Meraki Talent Partners with Edinburgh Client for Executive Assistant

Meraki Talent are partnering with a growing Edinburgh client who are looking for an experienced and highly organised Executive Assistant to provide first-class support to a busy team function.

This is a varied and high-impact role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys working with people, and takes pride in keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. You will act as a central point of coordination for the team, ensuring diaries, meetings, communications and day-to-day administration are managed efficiently and professionally.

You will work closely with senior stakeholders and team members at all levels, building strong relationships and anticipating needs before they arise.

Key Responsibilities

  • Provide comprehensive EA and administrative support to a growing team.
  • Manage complex and sometimes competing diaries, organising meetings, appointments and commitments.
  • Coordinate internal and external meetings, including room bookings, agendas, papers and follow-up actions.
  • Arrange domestic and international travel, including itineraries, accommodation and expenses.
  • Prepare presentations, reports, documents and correspondence to a high standard.
  • Organise team events, away days and other activities.
  • Support the smooth running of team processes and day-to-day operations.
  • Manage confidential and sensitive information with discretion.
  • Monitor deadlines, actions and priorities.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
