Executive Assistant (Mining House)

You'll run a busy executive's diary, travel and paperwork at a private equity office in Germiston. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

This post is Germiston-based, with most of your time spent at a private equity office.

• Take minutes at board and exco meetings and track action items.
• Book local and international travel, visas and accommodation.
• Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.
• Type court papers and manage trial dates for litigation roles.
• Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.
• Screen calls and emails and deal with what does not need the boss.

• Matric plus a secretarial, office admin or PA diploma
• Discreet with board, salary and legal information
• At least 4 years supporting a senior manager or director
• Available for the odd early start or late finish
• Calm when plans change at the last minute

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

• 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.
