Location: London – Hybrid (approx. 3 days per week in the office, including Tuesday). The EA team provides onsite cover between 8am–5pm
Contract: Permanent, 37.5 hours
Salary: £50,000 per annum

More than diary management – be a trusted partner at the heart of senior leadership.

We’re looking for two experienced Executive Assistants to join our team – one supporting our CEO and the other supporting Group Directors across the business.

This is not a traditional EA role. You’ll act as a trusted partner, anticipating priorities, exercising judgement and solving problems independently to help our senior leaders perform at their best.

What you’ll do

• Take ownership of complex diaries, inboxes and competing priorities, anticipating needs and ensuring senior leaders are fully prepared
• Manage senior-level meetings, events and VIP visits from end to end, including agendas, papers, actions and follow-up
• Produce high-quality briefings, reports, presentations and papers for senior, Executive and Board audiences
• Act as a proactive problem-solver across key priorities, coordinating projects, research, deadlines and actions with minimal supervision
• Manage a range of operational activity including travel, expenses, budgets, onboarding and wider EA team support

What you’ll bring

• Significant EA/PA experience supporting Executive Director-level leaders within a large organisation
• Strong organisation, judgement and attention to detail, with the ability to manage competing priorities independently
• Professionalism, discretion and excellent written communication, with experience producing high-quality materials for senior audiences
• Strong digital skills, including Microsoft Office, with good understanding and experience of using AI tools
• Previous project management experience and a proactive, solutions-focused approach
• Join us and play a key role supporting senior leadership within a collaborative and high-performing EA team.
