Job Description

You'll run a busy executive's diary, travel and paperwork at a mining head office in Pretoria West. You don't need to be the loudest person in the room, just the one others can count on.

You'll be based at a mining head office in Pretoria West. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps.

The work, day to day

  • Keep sensitive files locked and access limited to those who need it.
  • Book local and international travel, visas and accommodation.
  • Type court papers and manage trial dates for litigation roles.
  • Draft letters, reports and presentations in the house style.
  • Screen calls and emails and deal with what does not need the boss.
  • Manage one or two diaries in Outlook and protect focus time.

What you need

  • 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
  • Advanced Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook

Helpful, not essential

  • SAP Concur or similar expense tools
  • Afrikaans or another second language for client work
  • Minute-taking or company secretarial training

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  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: two references from executives you worked for, a CV naming the level of executives you supported plus your PA or secretarial qualification.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 working days.
