About

The Role

We’re looking for a highly proactive and confident Personal Assistant to support two senior global leaders: the Global Director of Product Business Development and the Global Director of Marketing
, both based in London and operating in a fast‑paced, international environment.

This is a varied and high‑trust role where you’ll be at the centre of complex global operations. You’ll act as a true partner to both Directors, anticipating needs, managing priorities, and ensuring their time is used effectively across multiple time zones.

In This Role You Will
  • Provide end‑to‑end PA and administrative support across two busy global portfolios
  • Proactively manage complex diaries and inboxes, acting as a gatekeeper where needed
  • Coordinate internal and external meetings across multiple time zones
  • Organise all travel and logistics, including itineraries, visas and meeting schedules
  • Build strong, trusted relationships to enable autonomy and seamless support
  • Act as a key point of contact for senior stakeholders across the global business
  • Use initiative to identify tasks you can own, streamline processes and improve ways of working
  • Work closely with other senior PAs to share workload and provide cover when required

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced PA who thrives on responsibility, enjoys working at pace, and takes pride in delivering an exceptional, stakeholder‑focused service.

What We're Ideally Looking For

You’ll be a confident, organised and resilient PA who is comfortable supporting senior leaders and navigating competing priorities with discretion and professionalism.

Ideally, You’ll Bring
  • At least 3 years’ experience supporting senior leaders in a PA, EA or secretarial role
  • Proven experience managing complex diaries, inboxes and global meeting schedules
  • Strong organisational skills, with the ability to anticipate needs and work proactively
  • Confidence communicating with senior stakeholders at all levels
  • Excellent attention to detail and a high level of confidentiality and integrity
  • Advanced skills in Outlook, Word, Excel and Power Point
  • A calm, flexible and resilient approach, with the ability to perform well under pressure
  • A collaborative mindset and willingness to support wider PA networks
  • An interest in improving processes and embracing new technology and AI tools

This role would suit someone who enjoys being trusted, values professional excellence, and thrives in a collaborative, global environment where no two days are the same.

What’s On Offer

This role is based at the Linklaters London office with a hybrid working model available.
