Join a Fast-Growing Property Development Business
The iLiving Group is an ambitious property investment, development and asset management company delivering residential and mixed-use developments across the UK.
As our business continues to grow, we’re looking for an exceptional Personal Assistant & Project Coordinator to work directly with our CEO.
This is far more than a traditional PA role.
You’ll become the CEO’s trusted right hand, helping coordinate projects, organise priorities, keep the business moving and ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
If you love organisation, enjoy solving problems, and take pride in keeping people accountable, we’d love to hear from you.
About the Role
You’ll support the CEO across a wide variety of business activities, from diary management and meeting preparation through to coordinating development projects, monitoring team progress and ensuring actions are completed.
No two days are the same.
One day you may be organising investor meetings, the next coordinating consultants on a development project, preparing reports for management meetings or following up with the team to ensure deadlines are met.
You’ll become the central point of coordination across the business.
Personal Assistant Support
- Manage the CEO’s diary, appointments and meetings.
- Prioritise emails and correspondence.
- Prepare meeting agendas and take clear action notes.
- Track actions arising from meetings and ensure they are completed.
- Organise travel, accommodation and business events.
- Prepare presentations, reports and business documents.
- Assist with confidential business matters.
Project Coordination
Support the delivery of projects across the business by:
- Maintaining project plans and trackers.
- Monitoring progress against deadlines.
- Chasing outstanding actions.
- Coordinating communication between internal teams and external consultants.
- Escalating risks or delays to the CEO.
- Producing regular project updates.
- Ensure the CEO has accurate, organised information for weekly and monthly reporting.
- Collate information into concise management reports and dashboards.
- Review reports for completeness and consistency before they reach the CEO.
- Chase outstanding reports and actions.
- Develop and maintain standard reporting templates.
- Ensure department managers and external consultants submit reports in an agreed format and on time.
