At the City of London Corporation, our work underpins services, investments and priorities that benefit the Square Mile, London and beyond. To help deliver this, we are seeking an outstanding Executive Assistant to support our Financial Services Director.

This is a varied and rewarding role at the heart of the Chamberlain’s Department. Acting as a trusted partner to the Financial Services Director, you will provide high-quality executive support, manage a complex and demanding diary, coordinate high-profile meetings and ensure the smooth operation of day-to-day business.
