£48,000–£55,000 + bonus & benefits including unlimited holiday policy

Central London | Hybrid: 3 days in office (Mon, Tue, Thu)

We’re working with a high-calibre, global professional services business to find an exceptional Executive Assistant to support a key Fee Earner within their busy Interim practice, alongside light support to two Directors. The role is not a traditional EA role and will operate in a broader sales enablement capacity, acting as the interface between Sales, Finance, and Contracts & Compliance.

This is a fast-paced, commercially focused role in a nimble, growing firm with a genuinely lovely culture. If you enjoy being close to the action, thrive in a client-facing environment, and like making things run better, this could be a brilliant next step.

The Role

You’ll primarily support a senior Interim Fee Earner with additional diary and meeting support to two Directors. While delivery teams manage assignments, this role plays a critical part in keeping everything moving smoothly.

Key responsibilities include:

\n
• Heavy diary, scheduling and meeting coordination
\n
• Supporting the full post-placement administration process: contracts, assessments, references, onboarding, compliance
\n
• Acting as a key point of contact for clients and internal stakeholders
\n
• Providing business development admin support, helping streamline and improve processes
\n
• Managing competing priorities in a high-volume, high-energy interim team (30–40 assignments per month)
\n

There’s real scope to shape and improve how things are done, particularly around BD support and workflow efficiency — perfect for someone who enjoys taking ownership and adding commercial value.

About You

\n
• Background in recruitment (interim, temp, perm or search) is strongly preferred
\n
• Highly organised, confident and professional
\n
• Comfortable working at pace with senior stakeholders and clients
\n
• Commercially minded and solutions-focused
\n
• Enjoys being in a busy, collaborative office environment
\n

The Company

Package & Benefits

\n
• £45,000–£55,000 salary
\n
• Bonus Private healthcare
\n
• Pension
\n
• Unlimited holiday policy
\n
• Hybrid working: 3 days in the office (Mon, Tue, Thu)

This is a fantastic opportunity for a strong EA or senior recruitment administrator who enjoys pace, responsibility and being close to the commercial heartbeat of a business.
