Mandatory Requirements

  1. Proactive: Proactivity is essential because an expert Executive Assistant needs to anticipate the needs of their executive and the organisation as a whole. They should not wait for instructions but should take the initiative to identify potential issues, streamline processes, and offer solutions. Being proactive also means staying ahead of deadlines and handling tasks before they become urgent.
  2. Resourceful: Resourcefulness is crucial for an Executive Assistant because they often have to work with limited resources, whether it's time, budget, or personnel. They should be skilled at finding creative solutions to problems, making the most of available resources, and thinking outside the box. This trait allows them to handle unexpected challenges effectively and efficiently.
  3. Adaptable: The business environment is constantly changing, and an expert Executive Assistant must be adaptable to navigate these shifts successfully. They should be open to learning new tools and technologies, adjusting to different working styles, and accommodating shifting priorities. Adaptability ensures that they can support their executive in an ever-evolving landscape.
  4. Tenacious: Tenacity is a key trait because an Executive Assistant often faces complex and demanding tasks. They need to persevere through challenges, maintain a positive attitude, and ensure that tasks are completed even when faced with obstacles. Tenacity is particularly valuable when it comes to managing multiple projects and dealing with high-pressure situations.
  5. Collaborative: Collaboration is a fundamental trait for an Executive Assistant because they often serve as a bridge between their executive and various departments within the organization. They need to work closely with colleagues, peers, and external contacts to gather information, coordinate projects, and ensure smooth communication. A collaborative mindset fosters teamwork, enhances efficiency, and helps build strong working relationships, which are essential for the success of both the executive and the organization.

Additionally, for our organization, there are certain tools and proficiencies that are necessary for success. These include:

  • Native or Expert level English Proficiency
  • Tech Savviness: We need our Executive Assistants to be truly digitally native, as there are so many different tools, platforms, and software options we use for our various clients. Slow typing or an inability to adapt to new platforms could cause serious delay.
  • ClickUp or other Project Management tools
  • Google Calendar
  • Nice to Have’s: Expense reporting or travel management software and/or platforms
