Two busy directors of this professional services company are crying out to have their working lives organized and are looking for an intelligent, skilled and professional PA to take them in hand.
This is one of those roles that dont come along that often. An interesting work load, high level of trust, autonomy (these directors are very hands off) and recognition that your skills are genuinely valued. The more aptitude and desire to learn you show, the more opportunity you will get.
Key tasks include:
Keeping a close eye on the directors calendars
Being aware of and anticipating potential hiccups
Organizing events ( both large and small)
Planning travel arrangements within NZ and Australia
Reviewing suppliers and processes
Problem solving and making recommendations
Understanding that how things look, does matter
The business has time critical deadlines and on occasion everyone needs to muck into get the job done. Not a role for prima donnas who believe in narrow job descriptions, were looking for candidates who are down to earth, unflappable and who are willing to get their hands dirty when required.
To have the skills and experience we need for this role, you have probably been a PA in the past and have already have a high level of skill with the MS office suite. Youll be assertive (but not aggressive) and will be happy to provide additional support to the total team when necessary.
In discussion, one of the directors told me, we need someone to think in our shoes.This sums it up pretty well.
Its that pride you take in supporting and enabling the business owners. Its that intuitive knowing when a bit of extra TLC is required. And youll understand the odd bit of terseness when people are stressed and under pressure.
This is a great place to work and offers a secure and long term future.Please apply on line to Jill Armstrong with cv and covering letter outlining what you have to offer this great organization.Please note – due to the holidays, all applications will be responded to after the 9th of January 2012.
