Executive Assistant

Posted recently. Role: Executive Assistant. Location: Pretoria, Gauteng. The team is hiring and seeks a candidate who can step in and deliver from week one.

Overview

The organisation is investing in its Pretoria operation, and this Executive Assistant position reflects that commitment. The successful candidate will work across the administration jobs function and contribute to the wider Gauteng business.

Communication runs both ways. Managers across the administration jobs team in Gauteng make time for one-to-ones, and people are expected to speak up early when something needs attention.

Stakeholders for this position include line managers, peers across the administration jobs team and trusted external partners. Building those relationships early makes the next twelve months in Pretoria much easier.

Tools, systems and information are there to support the role rather than slow it down. The company continues to invest in the technology that backs its Pretoria teams, and the new Executive Assistant will feel that from the first week.

The Environment

Practically speaking, the environment is professional and structured. Expect a calm, well-organised office, a steady flow of support requests, and a strong culture of confidentiality.

Practically speaking, the working environment is set up to give the team the focus needed for deeper work, while keeping collaboration and quick problem-solving close at hand.

Our Commitment to Transformation

Inclusion is a core part of how the team operates. This is an equal-opportunity employer, and candidates from all communities — including women, youth and persons living with disabilities — are encouraged to apply for this role in Pretoria.

Practical steps back the words. Structured EE reporting, transformation initiatives and learnership programmes give real opportunities to candidates from across Gauteng.

B-BBEE compliance is more than a scorecard here. It informs how the business invests in skills development, supplier diversity and community engagement across the country.

Recognition matters here. Strong performers are noticed quickly, and many promotions across the business have started in the Pretoria teams.

Notably, the company reinvests in its people: paid training, internal moves and the chance to take on bigger projects are all part of how careers in Pretoria keep progressing.
