Job Description

Harris Hill – Charity Recruitment Specialists are proud to be working with an inspiring new organisation on a mission to change lives through the power of numbers, as they recruit their first Executive Assistant/Operations Manager. The role is offered on a permanent, full-time basis, with some flexibility for hybrid working, though it will be primarily office-based in London Victoria.

This exciting new numeracy charity is committed to improving confidence with numbers, particularly for people, to unlock opportunities and promote social mobility.

In this role, you will work closely with both the CEO and CPO as a trusted right-hand, bringing structure and foresight to a fast-paced environment. You will combine classic EA support with broader operational responsibilities. From managing diaries, inboxes, logistics and minute-taking, to supporting programme delivery, operations, donor relationships, and CRM systems, you will ensure things run smoothly behind the scenes so the team can stay focused on mission and momentum. You will also support events and communications and help put the systems in place that will grow with the organisation.

We are looking for an experienced EA or PA who has supported senior leaders in a charity, foundation, or start-up and is eager to take on more. You will bring strong diary and inbox management skills, excellent organisation, and a keen eye for detail, along with the confidence to take the initiative and step into broader workstreams. This is a unique chance for someone who thrives in a fast-moving, purpose-led environment and wants to grow as the organisation grows, potentially into a more senior role over time. You will be a clear communicator, comfortable with CRMs and the MS Office suite, and above all, motivated by the belief that numeracy can change lives.

To apply, please submit your most recent CV by 23:59 on 6 July 2025.

If you are shortlisted, we will share the full job description, invite you to submit a cover letter (maximum two pages), and arrange a call to tell you more about the role and next steps.

Please note, only successful applicants will be contacted with further information.

As a leading charity recruitment specialist and a certified B Corp, Harris Hill is committed to high and ever-improving standards of equitable and inclusive recruitment.
