Executive Assistant to Head of Wealth | Aberdeen | Hybrid

A high-impact opportunity supporting senior leadershipAre you an experienced Executive Assistant who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys being one step ahead and takes pride in making senior leaders more effective?

We’re working with a highly respected professional services firm in Aberdeen that is continuing to grow and is looking for an exceptional EA to provide dedicated support to the Head of Wealth and wider senior leadership team.

This is far more than a traditional administrative role. You’ll become a trusted partner to senior stakeholders, helping to manage priorities, coordinate key business activity and ensure that everything behind the scenes runs seamlessly.

If you’re naturally organised, commercially aware and someone who can anticipate what needs to happen before being asked, this could be an excellent next step.

The Opportunity
  • You’ll work closely with senior leaders across a broad range of strategic and operational activity, giving you genuine exposure to how a successful professional services business operates.
  • You’ll be trusted with sensitive information, high-level relationships and important business activity, so discretion, judgement and professionalism are essential.
  • No two days are likely to look the same. One day could involve preparing for a leadership meeting, the next coordinating international travel, supporting a major project or pulling together a high-profile presentation.

What you’ll be responsible for
  • Executive & Diary Management
  • Inbox & Communication Management
  • Board & Leadership Meeting Support
  • Presentations & Executive Communications
  • Projects, Integration & Change
  • Travel & Events
We’re looking for an EA who is proactive rather than reactive. Someone who doesn’t simply wait for instructions but thinks ahead, spots potential issues and finds solutions.

You’ll ideally bring:
  • Proven experience supporting senior executives or leadership teams.
  • Exceptional organisational and time-management skills.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
  • Strong proficiency across Microsoft Office, particularly Outlook, Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
  • The confidence and professionalism to deal with senior stakeholders at all levels.
  • Outstanding attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
  • Strong judgement and a high level of discretion when handling confidential information.
  • Experience coordinating meetings, travel, events and/or projects.
  • A calm, solutions-focused approach when working under pressure.
You’ll be someone who:
  • Thinks two steps ahead.
  • Takes ownership rather than waiting to be asked.
  • Can confidently manage competing priorities.
  • Builds strong relationships with senior stakeholders.
  • Is comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment.
  • Takes genuine pride in getting the detail right.
  • Understands that great EA support is about adding value, not simply administration.
This is an opportunity to step into a high-visibility role within an established and growing professional services environment, working directly with senior leadership and gaining exposure to a wide range of strategic and operational activity.
You’ll have the autonomy to make the role your own, while working alongside experienced colleagues and playing a genuinely important part in keeping senior leadership operating effectively.

If you're an experienced EA who wants a role where your organisational skills, judgement and ability to anticipate needs are genuinely valued, we'd be keen to hear from you.
