to work independently and anticipate needs before they arise.

You'll likely have:

• 2-5+ years' experience as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant or similar support role
• Experience supporting a senior executive, founder, principal or high-profile individual
• Strong diary management and international travel coordination experience
• Excellent written communication skills with the ability to draft polished, professional emails
• Exceptional attention to detail and organisational skills
• A professional, polished and highly discreet approach
• The ability to manage multiple competing priorities with minimal supervision
• Confidence using AI tools such as ChatGPT, Copilot or similar productivity platforms
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset

The Environment

This is a small private office rather than a large corporate environment, making it ideal for someone who enjoys working autonomously and taking ownership of their workload.

You'll be supporting a principal who is widely regarded as respectful, personable and considerate, whilst gaining exposure to an influential global network spanning business, government, philanthropy and social impact. xwzovoh
