Job description

Executive Assistant to the EMEA General Manager

📍 Midlands, UK (Hybrid – periodic in-office weeks required)

💼 Full-Time | International Consumer Brand

💰 Excellent Fixed Salary

A leading global organisation within the beauty and personal care sector is seeking a highly professional and exceptionally organised Executive Assistant to support the EMEA General Manager. This role demands a polished, proactive individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is committed to delivering excellence at an executive level.

The Opportunity

This is a pivotal position providing high-level support to a senior leader responsible for driving strategic growth across the region. You will act as a trusted partner to the GM, ensuring priorities are managed effectively and that communication across internal functions remains seamless.

The ideal candidate is composed, detail-driven, digitally fluent, and confident managing a wide scope of responsibilities—from executive administration to project coordination and cross‑functional communication.

Key Responsibilities

Executive Support

• Provide comprehensive administrative and organisational support to the EMEA General Manager
• Coordinate complex schedules, priorities, and cross‑functional projects
• Prepare high‑quality presentations, reports, briefs, and documentation
• Support weekly reporting and executive dashboards

Operational & Commercial Coordination

• Act as a liaison between Sales, Marketing, Operations, Education, and regional teams
• Support order tracking, delivery follow‑ups, and event / product launch forecasting
• Contribute to sales enablement activities, including prospecting and CRM updates
• Manage communication flows across teams to ensure clarity and alignment

Digital, Marketing & Communications Support

• Assist in coordinating digital and social media activities across key channels
• Support content planning, asset development, and online engagement
• Collaborate with digital specialists on content scheduling and execution
• Coordinate influencer and ambassador communications when required

Project Coordination

• Assist with timelines, communication, and deliverables for marketing, trade, and publicity initiatives
• Coordinate project materials, creative briefs, and education‑related assets
• Refine presentation materials using Canva; Adobe Suite skills welcomed

Ideal Candidate Profile

• 2+ years’ experience in executive support, project management, administration, marketing, or a related field
• Demonstrated ability to excel in a high‑pace, high‑expectation environment
• Outstanding organisational, time‑management, and multitasking skills
• Professional communication style and strong stakeholder management capability
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office; familiarity with CRM tools such as HubSpot or Monday.com advantageous
• Confident using Canva; Adobe Suite and video editing skills considered a plus
• Strong digital literacy and understanding of social media platforms
• Interest in the beauty, personal care, or consumer lifestyle sectors preferred
• Ability to work autonomously with high levels of responsibility

Why This Role Stands Out

You will join a respected, purpose‑driven organisation and support a senior leader with broad regional responsibilities. The environment is:

• Fast‑paced and innovative
• Integrity‑led and performance‑oriented
• Collaborative and highly professional
• Focused on excellence and continuous improvement

This position offers significant visibility, cross‑functional exposure, and the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to a growing international organisation.
