Egon Zehnder is the world’s preeminent executive search and leadership advisory firm, inspiring leaders to navigate complex questions with human answers. We help organizations get to the heart of their leadership challenges and offer honest feedback and insights to help leaders realize their true being and purpose. We believe that together we can transform people, organizations and the world through leadership.
The Opportunity
The Executive Assistant supports one or more consultants by providing ongoing assistance in all aspects of client engagements and playing an ownership role in the oversight of administrative tasks. The role requires an individual capable of planning, executing and finalizing projects according to strict deadlines. This includes acquiring resources and coordinating the efforts of team members and clients in order to deliver projects according to plan.
The Executive Assistant must proactively manage changes in project scope, identify potential crises and devise contingency plans on a regular basis.
The successful candidate will be highly flexible, a strong multitasker on many levels and relish the variety and unpredictability of juggling multiple projects and changing priorities. The Executive Assistant is expected to feel a sense of ownership and involvement in the process, so as to be able to stage-manage all the elements that come together in a successful mandate. The Executive Assistant must ensure discreet handling of all interactions with clients, candidates, etc.
We operate as one unified team with expertise across industries, functions and geographies. Our organization can be described as high performing and collaborative combined with a caring and respectful culture.
We have been a values led Firm from the outset. Values have an aspirational aspect to them – they guide our behavior and remind us when we fall short. Our Firm operates under five Firm Values – One Firm, Clients First, Generosity, Spirit of Ownership, and Embrace Difference – each emphasize a different aspect of who we are (and want to be), and only together they help us balance what is right at any given situation.
The compensation range for this role is $85,000 - $90,000 annually.
