Job Description

You'll run a busy executive's diary, travel and paperwork at a private equity office in Epping. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

The site is in Epping; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

What you'll actually do

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

Must-haves

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

Extra points for

  • SAP Concur or similar expense tools
  • Minute-taking or company secretarial training

What you get

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