We are proud to be partnering exclusively with a leading medical technology company based in Aylesbury, currently experiencing an exciting period of growth and innovation. This is a unique opportunity for an experienced Executive Assistant to step into a trusted, strategic partnership with the Managing Director - acting as a confidante, business enabler, and key member of the leadership team.

This role goes far beyond traditional EA responsibilities. As the right hand to the MD, you will provide seamless operational support, ensure business priorities are delivered, and act as a sounding board for commercial decisions. Approximately 70% of the role is business-focused, with 30% dedicated to managing the MD’s personal portfolio.

This position is ideal for a commercially astute EA who thrives in a dynamic environment, anticipates needs, and enjoys being at the heart of a purposeful and high-performing organisation.

• Support development of strategic partnerships and business opportunities in the UK and overseas.
• Draft correspondence, prepare reports, presentations, minutes, and board-level documentation.
• Coordinate HR activities including recruitment, appraisals, and confidential staff matters.
• Assist with operational oversight such as Health & Safety and company policies.
• Organise internal and external meetings, events, and travel arrangements.

Personal Support

• Administer personal financial matters including pensions, tax returns, and investments.
• Oversee property management (maintenance, repairs, expenses, leasehold administration).
• Liaise with financial advisors, accountants, and other third parties.
• Manage confidential personal records and ensure discretion at all times.

What We’re Looking For

• Significant EA experience supporting a senior executive or business owner.
• Exceptional organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• High levels of discretion, professionalism, and emotional intelligence.
• Strong commercial acumen and a proactive, solutions-focused mindset.
• Tech-savvy, with strong Microsoft Office and Apple skills.
• Confident, adaptable, and able to operate with autonomy.

The Package

• Salary £40,000–£45,000 DOE
• 23 days holiday + bank holidays (rising with service)
• 5% matched pension contribution
• Private healthcare

This is an exciting chance to join a growing med-tech company at a pivotal stage, working directly with a Managing Director who values their EA as an essential partner in success. If you’re an experienced EA looking for a role where you can truly make an impact, we’d love to hear from you.
