About BDO
At BDO, we understand that exceptional service begins – and ends – with exceptional regard for our people. We offer a unique and supportive culture that puts people first – whether that’s professional development, personal fulfilment, work-life balance or a flatter structure.
Be your best at BDO
We’re looking for a proactive, intuitive Executive Assistant to support our forward-thinking COO and help keep BDO’s national operations running smoothly. This is a highly trusted, fast-paced role where your initiative, energy, and attention to detail will make a real impact.
You’ll be more than just an organiser — you’ll be a true partner to our COO. From managing board meeting logistics and travel, to supporting national projects and team culture, you’ll help keep everything running like clockwork. You’ll also work closely with a genuinely great leader who values collaboration, innovation (including AI tools), and a bit of fun along the way.
What you’ll be doing:
- Providing high-levels of support to the COO — calendar, travel, meetings, and confidential admin – helping him thrive to support our network.
- Coordinating Board meetings and governance processes with polish and precision.
- Supporting onboarding, events, and team initiatives across the national leadership team.
- Taking ownership of small projects and continuous improvement initiatives.
What you’ll bring: - 5+ years’ experience in a similar EA/PA role, ideally in a large or complex environment.
- Exceptional organisation, discretion, and the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
- A proactive mindset, strong relationship skills, and confidence using tech and AI tools.
- You build trusted relationships through respect, credibility, and quality work — and you adapt your approach to suit different people and situations.
- You’re friendly, consultative, and agile — someone who brings positive energy, reads the room well, and knows when to lead, support, or step back.
Benefits
Not only will you be working with an awesome bunch of people, you'll also be rewarded with a good total package, birthday day off, plenty of social activities, L&OD opportunities and more.
