The Opportunity

We are looking for an exceptionally organised, proactive and commercially aware PA to support the CEO of a growing business. This is not a traditional diary-management role.

You’ll be the person who knows what needs to happen, when it needs to happen, who is responsible and what needs chasing. If you’re naturally organised, commercially switched-on and confident enough to take ownership, challenge when necessary and keep things moving, this could be an excellent opportunity.

What You’ll Be Doing

CEO Diary & Priorities

• Take ownership of the CEO’s diary and ensure his time is used effectively.
• Manage competing demands and make sensible decisions around priorities.
• Build preparation and follow-up time into the diary.
• Identify clashes, pressure points and potential problems before they become issues.

Inbox & Action Management

• Support the CEO with a busy inbox, identifying priorities and ensuring important requests are dealt with.
• Maintain a clear list of outstanding actions, decisions and commitments.
• Follow up with senior colleagues and stakeholders to ensure deadlines are met.
• Confidently chase outstanding information and deliverables.
• Highlight anything overdue, blocked or requiring CEO intervention.
