Executive PA (Private Equity)

You'll run a busy executive's diary, travel and paperwork at an architecture practice in Bellville. If you turn up on time and finish what you start, you'll fit in quickly.

This post is Bellville-based, with most of your time spent at an architecture practice.

• Book local and international travel, visas and accommodation.
• Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.
• Draft letters, reports and presentations in the house style.
• Arrange events, client lunches and year-end functions.
• Prepare expense claims and reconcile the company credit card.
• Manage one or two diaries in Outlook and protect focus time.
• Type court papers and manage trial dates for litigation roles.

• Excellent written English and polished emails
• Discreet with board, salary and legal information
• Calm when plans change at the last minute
• At least 4 years supporting a senior manager or director
• Available for the odd early start or late finish
• Advanced Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook

• Legal secretary experience with court processes
• Afrikaans or another second language for client work
• SAP Concur or similar expense tools

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

• State whom you supported (for example "PA to the MD of a 300-person firm") in each job heading.
• Mention a problem you solved before your boss knew about it; that story wins PA interviews.
