Brief PA experience
Currently working at PricewaterhouseCoopers as an Executive Personal Assistant to the Risk Assurance Partner of the Southern Markets / PwC Gauteng Assurance Leader.
Grateful to have had the opportunity to work in this company for the past 13 years, but am now seeking a new career opportunity. I believe a vital part of the role of a Personal Assistant is to understand and anticipate the needs of my Directors and ultimately make their life as smooth and unproblematic as possible. With 14 years of experience in extensive diary management, the ability to organise any travel requirements, run events and other high profile activities I feel able to effectively assist and provide support while thinking on my feet and overseeing my Partner’s workday.
Having worked in support functions over the last 16 years, I have a demonstrable understanding of the requirements and implication of working with a variety of senior managers and Executives and can exercise compassion, assertiveness and remain utterly confidential when situations demand.
My strong administration, IT and computer skills and ability to creative projects, having coordinated marketing, communication and event activities in my current role.
I am confident in my ability to exhibit the skills and attributes needed to make a successful and efficient Personal Assistant/Office Manager and to contribute to a fast paced and highly creative organisation.
I’m looking for a role that will challenge me and allow me to strengthen my current skill set while also developing my potential to take on new tasks. I thrive in a busy commercial environment while also being able to work creatively with a team or my own.
Most of my career to date has been working in an Auditing environment and I have always been drawn to challenging tasks and people who take the initiative and drive the company forward. I believe I would be wholly suited to working in this role and would be a passionate and enthusiastic member of your team.
