What you’ll be doing:

An exciting opportunity has arisen to join the Conduct, Compliance & Operational Risk Team as the Personal Assistant (PA) for two Directors covering Customer & Product and Commercial & Markets Risk (CCOR).

The PA is the first point of contact for the team, providing secretarial and administrative support across varied tasks, whilst developing and maintaining strong relationships.

You will need to work with a range of senior stakeholders, both internal and external. It is a fast-paced work environment and you should be highly motivated and work well under pressure.

In this role you’ll:

• Plan and prioritise a demanding schedule and produce comprehensive information to support all appointments

• Ensure record keeping of the office is kept to a high standard and is in line with the Executive Handbook, Group policies and standards

• Gather and provide information on a wide range of topics, including material for various committees

• Identify, monitor and mitigate risks, escalating where appropriate and undertake project work as required

• Use initiative to prioritise workflow during absence, manage diaries to achieve optimum time effectiveness and arrange travel.

Why join us?

• Strong IT skills, including word processing and experience using a range of software packages

• Ability to work under pressure, meet deadlines and present information clearly and concisely

• High attention to detail, with discretion, reliability and an understanding of confidentiality requirements.

And any experience of these would be great:

This is a place for you:

Our ambition is to be the leading UK business for diversity, equity and inclusion supporting our customers, colleagues and communities and we’re committed to creating an environment in which everyone can thrive, learn and develop.
