Your Impact
Our Executive Assistants (EAs) are expected to be creative problem solvers for the Senior Partner and/or Partner whom they support. In this role, you will collaborate with your Partners to optimize their time, create trust-based relationships within their network while building your own, and delivering high-quality end products.
The Partners’ network includes their clients, teams, practices, and internal colleagues. You will build ongoing rapport with your Partners, their clients, client assistants, internal colleagues, your EA team and other EAs globally. You will act as an informed Chief of Staff/representative for the Partners when interacting with clients, internal and external customers, and others, while maintaining the confidentiality of highly sensitive information.
This role involves organizing, strategically managing, and maintaining detailed and complex calendars for Senior Partners and other team members.
Your responsibilities will include planning and coordinating client and internal meetings, conference calls, conferences, events, and lunches or dinners, as well as sending out reminders. You will also coordinate complex international and local travel arrangements, manage travel logistics, and accommodate individual preferences.
Additional duties include tracking and managing all incoming communications, responding to correspondence that does not require the personal attention of the Partner, and assuming responsibility for planning, organizing, and executing projects with minimal guidance. These projects often involve coordinating schedules for senior leadership participants.
Acting as an informed deputy, you will interact with clients and other key stakeholders whose goodwill and respect are critical to the Partners and the firm, while also fostering strong relationships with clients and their administrative contacts.
Collaboration with Executive Assistant Managers and department members is essential to ensure smooth workflow, timely actions, and adherence to deadlines.
The role also includes organizing and maintaining all client and internal files using the firm's authorized system, providing backup coverage as needed, and coordinating events for both internal and external initiatives.
Additional responsibilities include preparing and submitting timesheets and expenses in accordance with deadlines, managing and monitoring client accounting statements and invoices upon request, and handling miscellaneous tasks such as printing, copying, mailing, and other duties as assigned.
