Position Overview

We're looking for an exceptional Team Assistant who wants to be part of that - someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, takes pride in making a high-performing team run seamlessly, and understands that the best teams run on trust, preparation, and someone who has things in hand before they're needed.
You'll provide personal assistance to the Director of Real Estate and team assistance to the wider international real estate leadership team - owning diary management, international travel, governance schedules and day-to-day administration with precision and proactivity. This is the operational backbone of the function, and the person in this role will be central to how well we operate.

Key Tasks and Responsibilities

Calendar & Stakeholder Management

Manage a complex international diary, coordinating across multiple time zones and senior stakeholders.

Organise and facilitate internal and external meetings with senior executives, operating companies, advisors, and partners.

Act as a key point of contact, building strong working relationships across local operating businesses, country and divisional leadership teams, Finance, Legal, Strategy & Development.

Manage meeting logistics, video-conferencing set-up and visitor arrangements.

Governance & Scheduling

Own the scheduling and coordination of recurring governance touchpoints - including divisional and country leadership, Legal, and other functional reporting forums - ensuring the team's place in busy senior diaries is secured and maintained.

Manage relationships with PAs and EAs across the business to coordinate reporting slots, pre-reads and follow-ups.

Maintain a forward-looking governance calendar, anticipating upcoming forums and ensuring the team is prepared and represented at the right moments.

Act as the connective tissue between the real estate function and its wider stakeholder network - keeping governance rhythms on track.

Travel & Logistics

Arrange complex international travel, including itineraries, site visits and stakeholder meetings.

Coordinate logistics for property tours, development reviews and executive visits.

Provide real-time support when the team is on the road, anticipating and resolving disruptions proactively.

Administrative & Financial Support

Manage expenses, budgets and invoice processes related to real estate activities.

Support procurement coordination (e.g., advisors, consultants, services linked to real estate activity).

Manage purchase order raising and invoice tracking for the team.

Who You Are

You're the kind of person who thinks three steps ahead. You notice when something needs doing before someone asks. You take pride in the quality of your work, and you want to work somewhere that matters.

Extensive personal or team assistance experience supporting Director/VP level in a large, multinational organisation.

Exceptionally organised, with the ability to juggle competing priorities and adapt as things shift - because they will!

Expertise in complex international travel management and proactive diary management.

Proven track record managing expenses accurately and efficiently on behalf of senior leaders.

Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office and Outlook; experience with travel booking platforms and expense systems (e.g., Concur) highly desirable.

Calm under pressure, discreet with confidential information, and energised by variety and pace.
