Job Description

This private equity office in George needs an assistant who thinks two steps ahead. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

This post is George-based, with most of your time spent at a private equity office. You'll start with a short induction before working on your own.

What your day looks like

  • Book local and international travel, visas and accommodation.
  • Draft letters, reports and presentations in the house style.
  • Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.
  • Manage one or two diaries in Outlook and protect focus time.
  • Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.

You'll need

  • Advanced Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook
  • Available for the odd early start or late finish
  • Discreet with board, salary and legal information
  • At least 4 years supporting a senior manager or director

Nice if you have

  • SAP Concur or similar expense tools
  • A driver's licence for errands
  • Minute-taking or company secretarial training

What you get

  • Hybrid days once settled in
  • Medical aid and provident fund
  • 13th cheque and performance bonus
  • Parking in a secure basement

How to apply for this job

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: a recently certified ID copy (within 3 months), your PA or secretarial qualification plus a CV naming the level of executives you supported.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 9 working days.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Expect practical tests on Word formatting, Excel and minute-taking, so brush up on styles and tables first.
  • Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
