Executive Assistant - maternity cover

We’re looking for an experienced Executive Assistant to join Lockton on a maternity cover, supporting two Senior Partners within our Retail broking business.

This is a role built on trust, partnership and integrity. You’ll act as a true extension of the leaders you support — bringing judgement, discretion and a proactive approach to everything you do.

At Lockton, relationships matter. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, clients and colleagues across the business, helping to create a seamless and professional experience in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.

What you’ll be doing

• Managing complex diaries and priorities, ensuring leaders can focus on what matters most
• Acting as a trusted point of contact for internal and external stakeholders
• Coordinating client meetings, travel and key business activities
• Supporting the rhythm of the business — from leadership meetings to client engagement
• Anticipating needs, solving problems and keeping things running smoothly

What we’re looking for

• Experience supporting senior leaders in a fast-paced, professional environment
• Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
• A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and clients
• High levels of discretion, integrity and professionalism

Why Lockton

Lockton is built differently — privately owned, people-focused and committed to doing the right thing for clients and colleagues. You’ll be part of a business where partnership, trust and long-term relationships sit at the heart of everything we do.

This is a twelve month maternity cover with expectations of a minimum 3 days a week in the office and a mid June start date to allow a thorough handover with the incumbent EA.
