The Senior Team Assistant will provide critical support to consultants across all stages of the search lifecycle.

• Exceptional attention to detail, organisation, and time management.
• Proven ability to multitask and thrive in a fast‑paced, deadline-driven environment.
• A proactive mindset with the confidence to take ownership of complex processes.
• Experience within executive search, professional services, or a similarly structured, high‑touch environment is advantageous but not essential.
