Executive Assistant to the Keeper of the Privy Purse

It’s supporting the team at the heart of a world famous institution.

It's the sheer variety of the challenges you'll face.  And it’s joining the professional business behind the monarchy. This is what makes working for the Royal Household so exceptional.

Joining a diverse finance team, you'll take on a role of unique variety.

The Keeper of the Privy Purse is responsible for the financial management of the Royal Household, and ultimately for its HR, Finance, Property, Travel and Digital services to The Queen's Household, the other Households of Members of the Royal Family and the Royal Collection Trust. In addition, the Keeper of the Privy Purse oversees major agricultural estates and commercial activities and plays a key role in the management of the Duchy of Lancaster and is Trustee of The Royal Collection Trust, Trustee and Chairman of the Audit and Risk Committee at Historic Royal Palaces and chairman of the Finance Committee for St Georges Chapel, Windsor Castle. Working at the heart of this unique organisation, you'll provide comprehensive EA and business support. 

No two days will be the same. You'll need to prioritise tasks in a fast-paced environment, managing multiple requests, ever changing diaries, meetings and appointments, alongside travel arrangements. You'll be co-ordinating board meetings, preparing the papers and supporting documents.  

You will have exposure across the organisation, liaising daily at a senior level and building relationships with colleagues and external organisations.

You'll also support the wider finance team and be responsible for the overall smooth running of the offices. 

Deadlines will often be demanding and the sheer range of requests will stretch you. Yet, in all that you do, you'll rise to the challenge of delivering faultless accuracy.

As an experienced EA at board level you take pride in delivering to the highest standards.

With superb interpersonal and communication skills, you'll be at ease working as part of a team, and can liaise with people at all levels.

With initiative and a confident approach, you'll work quickly and efficiently with minimal direction, remaining calm and organised even when under pressure.

Having had experience of complex diary management, you'll be capable of pre-empting situations, and also be confident to make informed decisions on the back of this.

Confident using a range of IT packages, and with excellent drafting skills and attention to detail, you'll be capable of producing a range of papers, presentations, correspondence and reports.

This is your opportunity to use your proactive and service focused approach to deliver the exceptional.

In return you can look forward to a comprehensive benefits package, including a 15% employer contribution pension scheme, 33 days annual leave, including bank holidays, free lunch and access to training and development to support your continuous professional development.
