Job description

This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-paced, scaling business in a high-impact executive support role. You’ll be a key support partner to three principals on a full-time basis, with additional support to two further principals as needed.

You’ll play a central role in keeping an international leadership team organised, connected and moving at pace — from complex calendars and global travel to meeting follow-through and action tracking. This is a role for someone who is highly autonomous, comfortable navigating ambiguity and confident making decisions and taking ownership without always having a clear playbook.

You’ll thrive in an environment where priorities can shift quickly, no two days look the same and there’s plenty of opportunity to make an impact. The ideal person will be proactive, commercially minded and naturally one step ahead, with the judgement and flexibility to support multiple senior stakeholders with different working styles.

This is a maternity leave contract beginning in December 2026 until August 2027.
