In this Office Administration role, you will be working within a close-knit team of highly experienced Investment professionals. This is a key new role that is the first point-of-contact for the business and their wealth management clients. It requires maturity, confidence, calmness, awareness of the differing needs and characteristics of individuals, diligence, accuracy, a “can do” attitude, and the ability to work independently across multiple concurrent activities. The role is involved in creating and maintaining a welcoming and pleasant environment for clients and visitors, as well as maintaining a pleasant office environment for team members. The broader responsibility of the role covers a range of activities within the areas of office management, client service, and general office administration.

Additionally, through involvement in many areas of our firm, you will get the opportunity to work alongside directors and senior members of their team, providing you with the opportunity to develop your knowledge and expertise in the investment industry.

The successful candidate will report to the Office Manager and assist in front-of-house reception, office management, and travel management. The candidate will be an assistant to a client-facing team and will perform regular and ad hoc administrative and support functions in the areas of client service, general business administration, compliance, online services, and adviser programmes. This role will be a key contributor to the team’s professional and efficient approach to delivering specialist investment services to clients and will require the candidate to be comfortable undertaking planning and administrative functions independently, accurately, timeously, and with regular communications.
