• Anticipate the Consultants’ business and assignment needs, taking a proactive approach to ensure they operate at full potential
• Coordinate international diaries and travel, alongside client/candidate interviews, calls, and video conferences
• Use research tools to extract relevant information for company presentations
• Take full accountability and responsibility for assignment administration
• Support colleagues with a “can do” attitude, providing cover for other Executive Assistants when needed

About You
