Trust is imperative: the client needs to be able to trust the EA to take on this role and to provide them with the support they need – to bring solutions and ideas, to show initiative and make suggestions, confident that their EA has their backs in organising their working day, keeping projects moving forward, and taking decisive actions where required.

- Ad-hoc project management and administrative support – working on numerous tasks concurrently, thinking strategically, establishing priorities and deadlines, managing and coordinating various projects and maintaining diplomacy and discretion with sensitive information at all times
- Business development – maintaining and updating the prospective client database, executing, and managing client correspondence, compiling email lists and regularly recording updates/feedback
- Database management – maintaining all client-related databases, including MailChimp (preparing mailout lists and executing announcements)
- Financial reporting and preparation – supporting the Executive Director in a range of financial reporting matters, including preparing reports
- Managing and maintaining the social media presence on the client’s Facebook and LinkedIn
- Office Management – developing and maintaining all administrative and operational procedures, ensuring efficiency in the firm’s day-to-day operations and introducing new protocols, with responsibility for office equipment/facilities management
- Managing records and archives
- Ordering stationery and controlling stock
- Managing staff requirements – systems support, conducting staff induction and training for new employees
- Acting as key interface for the team within the firm, with clients, contractors and suppliers
- Managing incoming calls, emails, and correspondence, proactively following up on pending matters
- Undertaking personal tasks for the Executive Director, as required
- Performing other administrative support tasks
- Contributing to the team effort
