An executive assistant, on the other hand, often takes more of a project management role. They are sounding boards for their executives, helping them through their decisions and, if the work involves travel, there are many EAs who travel with their executives. For example, office social events or workplace cultural committees.

This will mean managing budgets, assisting with internal communications, organising global events and loads more! My EA function includes booking travel, heavy calendar and email management and organising the site-wide events. What do you have for lunch?

I mentioned that I spent a lot of time working from home so I thought I would delve a little more into what I actually do at home and some of the myths that assistants might have about working remotely from their manager.
