Job description

Executive Assistant to Chief People Officer

Central London/Hybrid 3:2 split

£70,000-£100,000 + discretionary bonus + equity

ASAP start

We’re working exclusively with a high-growth tech scale-up to hire a strategic EA to support their Chief People Officer. This is a unique opportunity to become the right-hand to a dynamic, visionary, and deeply human leader who values trust, loyalty, and authenticity.

Far more than a traditional EA role, you’ll be a strategic partner, confidante, and problem-solver, managing a high volume of sensitive information, complex scheduling, and cross-functional coordination. You’ll be embedded in the heart of the business during a time of accelerated growth, and working closely with other senior stakeholders including the CEO, CFO, and SVPs.

Key Responsibilities

• Executive support: anticipate needs, manage priorities, and act as a trusted advisor
• Calendar and comms: gatekeeping, scheduling, and representing the CPO professionally
• Confidential coordination: handle highly sensitive people and business matters
• Project management: track deliverables, streamline workflows, and drive outcomes
• Travel and logistics: coordinate itineraries and weekend/on-call support when needed
• Operational excellence: implement systems and bring order to chaos
• Stakeholder liaison: build strong relationships across the business

About You

• Experienced – you’ve supported senior execs or C‑suite to bring structure, calm, and operational excellence to their world
• Calm, composed, and confident – you bring grace under pressure
• High EQ and IQ – you read the room and adapt with ease
• Low ego – you’re here to add value, not chase status
• Highly organised – you thrive in complexity and love solving problems
• Tech‑savvy – fluent in Google Workspace, Slack, Notion
• Articulate and fun – you communicate at exec level but bring warmth and personality

A truly exciting time to join this fast‑scaling business. Please apply today to express your interest.
