This isn't your typical PA/EA role. We're looking for someone who can bring calm to a busy working day, confidently manage changing priorities and become a trusted right hand to a hands-on CEO.
You'll need to be organised, proactive and confident enough to challenge decisions when necessary, while remaining personable, professional and discreet.

- Managing complex diaries, inboxes and competing priorities.
- Coordinating UK and international travel, meetings and events.
- Protecting the CEO's time and confidently challenging diary requests.
- Preparing reports, presentations and meeting documentation.
- Liaising with senior managers, customers, suppliers and external stakeholders.
- Tracking actions, following up on commitments and ensuring deadlines are met.
- Handling confidential information with complete discretion.
- Anticipating requirements and resolving problems without constant direction.
- Supporting wider business activities and getting involved wherever needed.
We're looking for a Executive Assistant to the CEO who:
- Has proven experience supporting a CEO, Managing Director or senior executive.
- Is confident, approachable and comfortable dealing with people at all levels.
- Can think independently, take ownership and make decisions within their remit.
- Remains calm and organised when priorities change.
- Has excellent communication, diary management and organisational skills.
- Is comfortable challenging requests and having difficult conversations professionally.
- Enjoys working in a fast-paced business where everyone gets stuck in.
- Has strong Microsoft Office skills and excellent attention to detail.
What's on Offer for the Executive Assistant to the CEO?
- Negotiable salary, depending on experience.
- Hybrid working arrangements.
- A varied role working directly alongside the CEO.
- Genuine responsibility, autonomy and the opportunity to make a difference.
- A friendly, ambitious and growing business.
If you're an experienced Executive Assistant to the CEO who enjoys being more than just a diary manager, we'd love to hear from you.
