Our client is a dynamic, fast-growing business services company. They're innovative, people-driven and proud of the supportive, collaborative culture they've built.

You'll be joining a close-knit team, working alongside another experienced Executive Assistant and the Chief of Staff with your core remit to provide seamless support to the CEO, CFO, and Chief Sales & Operations Officer. The C-Suite are high-achieving but genuinely kind, approachable, and respectful - they'll expect high standards but are the type of people who'll value your support.

This is a career EA role - perfect for someone who truly enjoys being an Executive Assistant, who takes pride in their craft, and wants to be part of a company that values their people and wants them to stay long-term.

You'll be right at the centre of things - a true gatekeeper, organiser, and trusted partner to the leadership team. Your days will be varied, fast-moving, and rewarding.

Key Responsibilities

• Provide high-level, proactive EA support to the CEO, CFO and CS&O, ensuring their time and focus are aligned to key business priorities.
• Manage complex and ever-changing diaries - balancing priorities, keeping things running smoothly, and anticipating what's next.
• Oversee the CEO's inbox, ensuring timely follow-ups, clear communication, and smart delegation.
• Act as a key liaison for the Board, Chair, and investors - managing meeting schedules, briefings and communications.
• Prepare professional correspondence, presentations, reports and meeting materials.
• Coordinate meetings and events, ensuring agendas, pre-reads and logistics are flawlessly managed.
• Arrange UK and international travel and manage expenses.
• Provide occasional personal assistance to the CEO as needed.
• Collaborate closely with the other EA, sharing insights, supporting cross-functional projects and ensuring a joined-up approach across the C-suite.

About You

You'll be an experienced EA who thrives in a fast-paced, high-touch role - someone with great judgement, strong emotional intelligence and the confidence to hold your own with senior stakeholders.

You'll bring

• Proven experience supporting C-suite executives (CEO/CFO level ideally)
• Exceptional organisational and prioritisation skills
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Absolute discretion and professionalism
• A friendly, grounded personality with a sense of humour and a collaborative mindset
• The ability to juggle multiple moving parts and stay calm under pressure
• A "roll your sleeves up" attitude - happy to help wherever needed
• Prior experience in a private equity-backed or growth-focused environment is a plus

Culture & Working Style

This is a hybrid role, based in their City of London HQ (near Liverpool Street) three days a week with flexibility around business needs to work from home two days. You'll enjoy being in the office - it's sociable, energetic and genuinely supportive. Occasional travel to other UK locations may be required on occasion. The standard hours are 8.45am - 5.30pm (with flex as needed around business needs).

The leadership team work hard, but they're human - they value warmth, humour, and people who care about doing a great job. You'll be trusted to manage your work, supported when you need it, and appreciated for the impact you make.

If you're a career EA who loves what you do and want to continue doing it somewhere that truly values and invests in their people, this could be just the move you've been looking for.
