Executive Assistant – Corporate Affairs
£45,000 | City of London | 2 Days in Office | 9am–5pm
We’re recruiting an Executive Assistant to join a leading financial services membership organisation in the City, supporting the Managing Director and wider Director team within Corporate Affairs.
This is a varied EA role offering much more than diary management. You’ll be closely involved in the day-to-day running of the team, with exposure to senior stakeholders, high-level meetings, governance and committees, projects and wider Corporate Affairs activity.
It would suit an EA who enjoys being trusted to take ownership, anticipate what’s needed and keep a busy senior team organised and one step ahead.
The Role
- Managing senior diaries, proactively resolving clashes and changing priorities.
- Coordinating high-level meetings, ensuring papers, attendees, rooms and logistics are organised.
- Preparing and distributing agendas, papers and supporting documentation.
- Supporting governance and committee activity, including schedules, membership records and meeting preparation.
- Acting as a key point of contact for senior colleagues, members and external stakeholders.
- Arranging travel and accommodation when required.
- Managing expenses, purchase orders, invoices and departmental spend.
- Supporting projects, internal communications, recruitment activity and corporate events.
- Taking minutes and actions for ad hoc workstreams and ensuring follow-up.
- Identifying more efficient ways of working and helping the wider team run smoothly.
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.
