Executive Assistant

We're thrilled to be supporting the Institute of Risk Management (IRM) to recruit their new Executive Assistant.

This role has a duel focus, split between supporting the Senior Management Team and supporting their sub-committees.

Based in the heart of the city, The Institute of Risk Management (IRM) is the leading professional body for Enterprise Risk Management. They provide globally recognised qualifications and training, publish Thought Leadership and run insightful events open to both their members and the wider public.

This is a permanent, full time role, with hybrid working and an expectation to be office-based just one day per week.

Two Reasons why you might want to apply...

1) IRM have committed to supporting the appointee by funding a formal Governance qualification, once in post. This is testament to IRM's commitment to professional development of their staff.

2) Having worked with IRM and placed many people there over the last 10 years, I can personally vouch for them being a great employer.

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, you will provide support to board sub-committees, including producing concise and accurate minutes.

Oher duties include:

• Maintain and keep up-to-date action logs for the sub-committees.
• Assist the relevant executive directors responsibly for the workings of the sub-committees in meeting arrangements.
• Support the Company Secretary in administration of main and, if necessary, subsidiary company board meetings.
• Maintain the portal system of sharing information amongst executive staff and non-executive directors.
• Arrange and minute the SMT weekly meetings, and the monthly meetings of the Chair, the CEO, the two deputy Chairs, and others where appropriate.
• Provide diary support for the CEO and executive directors.
• Liaise and support the Chair and non-executive directors as required.

If you have any previous committee support experience or extensive PA experience with a desire to develop your governance skills and knowledge, we would love to hear from you asap.
