OVERVIEW:

This is a high-agency Executive Assistant to provide direct support to the client across a growing property services group. The role is designed to create structure, reduce bottlenecks, and help evolve a fast-growing, founder-led business into a more organised, scalable operation.

This person will act as the client’s operational right hand — bringing order to inboxes, calendars, follow-ups, reporting, and meetings — while also providing broader administrative and digital support across the business.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Executive Support
• Manage the client's inbox — triage, filing, prioritization, and draft replies
• Create structure in the client's calendar: time blocking, meeting coordination, scheduling discipline
• Help plan the client's day and week so priorities are proactively managed, not reactively handled
• Ensure important tasks, commitments, and follow-ups are captured and progressed
• Assist with travel, bookings, and general executive administration as required
• Task Sweeping and Follow-Through
• Own open items the client initiates and drive them through to completion
• Pick up tasks after meetings or conversations and convert them into actions
• Chase internal inputs required to progress or complete work
• Prepare documents, letters, and reports using business data and internal systems
• Reduce multi-step, fragmented workflows by helping drive one-touch completion where possible
• Meeting and Leadership Support
• Coordinate recurring one-on-ones and leadership meetings
• Prepare agendas, templates, and discussion prompts in advance
• Capture meeting outputs, minutes, and action items
• Track ownership and progress of agreed actions
• Help establish a more disciplined meeting rhythm across the leadership team
• Administrative and Operational Support
• Produce standardized letters and business documentation
• Pull reports from internal systems and prepare them in a usable format
• Support ad hoc business administration: team coordination, internal documents, project assistance
• Assist with client reporting and formatting of recurring outputs
• Help improve consistency and structure in internal processes
• Digital and Light Marketing Support
• Update website content in Squarespace
• Assist with LinkedIn post drafting and scheduling
• Help prepare proposals, property management agreements, and presentation materials
• Use AI tools to improve speed and quality of output where appropriate

Requirements

QUALIFICATIONS:

• Essential
• Proven experience as an Executive Assistant, Operations Coordinator, Senior Administrator, or similar
• Strong inbox and calendar management capability
• Excellent written communication and document preparation skills
• Strong follow-up discipline and task management ability
• Preferred
• Experience with MyHR and/or property management systems such as OPM
• Familiarity with Squarespace and LinkedIn
• Background in a property, facilities, or service-based business
• Strong AI literacy — comfortable using tools such as ChatGPT to improve workflows

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE:

• The client's inbox is organized and under control
• His calendar has structure and protected focus time
• Meetings produce clear outputs and defined follow-up
• Administrative work is completed faster and with less friction
• Business tasks are consistently progressed without the client driving every detail
• The role creates enough leverage that the client can focus on leadership, growth, and higher-value decisions

WORKING STYLE:

• Likes bringing structure to messy, fast-moving environments
• Has initiative and the backbone to follow through without prompting
• Can work across executive support, administration, and project coordination simultaneously
• Enjoys being a force multiplier for a busy business owner
• Is comfortable improving systems while also handling day-to-day execution
