Job description

At Commify, we're not just a company, we're a globally connected team of innovators who love what we do. As a CPaaS leader with 25 years of groundbreaking experience, we're the force behind over 5 billion customer interactions each year, enabling businesses worldwide to connect via advanced channels like SMS, RCS, and complex mobile journeys. Backed by leading investors and industry giants, we're scaling globally. That means big challenges, high autonomy, and the chance to make an outsized impact.

Our culture is our core strength. Operating across the UK, EMEA, the USA, and Australia, we've fostered a truly diverse and connected environment, earning a consistent 4 out of 5 culture score in our employee engagement surveys. You'll join a vibrant team where your diverse experience makes a daily global impact.

We’re looking for a super-resourceful Executive Assistant for 12 months to be the operational backbone for seven of our Executives in a high-impact, temporary role.

This isn't just admin - it's Executive Command Centre management. You'll be the ultimate gatekeeper, effortlessly juggling competing priorities and managing complex global logistics (calendars, travel, and mission-critical documentation). Success demands a tech-forward mindset: you must be fluent in modern tools, leverage AI for efficiency, and execute projects with flawless precision. If your superpower is turning chaos into high-level order, we want you.

What You'll Be Doing (Key Responsibilities)

Executive Operations & Logistics:

• Own complex calendar management, scheduling critical recurring meetings, and meticulously planning internal and external events.
• Handle travel logistics, including end-to-end booking of transport and accommodation.

Board & Meeting Management:

• Drive the monthly Board Pack cycle, which includes collating team updates, refreshing presentation slides, and distributing confidential materials to the EMT and Board members on deadline.
• Provide comprehensive support during high-level meetings: preparing detailed agendas, accurately capturing minutes, and ensuring all follow‑up actions are tracked and completed.
• Prepare and finalise necessary documentation for various high‑stakes meetings as required.

Administrative Project Support:

• Assist the EMT with ad‑hoc strategic administrative tasks, including managing approval processes and confidential documentation preparation.

What You'll Bring (Skills & Experience)

• Proven Track Record: Solid, demonstrable experience in a similar high‑volume Executive Assistant role, ideally supporting multiple senior leaders.
• Stakeholder Excellence: A proven ability to deliver consistently exceptional service and build trust with senior executives and internal stakeholders.
• Professional Toolkit:
  • Impeccable Organisation & Detail: A razor‑sharp focus on detail and a robust ability to prioritise and manage competing deadlines under pressure.
  • Communication Powerhouse: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills; comfortable drafting high‑level internal and external correspondence.
  • Proactive Initiative: The ability to anticipate needs, work autonomously, and deliver results without constant supervision.
  • High proficiency and experience with the Google Suite.
• Character Essentials: Absolute reliability, strong discretion, and the professionalism required to handle highly confidential information.
