Executive Assistant to 2 Consultants | International Executive Search Firm | London
Salary: £55,000 + Generous Bonus & Benefits
Hybrid: 3 Days Office / 2 Days WFH
The Company
Our client is an international executive search firm with an outstanding reputation in the market; internationally credible, consistently outperforming targets, and known for retaining their people. Benefits include free daily lunches, and bonuses that are consistently regarded as more generous than competitors'. This is a business where people build long careers, a genuine reflection of the culture and calibre of leadership.
The Role
The Executive Assistant is critical to the firm's success and essential to a consultant's ability to service clients. You'll work in a demanding, deadline-driven search environment, supporting two ambitious, high-performing Consultants in a busy 1:2 capacity, ideally bringing prior exposure to executive search or a similarly fast-paced professional services setting, so you understand the pace and precision required from day one.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
