This could be a fantastic opportunity.
SWIM is partnering with a high-growth, global technology organization to recruit an Administrative Assistant into its Executive Support team.
The role will provide broader administrative support to the team, taking ownership of important areas such as expense administration, offsite coordination and general team support.

As the organization continues to grow, its Executive Support function is evolving alongside it.
You’ll be joining an established and collaborative team of Executive Assistants who support senior leaders across the organization.
Rather than operating as a standalone Administrator, you'll be part of a team where you can learn from experienced EAs, gain exposure to a sophisticated executive support environment and continue developing your skills.

What – The Role

As Administrative Assistant, your primary responsibility will be providing reliable, accurate and proactive administrative support across the Executive Support team.

We're therefore interested in meeting both strong career Administrators and emerging EA talent who are excited about continuing to develop.

Our client embraces technology and is continually exploring smarter and more efficient ways of working.
You'll ideally be comfortable with modern productivity and collaboration tools such as Google Workspace and Slack, as well as learning new systems.
