We are honoured to be working exclusively with a high-profile luxury floristry brand, celebrated for its visionary floral artistry, world-class events and long-standing reputation for creative excellence.
We are searching for an experienced Executive Assistant - a strategic business partner who will be trusted to act as a direct extension of a dynamic and entrepreneurial CEO/Founder.

The working model is office based with a degree of flexibility, shaped around the Founders location and schedule. Youll be based from the Battersea office, occasionally from the Sussex home office and be trusted to manage your presence with judgement. Acting as the eyes and ears of the CEO, youll bring professionalism, maturity and warmth to every interaction - ensuring the tone, tempo and values of the business are consistently upheld.
