Job description

Executive Assistant to the CEO & Head of Operations

Lower Dicker, East Sussex | Full-Time | In-Office Role

About Us

We’re freshWIPES – the UK’s favourite rinse-free hygiene brand, multi-award-winning, eco-conscious, and scaling fast. What started with a pack of body wipes and a wild idea has grown into a multi-million-pound FMCG challenger brand, now stocked in pharmacies, hospitals, QVC, and more. Our mission is to make staying fresh easy for everyone, from carers and patients to festival-goers and disabled athletes.

The Role

We’re looking for a super-organised, proactive, detail-obsessed Executive Assistant to support both our CEO and Head of Operations. This is a key role at the heart of a fast-growing scale-up, where you’ll keep things running smoothly behind the scenes so the leadership team can focus on growing the business.

Some days that means managing inboxes, diaries, and travel. On other days, it’s preparing documents, chasing up suppliers, or ensuring our team is where they should be with everything they need. If you’re the sort of person who spots what needs doing and just gets it done, you’ll thrive here.

What you’ll be doing

• Diary and email management for both CEO and Head of Ops.
• Preparing documents, presentations, and reports.
• Coordinating projects, deadlines, and priorities across the team.
• Liaising with suppliers, customers, and partners.
• Acting as a key point of contact internally and externally.
• Anticipating needs and proactively solving problems before they become fires.
• Helping to bring order, organisation, and calm to a very fast-moving business.

What we’re looking for

• Ridiculously well-organised, with a sharp eye for detail.
• Proactive, resourceful, and able to think two steps ahead.
• Patient, kind, and unflappable - even when things get busy.
• A brilliant sense of humour (because we work hard, but we laugh harder).
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including full Microsoft Office experience.
• Previous EA/PA or founder-associate experience essential.
• A car driver (public transport options in the area are limited)

Why you’ll love it here

• Be part of a fast-growing, women-owned, eco-conscious brand making real impact.
• A fun, supportive, no-ego culture.
• You’ll work closely with both the CEO and Head of Operations, a front-row seat to scaling a consumer brand.
• No two days are the same, and you’ll never be bored.

Details

• Full-time, in-office role (Lower Dicker, East Sussex).
• Salary is negotiable and dependent on experience, but circa £35-40k.
