Sales Support Administrator
Business Support Executive | Global Executive Search | London | Up to £35k
Our client is a globally recognised, boutique executive search firm specialising in retained mandates—ranging from board-level placements to senior leadership roles. They collaborate with leading organisations to identify and secure transformational talent, leveraging a reputation built on precision, discretion, and deep market expertise.
About the Role
This is not a traditional Executive Assistant or Office Manager role. As a Business Support Executive, you'll serve as the operational backbone for a team of Partners and Associates managing high-value, senior-level retained mandates. Your core responsibility is to elevate every client and candidate interaction—spanning executive briefings, seamless cross-time-zone coordination, and polished deliverables.
Key duties include:
- Ensuring client-facing materials (e.g., pitch decks, presentations) are high-quality, on-brand, and flawlessly executed
- Managing complex schedules, travel logistics, and international stakeholder coordination
- Serving as the primary liaison between clients, candidates, and the search team
- Ownership of client and candidate experience for long-term relationships
- Driving operational improvements by identifying and implementing third-party platforms and tools
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.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Day-to-Day Responsibilities
- Calendar & Travel Coordination: Manage internal/external calendars, scheduling, and international travel logistics

- Client-Facing Representation: Work with building management and ensure compliance with operational policies
The Ideal Candidate
- Background in marketing, business support, operations, or executive searchaniemcourse (preferably in professional services, financial services, or search)

- Commercial instincts and polished communication skills reflective of the firm’s elite clients and relationships
- Proactive problem-solver with a discretion-first mindset in a high-stakes, fast-moving environment
