Senior Executive Assistant to the CEO

An outstanding opportunity has arisen for an experienced Executive Assistant to support the CEO of a highly regarded law firm.

This is far more than a traditional EA role. You'll become a trusted business partner to the CEO, acting as an extension of their office and playing a key role in keeping priorities on track, driving efficiency and ensuring the smooth running of a busy and ever-changing schedule.

You'll be someone who thrives on being one step ahead, enjoys building strong relationships and is confident operating at the most senior level within a fast-paced professional services environment.

Key Responsibilities

  • Managing an exceptionally busy and ever-changing diary and inbox.
  • Coordinating complex UK and international travel, meetings and events.
  • Overseeing time recording, billing and financial administration.
  • Managing client matter opening and ensuring accurate file management.
  • Acting as a key point of contact for senior stakeholders, clients and external contacts.
  • Anticipating the CEO's needs, identifying potential challenges and resolving issues before they arise.
  • Building a strong understanding of business priorities and maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality and professionalism.

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.
