Executive Assistant

A global financial advisory firm

Paris

One of our clients, an international financial advisory firm who is the leading company in their field, is expanding its Paris office and is looking for an Executive Assistant to support a senior sales associate who has recently joined their team as well as assist in general office duties. This is a really exciting opportunity to join a growing office which is part of a global company and is already going from strength to strength.

We are working exclusively with this client on filling this role and we have already placed an Executive Assistant in their Paris office who is greatly enjoying the culture and flexibility there. The office is a very international environment, not only because the team is multilingual and multicultural, but also due to the fact that there are regular interactions with other offices around the world. Being able to speak French and English fluently is very important for this role, as well as being an open-minded person who is willing to take on a variety of tasks.

The role:

The position is an Executive Assistant role supporting a senior member of the team; however, you would also have other responsibilities, including assisting the office manager when needed. There is also the potential to support another senior member of the team further down the line as the team grows.

–          Working with the other assistants to ensure the smooth running of the office

The candidate:

The ideal candidate for this position would work well in a fast-paced environment and be good at prioritising. Since the office is still on the smaller side, it’s important to be a team player and be flexible enough to help out and take on ad hoc tasks on occasion. This would be a great opportunity for someone with an interest in business or sales as there is potential to progress into a sales assistant role in the future.

You should also have the following attributes:
