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
