Senior Executive Assistant, Cape Town
DataTech Recruitment is looking for a highly capable professional to join our team in Cape Town. This is not a standard administrative role; it is a strategic position providing support to three senior leaders within a large global tech and digital transformation business, including the CEO for the MEA region. As a Senior Executive Assistant, you will be the person who turns ambiguity into structure, keeps strategic priorities on track, and ensures the right information reaches the right people at the right moment. If you have outgrown traditional administrative work and want to operate as a genuine partner to leadership, this role is built for you.
Responsibilities of the Senior Executive Assistant
- Manage complex, multi-stakeholder diaries across three senior executives, prioritizing time against high-impact business needs.
- Coordinate meetings from end to end, overseeing everything from agendas and meeting materials to logistics.
- Handle executive inboxes where necessary, drafting responses and identifying urgent matters for immediate attention.
- Plan local and international travel, anticipating and resolving contingencies before they arise.
- Act as the primary, trusted point of contact between the executive office and internal or external stakeholders.
- Track strategic initiatives and maintain RAG status reporting on key business programs.
- Prepare board, Exco, and SteerCo-ready reports, dashboards, and executive summaries.
- Capture and track meeting actions to ensure accountability across the leadership team.
- Create high-quality presentations, reports, and communications that are polished and executive-ready.
- Extract and consolidate data from SAP or similar systems into clear, actionable reporting.
- Utilize AI tools such as Copilot or ChatGPT to streamline workflows and maximize efficiency.
Requirements
- 8 to 12+ years of experience supporting C-suite or senior executives in a fast-paced environment.
- Proven success in managing multiple senior stakeholders simultaneously.
- Strong background in executive reporting, presentations, and formal business documentation.
- Experience with strategy execution tracking and governance processes.
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft 365, with specific expertise in Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook.
- Practical working knowledge of SAP or a similar ERP system.
- Comfortable utilizing AI productivity tools within a professional business context.
- Experience with Power BI is considered a bonus.
