About Strategic PA Recruitment
Strategic PA Recruitment is an award-winning boutique recruitment consultancy specialising exclusively in the Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Chief of Staff and Business Support profession.
We partner with organisations of all sizes across the UK, from entrepreneurs and founder-led businesses to FTSE-listed organisations, helping them build exceptional Executive Support functions through a bespoke, relationship-led approach.
Every search is tailored to the individual client, their culture, leadership team and long-term goals. Our focus has always been on building trusted partnerships and delivering an exceptional experience for both clients and candidates.
Led by co-founders Sarah Howson and Marianne Whitlock, we are passionate advocates for the Executive Assistant and Business Support profession and are committed to raising its profile through recruitment, training, mentoring and industry events.
As our business continues to grow, we are looking to appoint an EA Talent Management Consultant to join our team. We're not precious about titles. For the right person, this role is an opportunity to help shape both the position and our future. We value personality, chemistry, curiosity and the intangible qualities that can't always be captured on a CV. Above all, we're looking forward to meeting someone who shares our values and wants to be part of our journey.
The Opportunity
This is an exciting opportunity for either an experienced recruiter or a senior Executive Assistant looking to move into a relationship-led recruitment and consultancy role.
You'll manage end-to-end recruitment assignments, partnering closely with clients and candidates throughout the recruitment journey, while helping us continue to raise the standard of Executive Assistant recruitment.
Key Responsibilities

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.

- Advocating for and supporting the Executive Assistant and Business Support profession sits at the heart of everything we do. Your answers to these questions matter just as much as your CV and will help us understand your values, your approach to partnership and what motivates you.
- Who is the best Executive Assistant you've worked with (or alongside), and what made them exceptional?
- Tell us about a professional partnership that had the greatest impact on your career. What made it so successful?
- Why does the Business Support profession matter to you?
We know the right person may not be actively looking, we are in no rush to hire.
The process will begin with an informal online conversation with Sarah Howson and Marianne Whitlock, giving us the opportunity to get to know one another. We'll then invite shortlisted candidates to our Marlow office to meet the team and continue the conversation, exploring the role in more detail and discussing where you could add value within our small but mighty team.
If you're passionate about building exceptional partnerships, helping people thrive in their careers and becoming part of a business that is committed to championing the Executive Assistant profession, we'd love to hear from you.
