Executive Assistant to the CEO - Help drive our next stage of growth in Glasgow

There are plenty of Executive Assistant roles out there. This isn't one of them. We're looking for someone who wants to become a trusted extension of our CEO and play a central role in helping a growing business operate more effectively.

Cyber Chain Alliance is at an exciting stage of its growth. New services, new people, new opportunities, and new ideas. The pace is fast, priorities evolve, and no two weeks look the same. Our CEO naturally operates across multiple areas of the business. From clients and recruitment to product development, community initiatives, and strategic growth, there are always conversations happening, ideas forming, and opportunities emerging. We're looking for someone who can keep up.

What the role actually looks like

This role is about creating structure where it's needed, connecting people, and making sure important things don't get lost. Some days you'll be managing the CEO's inbox, preparing briefing notes, or organising meetings. Other days you'll be pulling together actions from emails, Teams conversations, and meetings, chasing updates, connecting the right people, or making sure an idea discussed on Monday has become meaningful progress by Friday. You'll become the central point of coordination around the CEO's priorities. Not by owning the work, but by making sure everyone knows what needs to happen, who owns it, and where things have got to.

You'll work closely with the leadership team, helping maintain visibility of actions, improving communication flow, and ensuring momentum is maintained across the business. You'll also support the CEO's involvement across recruitment, business development, community initiatives, partnerships, innovation, and the many different conversations that come with leading a growing consultancy.

Whilst we're a remote-first business, we genuinely value spending time together. You'll be expected to travel regularly across the UK for leadership meetings, company events, client engagements, industry events, and community initiatives where being there in person adds value.

The type of person who does well here

This role won't suit everyone. If you're looking for a traditional Executive Assistant position where you're given a list of tasks to complete each day, this probably isn't the right fit. We're looking for someone who naturally spots gaps. Someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity. Someone who hears an idea, captures it, connects the right people, and quietly helps move it forward. You'll be comfortable working with ambiguity, juggling competing priorities, and switching between strategic conversations and practical tasks without losing momentum.

You'll probably have supported a founder, business owner, or senior executive within a start-up, scale-up, or growing SME before, so you'll understand what it's like when priorities change quickly and new opportunities appear overnight. Most importantly, you'll be proactive. Not waiting to be asked, but thinking ahead, anticipating what comes next, and helping keep the business moving.

What we're looking for

We're looking for someone who is naturally organised, proactive, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment where priorities can change quickly. You'll enjoy bringing structure to complexity, keeping people connected, and making sure important actions don't get lost. You're someone who follows things through, isn't afraid to challenge constructively, and takes pride in helping others succeed. You'll be confident working with senior stakeholders, able to communicate professionally, and comfortable handling sensitive business information with discretion.

To be successful in this role, you'll also need:

• Experience supporting a founder, business owner, or senior executive within a start-up, scale-up, or growing SME.
• To be based in the UK with the unrestricted right to work in the UK.
• The flexibility to travel regularly across the UK as business needs require.
• A willingness to get stuck in, adapt quickly, and contribute wherever you're needed.

Why people join us

A lot of Executive Assistants reach a point where they want to do more than manage diaries and calendars. They want to influence how a business operates. They want to work alongside senior leaders, understand how decisions are made, and become someone people genuinely rely on. That's what this role offers. You'll have visibility across almost every part of the business and the opportunity to work alongside an experienced leadership team that's building something ambitious. It's a role with variety, autonomy, and trust. You'll see how ideas become reality, help create the structure that allows the business to grow, and make a genuine difference to how we operate every day.
