Executive Assistant

Bilingual Executive Assistant

A well-established French Private Equity firm

Paris

We have an amazing new opportunity at a Paris-based Private Equity firm which also has an office in London and works on a global scale. The company is looking for an experienced Assistant to support three Managing Partners and help out with a range of other aspects of the business. Fluent French and English is essential for this role as the office works closely with its British counterpart and uses English on a daily basis in the office.

The role:

Although the role is mostly a classic Executive Assistant position, you would also be helping with some HR and IT matters temporarily while another Executive Assistant is on maternity leave; because of this, some experience with HR is preferable.

Your duties would include:

–          Managing two complex diaries

–          Organising international travel – mostly within Europe

–          Inbox management

–          Prioritising and juggling many tasks at once

–          Ad hoc administrative duties

–          Helping with IT issues e.g. coordinating with service providers and ordering equipment

–          Handling HR matters e.g. coordinating onboarding, performance reviews, and interviews

The candidate:

The ideal candidate for this role would have experience as an Executive Assistant in professional services, ideally within finance. The team is really looking for a flexible and positive individual who is willing to be hands-on and help out when needed. Being a team-player is another important quality to have, as well as being proactive and being able to anticipate the needs of the team.

You should have the following skills:

–          Fluent French and English

–          Executive Assistant experience in professional services

–          Some knowledge of HR and IT

–          Good communication skills

–          Excellent organisational skills

–          Being able to work as part of a team

The benefits:

The company offers a great benefits package and has a really positive work environment.

Some of these benefits include:

–          Target bonus

–          1 day work from home

–          26 days holiday with RTT

–          Team drinks

–          Team events and holidays
