APCO London is looking for an experienced Senior Assistant/Office Manager to support our London Office. The candidate will provide high quality support to the office’s Leadership Team, as well ensuring that the office runs smoothly by providing vitally important administrative, logistical and organisational support. The role also includes line management responsibility for an Administrative Assistant.
Our London office is the heartbeat of APCO’s European offering and if you enjoy a fast-paced environment with 135 colleagues and many international visitors, then this is the perfect role for you. This role is perfect if you have a strong background in office management, with a proven track record in planning an organising workload whilst managing last minute changes and conflicts. APCO is committed to a flexible, hybrid working environment, but given the nature of the role’s responsibilities, the expectation is that it will be largely office based.
