Talent and Engagement Specialist - Driving Growth Through People

Executive Assistant to the CEO

Full-time | Salary: up to £35,000

Be the Power Behind the Vision.

At Nonacus, we’re advancing the frontiers of cancer diagnostics—making earlier, less invasive testing available to more people. Behind every bold mission is someone who makes the chaos look calm—and that’s where you come in.

We’re looking for a proactive, unflappable, and razor-sharp Executive Assistant to the CEO. If you thrive in fast-moving environments, bring clarity to complexity, and have a talent for keeping things (and people) on track, this role is calling your name.

What You’ll Be Doing

This is a central role in our fast-growing company where you’ll be the CEO’s go-to collaborator: managing time, driving key projects, and keeping the leadership team aligned and effective. No two days will be the same, and that’s exactly how you like it.

Organisation & Operations

• Own the CEO’s calendar and time—scheduling, prioritising, and protecting focus.
• Coordinate the leadership team’s meetings and leave planning so nothing falls through the cracks.
• Keep email and correspondence flowing, prioritised, and actioned.
• Maintain the CEO’s network—tracking key relationships, nudging timely follow-ups, and keeping it all organised.

Creative & Strategic

• Plan and coordinate executive meetings, board dinners, offsites, and industry events.
• Translate ideas into visuals—creating standout decks and presentations.
• Support the CEO’s digital presence—drafting, scheduling, and managing posts across LinkedIn, X (Twitter), and more.

General Support

• Arrange travel, book logistics, handle light personal tasks, and manage daily operational support.
• Collaborate with teams across the AGL Group on shared projects and strategic initiatives.

What You Bring

• Experience supporting C-level execs in ambitious, fast-paced environments.
• Excellent communication skills—both in writing and in person.
• Proven ability to stay calm, organised, and detail-focused while juggling competing priorities.
• Tech-savvy and design-minded: you’re comfortable with Google Workspace, MS Office, Canva, Notion, and scheduling tools.
• Experience in social media management and event planning is a bonus.
• A degree in business, communications, or a related field is helpful—but attitude and experience matter more.
• Resourceful, thoughtful, and solution-oriented.
• Adaptable and composed—you keep things moving even when the goalposts shift.
• Comfortable liaising with senior stakeholders and collaborating across functions.
• Motivated by purpose—you want your work to make a difference.

Why Nonacus?

You’ll work directly with an inspiring CEO and an ambitious team dedicated to transforming cancer testing. We care about doing things properly, building trust with each other, our customers, and the people we serve. With a collaborative culture, room to grow, and a mission that matters, this is more than just a job—it’s a chance to create real impact.
