• Supporting business development, networking and client relationships
• Helping improve processes, systems and team capability
• Working closely with the wider team to drive accountability and outcomes

About You

You’ll be a highly organised, proactive and commercially minded professional who enjoys taking ownership and making things happen.

You’ll bring:

• 10+ years’ experience in EA, executive support or a similar role
• Strong communication, organisation and stakeholder management skills
• Demonstrated marketing and content experience
• Excellent attention to detail and discretion
• Strong Microsoft Office 365 skills; Canva experience is advantageous
• Confidence working with senior stakeholders and external clients
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach
• The ability to influence, coordinate and support others without formal authority
• A genuine interest in business growth and continuous improvement

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to move beyond a traditional EA position and become a trusted partner to the CEO and an integral part of a growing business.

You’ll have the autonomy to bring ideas, improve processes, contribute to marketing and business development, and help shape the future direction of the business.

If you’re ambitious, commercially minded and looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.
