Please kindly note that this is a senior Private Secretary level role, not an Executive Assistant position. We are seeking an individual with proven experience operating at a high strategic level, providing executive support. The postholder will act as a trusted adviser and key partner to the Director General, managing high-profile and sensitive issues, shaping engagements, navigating complex stakeholder landscapes, and ensuring the DG is fully briefed, prepared, and positioned to deliver organisational priorities.

This role requires someone who has already demonstrated sound political judgement, the ability to handle complex information with discretion, and the confidence to influence senior leaders. We are looking for candidates who can hit the ground running, bringing experience in a comparable senior support, Private Secretary, or high-level advisory environment rather than those whose background is solely in EA or PA work.

When people go to work, they shouldn’t have to leave their ambition at the door. If you’re ready to take on a high‑impact role in a fast‑paced, high‑performing environment, the Senior Support Executive position offers a strong platform to drive results and influence leadership at the highest level.

As Senior Support Executive, you will operate at the centre of the IOPC, gaining clear insight into strategic priorities while providing confident, informed advice that enables the Director General to perform at their peak. Your work will be integral to the strength and efficiency of the DG’s office and to the successful delivery of the organisation’s transformation agenda.

Drawing on your background as a private secretary or similar, you will produce sharp, influential reports, briefs, and speeches that support clear decision‑making and represent the Director General’s voice with precision. You will build strong, purposeful relationships across senior teams, working closely with the Senior Leadership Team and Deputy Director General’s Office to ensure seamless coordination.
