It’s feeling inspired to deliver to the very highest standard.
It’s expanding your skills in a challenging and exciting environment. This is what makes a career with the Royal Household so different.
The Master of the Household leads the department responsible for the planning and delivery of all entertaining given by The Queen and other Members of the Royal Family, as well as the domestic management of the Occupied Royal Palaces. He is also the lead for the Buckingham Palace Reservicing Program.
As Executive Assistant, you will provide specialist support for the Master of the Household, using initiative to prioritize and manage multiple requests on their behalf, and helping them to balance strategic and operational priorities with a strong drive to improve operations continuously. Joining a highly professional and dedicated team, you'll be required to deliver to the very highest standards in a fast-paced and unique environment.
You’ll act as an ambassador for the Master of the Household and their department and will have exposure at a senior level across the organization. Externally, you will build professional relationships with Government Officials, Diplomatic Offices, private guests, and the senior management of both public and private enterprises.
Beyond this, you will be a main point of communication, distributing key information around department teams, tailoring speeches and presentations for a variety of audiences and contributing to the department’s communications to the wider organization. You will also plan and arrange key meetings, including preparing agendas, reports and minutes, alongside travel and diary management.
No two days will be the same, and our unique purpose will inspire all that you do. You'll need to prioritize tasks in a fast-paced environment. Deadlines will often be demanding, and the sheer range of requests will stretch you. Yet, in all that you do, you'll rise to the challenge of delivering faultless accuracy.
