Job Details

This is a fantastic opportunity for an enthusiastic Executive Assistant looking to apply their existing experience and develop their career. This is a fast-paced role requiring a positive, confident and proactive approach for someone who can work productively in a pressurised environment.

You will be the main point of contact for the team, answering all calls in a professional and timely manner, passing on messages to the team. You will utilise your extensive diary management experience, including arranging both internal and external meetings, video conferences, WebEx meetings and conference calls, often across different time-zones.

Furthermore, you will be skilled at booking and coordinating complex business travel, visas, accommodation and department meetings and events. Additionally, you will be required to complete out-of-pocket expense claims, manage print room tasks and gather documents for meetings.

Additional administrative tasks will include processing invoices, assisting with PowerPoint presentations and documentation management including formatting, printing, binding and scanning, along with any additional ad-hoc team requests. We are also a highly collaborative workforce, so you may be expected to cover for other Executive Assistants if required.

 

To flourish in this role, you will come equipped with a proven track record in providing Executive Assistant support, ideally having supported large teams within a Financial Services or Professional Services firm. You will be highly organised with a proactive approach, with the ability to plan and prioritise a busy workload, meeting deadlines effectively.

You will also possess comprehensive PC skills, including intermediate Word, Outlook, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as outstanding organisational skills with an excellent eye for detail. Finally, communication is key in this role, so you will have excellent verbal and written skills with the ability to exercise appropriate judgment and discretion, especially when handling confidential information and working with various personality types.

If you are ready to take on a new role in a busy team, we look forward to hearing from you.

Working at Macquarie

We believe in providing a positive environment for all our staff that is innovative and inspiring. For our female staff, Macquarie’s senior leaders are actively involved in increasing the representation of females in management positions.  In June 2014, we launched a mentoring programme for females, with the following two objectives:

  • Address female retention rates at Senior Manager level and improve our diverse pipeline of talent;
  • Engage female Senior Managers by providing tools and support around their personal development;

The programme pairs up Senior Managers with Directors, who meet on a monthly basis, and are supported by active group sessions (bi-monthly) with an external facilitator.

We select some of the brightest minds to help us in solving complex challenges for our clients.  We recognise that recruiting talent from varied backgrounds is essential to improving our understanding of the marketplace, and enhancing creativity and problem-solving capabilities in our businesses.

Because of this, our commitment to you is to create a diverse and inclusive workplace regardless of age, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity or cultural background.

We make this commitment not only because it is the right thing to do but it opens up a world of opportunity, securing the future of our people, our success and our business
