WFH is not a standard entitlement in this role. It's considered on a case-by-case basis, so ideally you're someone who is comfortable being office-based.
I'm partnering with a leading financial advisory firm in Sydney to find an exceptional Personal Assistant for their practice.
We've supported a number of hires with this firm over the years, boutique in feel, excellent in quality, and genuinely great people to work with.
The Opportunity
This PA role supports 4 Partners specialising in investigations, AML, and accounting misconduct. 1 Partner requires strong, proactive day-to-day support while the remaining 3 are more ad-hoc. The primary Partner is approachable and fast-moving, he values someone who matches his pace, stays on the front foot with updates, and is reliable with deadlines. This role suits someone adaptable and comfortable across different personalities.

About You

The Interview Process
This firm runs a thorough process with 2 in person interviews as well as some testing between stages:
- Between stages: Cognitive testing (verbal and numerical reasoning) and a personality profile, just be yourself and answer honestly; and a short case study sent via email (designed to take no longer than an hour)
