This is a hands-on role. You’ll be as comfortable supporting Board members and senior executives as you are organising schedules, catering, preparing a meeting room or stepping in to solve a practical office issue.

We offer competitive remuneration and bonus, learning and development opportunities, additional leave options, employee and product discounts, health and wellbeing benefits and a great office location surrounded by great people.

If you’re an experienced EA who takes pride in being trusted, relied upon and valued for what you bring, we’d love to hear from you.
