Job Description

Float Executive Assistant (FTC)

About Baringa
We set out to build the world\'s most trusted consulting firm - creating lasting impact for clients and pioneering a positive, people-first way of working. We work with everyone from FTSE 100 names to bright new start-ups, in every sector.

You\'ll find us collaborating shoulder-to-shoulder with our clients, from the big picture right down to the detail: helping them define their strategy, deliver complex change, spot the right commercial opportunities, manage risk or bring their purpose and sustainability goals to life. Our clients love how we get to know what makes their organisations tick - slotting seamlessly into their teams and being proudly geeky about solving their challenges.

As a Certified B Corporation\xc2\xae, we\'ve proven that we\'ve built social and environmental good into every bit of what we do.

We have hubs in Europe, the US, Asia and Australia, and we work all around the world - from a wind farm in Wyoming to a boardroom in Berlin. Find us wherever there\'s a challenge to be tackled and an impact to be made.

About The Baringa Enablement (BE) Team

The purpose of our Baringa Enablement team is to help the business grow and make our peoples\' lives easier. To do this we provide business capabilities and services across Finance, IT, HR, Legal, Marketing and Operations & Risk.

Baringa prides itself on a high degree of partnership and collaboration across our Consulting and Baringa Enablement teams. Baringa Enablement is seen as an integral part of the business. For our consultants who spend a lot of time working away from home and in different countries, we represent an important degree of expertise, constancy, and support.

Baringa is at a key inflexion point in its journey from being a small, intimate business with high degrees of entrepreneurialism and individual independence, to being a bigger, international business which needs more consistency and infrastructure - but not too much. We don\'t want to lose our pioneering, start-up-style adaptability and flexibility, but at the same time, we want to operate with more consistency and predictability.

Baringa Enablement is at the heart of navigating this change and it\'s a demanding challenge. We don\'t always have the best systems and processes in place - so we need people who want to create them and can work with a bit of chaos along the way. We especially like people who are comfortable with change, ambiguity and being very hands-on while at the same time ensuring we are delivering to significant strategic goals.b

What a career at Baringa will give you

Putting People First

• We give you every opportunity to progress by having four promotional reviews a year. No one develops at the same pace. That\'s why we have quarterly rather than annual promotion reviews. We don\'t have any quotas: if you\'re ready and delivering at the right level, you\'ll get that promotion.

• We\'re proud to put people first with wellbeing at the forefront of our culture, one example of this is that every employee receives \xc2\xa3300 a year to put towards their wellbeing! In 2022 this was recognised in our #1 ranking in the UK\'s Great Place To Work \'Best Workplaces for Wellbeing\'.

• All employees participate in the Baringa Group Profit Share Scheme so everyone has a stake in the company\'s success.

• We recognise the importance of work-life balance and flexible working and have a 3-4-5 policy. You\'ll likely travel to be on-site with your clients. Our policy guarantees you\'ll spend no more than 3 nights away from home, 4 days on-site with a client, with the 5th day working from home or back at Baringa HQ. We know that the \'ideal\' balance will vary from person to person and will change at different stages of our working lives and for that reason we have implemented a hybrid working policy

• Our world is important to us, so all our employees get 3 days every year to help the social and environmental causes and increase our impact on the communities that mean the most to us

• We recognise everyone needs a well-deserved break - As such we have introduced the \'Re-charge\' benefit meaning Baringa will offer all employees an additional 2 weeks of paid leave after 5 years continuous service.

An award-winning workplace

We\'re excited that our clients and peers recognise Baringa\'s distinctiveness, and the impact of our work.

And we\'ve won a further 15 medals, three more than last year. It\'s fantastic to see two new silver medals for sustainability, and operations and supply chain. To top it off we won four new bronze medals for public and social sector; internet, media and entertainment; IT strategy; and people and performance.

We are committed to being a sustainable business which drives us to continually rethink and reengineer how we make a positive impact on the world. From working with our clients to build wind farms, setting up smart hospital wards, and designing a vaccine supply chain, to aligning our business to net zero by 2030 and working in communities where we believe we can make a difference - we want our actions to tell the story of our lasting impact.

Join us

We\'re a kind and curious team who are building a culture where people can achieve their best, celebrate our differences, and create impact that lasts.
