Overview

Global Administration — Executive Assistant

Job ID: 101496

Your Impact

Our Executive Assistants (EAs) are expected to be creative problem solvers for the Senior Partner and/or Partner whom they support. In this role, you will collaborate with your Partners to optimize their time, build trust-based relationships within their network, and deliver high-quality end products.

The Partners' network includes clients, teams, practices, and internal colleagues. You will build ongoing rapport with your Partners, their clients and client assistants, internal colleagues, your EA team, and other EAs globally. You will act as an informed Chief of Staff/representative for the Partners when interacting with clients, internal and external customers, while maintaining the confidentiality of highly sensitive information.

This role involves organizing, strategically managing, and maintaining detailed and complex calendars for Senior Partners and other team members. Responsibilities include planning and coordinating client and internal meetings, conference calls, conferences, events, and meals, as well as sending out reminders. You will also coordinate complex international and local travel arrangements, manage travel logistics, and accommodate individual preferences.

Additional duties include tracking and managing all incoming communications, responding to correspondence that does not require the personal attention of the Partner, and planning, organizing, and executing projects with minimal guidance. These projects often involve coordinating schedules for senior leadership participants.

Acting as an informed deputy, you will interact with clients and other key stakeholders whose goodwill and respect are critical to the Partners and the firm, while fostering strong relationships with clients and their administrative contacts. Collaboration with Executive Assistant Managers and department members is essential to ensure smooth workflow, timely actions, and adherence to deadlines.

The role also includes organizing and maintaining all client and internal files using the firm’s authorized system, providing backup coverage as needed, and coordinating events for internal and external initiatives. Additional responsibilities include preparing and submitting timesheets and expenses by deadlines, managing and monitoring client accounting statements and invoices upon request, and handling miscellaneous tasks such as printing, copying, mailing, and other duties as assigned.
