The Role

Step into an exciting role as a Personal Assistant to the Managing Director at a dynamic, industry-leading company headquartered in a state-of-the-art facility in Basildon, Essex. This is your chance to work at the heart of a vibrant business specialising in solutions for the pharmaceutical and cosmetic sectors, collaborating with a dedicated team of professionals in a modern, purpose built environment.

We’re searching for a confident, passionate, and highly organised individual to become the right hand support to our client's Managing Director. This isn’t just a job - it’s an opportunity to make a real impact in a fast paced, innovative setting where no two days are the same. If you thrive on variety, love solving challenges, and excel at keeping everything running smoothly, this role is for you!

Why This Role Stands Out:

• Dynamic Responsibilities: From managing complex diaries and coordinating high stakes meetings to planning international travel and orchestrating corporate events, you’ll be at the center of the action, ensuring everything flows seamlessly
• High-Impact Support: Act as a trusted confidant to the Managing Director, handling sensitive tasks with discretion and building strong relationships with clients and colleagues across all levels
• Creative Freedom: Use your initiative to anticipate needs, streamline processes, and bring a positive, can do attitude to a role that blends strategy, organisation, and people skills
• Rewarding Benefits: Enjoy a competitive salary tailored to your experience, a pension scheme, and a generous benefits package that recognises your value to the team

What You’ll Bring:

• Proven experience supporting senior level directors with confidence and efficiency
• Exceptional organisational and multitasking skills, with a razor sharp eye for detail
• A knack for discretion and trustworthiness, handling sensitive information with care
• The ability to work independently, think on your feet, and proactively solve problems
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills to connect with diverse stakeholders
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and fast, accurate touch-typing to keep up with the pace
• A warm, positive personality that thrives in a collaborative, team-oriented environment

What You’ll Do:

• Masterfully manage the Managing Director’s diary, ensuring every day runs like clockwork
• Coordinate meetings, prepare agendas, take minutes, and organise refreshments to create a professional, welcoming atmosphere
• Plan and execute UK and international travel with precision, from flights to itineraries
• Draft and format correspondence, documents, and reports with polish and professionalism
• Keep the Managing Director’s inbox and priorities in check, acting as a key point of contact for internal teams and external clients
• Organise memorable corporate events, conferences, and exhibitions that showcase the company’s vision
• Handle expense reports and take on ad hoc tasks with flexibility and enthusiasm

This is more than a PA role—it’s a chance to be a vital part of a forward thinking company, working closely with a visionary leader in a role that offers variety, responsibility, and growth. If you’re ready to bring your skills, energy, and passion to a workplace that values your contributions, apply now!
