The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Personal Assistant to join Standard Life's Group Internal Audit function. This role will provide high-quality administrative and organisational support across a senior leadership team, supporting five Heads of Audit located across the UK and Ireland.

This is a fast-paced and varied position where no two days are the same. Rather than supporting a single executive, you will work across the wider audit leadership team, ensuring priorities are managed effectively and business operations run smoothly. The successful candidate will be highly organised, responsive, proactive, and able to manage complex diary arrangements within a demanding corporate environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Deliver a professional, proactive and reliable PA service to multiple senior stakeholders.
• Manage highly complex diaries across five Heads of Audit, coordinating meetings across multiple locations, time zones and stakeholder groups.
• Prioritise scheduling requests and resolve diary conflicts efficiently.
• Organise internal and external meetings, including logistics, agendas and meeting coordination.
• Coordinate travel arrangements and manage associated expense claims.
• Process invoices, purchase orders and other administrative requirements.
• Respond promptly to queries from senior stakeholders and wider teams.
• Handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion and professionalism.
• Anticipate upcoming priorities and proactively support business requirements.
• Collaborate closely with fellow PAs and wider support functions to ensure a seamless service across the audit team.
