Job Description

You'll run a busy executive's diary, travel and paperwork at a litigation law firm in Midrand. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.
Arrange events, client lunches and year-end functions.
Keep a tidy filing system, both digital and on paper.
Take minutes at board and exco meetings and track action items.
Coordinate with other PAs to find meeting slots across diaries.

Must-haves

Matric plus a secretarial, office admin or PA diploma
Discreet with board, salary and legal information
Calm when plans change at the last minute
Available for the odd early start or late finish

What you get

Parking in a secure basement
Medical aid and provident fund
Hybrid days once settled in
