We have an exciting opportunity for a highly capable, ambitious and energetic Executive Assistant to support two senior C-suite executives within a prominent UK-based organisation. You will work primarily with the Chief Corporate Officer (circa 80% of your time), while also providing more traditional EA support to the Chief Commercial Officer. Both executives are shareholders and play critical roles within the company, with the Chief Corporate Officer being heavily involved in strategic operations and corporate decision-making. This individual will be your primary stakeholder, frequently requiring high-level coordination, forward planning, and the ability to act as a trusted extension of their role. The Chief Commercial Officer is largely self-sufficient, requiring support predominantly with diary management, logistics, and general coordination. This role is ideal for a confident, proactive EA who thrives when given autonomy, responsibility, and the trust to act independently. You will work closely with senior leadership, often helping to create structure around fast-moving priorities, pre-empt needs, manage internal and external relationships, and act as a central point of alignment across the business. The office environment is vibrant, collaborative and high-performing, with a sociable and supportive culture. Both principals are known for being respectful, relationship-driven leaders who build trust quickly and value their EA as a true partner. Based in the Farringdon office on a hybrid basis (typically three days in the office and two from home, with flexibility where needed), this role offers an attractive salary and strong benefits package, including private healthcare, pension contributions and a generous holiday allowance.
