Job description

Overview

We’re working with an ambitious, high-growth organisation looking for an outstanding Executive Assistant (EA) to become the CEO’s trusted right hand. This is far more than diary management. You’ll play a pivotal role in helping the CEO operate at their very best, making judgement calls, managing competing priorities and ensuring their time is spent where it has the greatest impact.

You’ll take ownership of a demanding global schedule, coordinate complex international travel, manage senior stakeholder relationships and act as a confident gatekeeper who isn’t afraid to challenge, prioritise and make decisions. You’ll also have the opportunity to get involved in projects, events, strategic initiatives and extensive private support, making this an incredibly varied and rewarding role.

In return, you’ll join a collaborative, ambitious business where you’ll have real influence, work closely with senior leadership and gain exposure well beyond a traditional EA role. There is genuine opportunity to develop into a broader Business Manager or Chief of Staff position as the business continues to grow. This role will be hired on a contract-to-permanent basis, so it will likely suit immediately available candidates.

Please note, this role is being filled on behalf of a client by a recruitment business.

Responsibilities

• Take ownership of a demanding global schedule and coordinate complex international travel.
• Manage senior stakeholder relationships and act as a confident gatekeeper who challenges, prioritises and makes decisions.
• Support the CEO with project work, events, strategic initiatives and extensive private support.
• Operate with discretion, handling highly confidential information and working autonomously in a fast-paced environment.

Qualifications

• Experience supporting a CEO or Founder.
• Exceptional organisational skills and sound judgement.
• Ability to work autonomously and manage confidential information with absolute discretion.

What we offer

Join a collaborative, ambitious business with real influence and exposure beyond a traditional EA role. The role offers the opportunity to develop into broader leadership positions as the business grows.
