We have opportunities to join the Digital Markets Unit at the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) and contribute to our work to promote greater competition and innovation in digital markets.
About the CMA
We help people, businesses, and the UK economy by promoting competitive markets and tackling unfair behaviour. Our work is wide ranging, ambitious and often new and challenging.
The Digital Markets Unit has been established to promote greater competition and innovation in digital markets, for the benefit of consumers and people. Our work focuses on some of the most important digital markets used by consumers and business in the UK, like online search, social media, app stores and online marketplaces.
What you will do
You will work closely with Digital Markets Unit senior management and provide valuable administrative support.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Providing administrative support to Directors and Senior Directors, including managing inboxes, tracking actions, and prioritising enquiries
- Managing complex and fluid diaries, handling diary clashes and conflicts, and exercising sound judgement in prioritising appointments
- Assisting with expenses and supplier invoicing, including raising purchase orders
- Working closely with other Personal Assistants, Group Administrators and the Business Managers.
- Planning and arranging meetings
- Booking national and international travel and accommodation
- Collating, coordinating, and printing information and meeting papers when required
What you will need
You will need experience of working in an administrative support capacity, including prioritising a busy work schedule and working collegiately in a team-focused environment.
You will also need good written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to communicate effectively with senior leaders and other stakeholders.
Proficiency with a range of Microsoft applications, experience of working under pressure within challenging timeframes, and the ability to use organisational systems and procedures for document management are equally important.
