Job description

Are you an organised, proactive, and detail-driven EA/Administrator who loves creating order from chaos? This is a rare opportunity to join a thriving boutique high-end contractor that specialises in residential projects across Wimbledon, Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill and more.

This is not your typical corporate environment. You’ll be joining a small, close-knit team where everyone supports each other, and no two days are the same. The business is growing fast, and the CEO needs a true right-hand partner to take control of his admin, streamline processes, and give him the space to focus on driving the company forward.

What you’ll be doing

• Acting as gatekeeper and protecting the CEO’s time
• Managing a busy, ever-changing diary and inbox
• Setting up and modernising systems (HR, operations, efficiencies)
• Being the first point of contact for clients and partners
• Representing the CEO in meetings
• Coordinating recruitment and onboarding for new hires
• Liaising with third-party suppliers
• Supporting with occasional personal admin and diary tasks

What we’re looking for

• 5+ years of EA/admin/ops/HR experience
• A confident, resourceful organiser with exceptional attention to detail
• Sense of humour!
• Process-driven, IT-savvy (advanced in Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and highly numerate
• A proactive problem solver with common sense and initiative
• Interest in property, interiors, or architecture
• Comfortable working in a small, fast-paced business where you’ll wear many hats
• MUST be able to drive – the office is best accessed by car

Why this role?

• Make it your own – the CEO has never had an EA before, so you’ll have the chance to set up systems and processes from scratch.
• Real impact – your work will directly free up the CEO’s time to focus on growth. Flexibility – while you’ll be office-based, hours can flex around life commitments
• Collaborative culture – a small, family-feel environment where your voice matters.
• Exciting sector – immerse yourself in beautiful property, design, and interiors projects.
