Job Description
Role overview 
Believe it or not, behind every successful Senior Manager, there is a Personal Assistant (PA) closely guarding the actions the Senior Manager takes. This individual is rarely the center of attention, but they play a very important role in the company.  It is the job of the Senior Manager Assistant to make sure that everything runs smoothly for the Senior Manager.
The PA is an individual who wields a great deal of power as the right hand to the Senior Managers he/she reports to.  The PA not only must gain the trust of the Senior Managers, but it is the PA’s job to anticipate the mood and frustrations of the Senior Managers to make sure things do not get out of hand. The PA must also schedule and coordinate meetings, making sure everything is in place so that the Senior Managers can do their part without being blindsided by some unforeseen difficulty.
This means an assistant must always be on their toes, planning for every contingency to achieve what their Senior Managers outline as the desired outcomes of their engagements.
Therefore, we are looking for an energetic and dynamic PA who appreciates the dynamics and fast pace of a financial services distribution business, someone with a desire to excel in what they do, and who enjoys navigating challenging and complex issues through highly refined interpersonal and influencing skills.
You will be responsible to provide secretarial support to the Head of Wealth, as well as his reporting managers.
