What will I be doing?

• As our Executive Assistant you’ll be the engine that keeps our Executive Team moving. You’ll provide high-quality, proactive support to three senior leaders – helping them stay focused, organised, and ahead of the curve.
• Diary management and gatekeeping for the Executive Team – prioritising, protecting, and structuring their time so they can focus on what matters most.
• Managing all business travel logistics, including visas, itineraries, and expenses.
• Serving as the primary point of contact for internal and external communications on behalf of the Executive Team, including sensitive and confidential matters.
• Supporting the circulation of board and leadership packs and ensuring actions are followed up.
• Organising meetings, off‑sites, lunches, dinners, and office events – from logistics to hospitality.
• Supporting the smooth running of the UK office, including onboarding of senior hires and assisting during large exec‑facing events.

What do I need to bring with me?

• Proven EA experience supporting C‑suite leaders.
• Comfortable working in fast‑paced, high‑change environments – you take initiative and act without needing constant direction.
• 2–3+ years of EA experience, with the instincts and trust needed to work at this level.
• Strong diary management and travel coordination skills, with high attention to detail and confidentiality.
• High proficiency in Google Suite and Microsoft packages.
• Excellent communication skills – clear, professional, and able to represent senior leaders with care.
• Experience in tech, SaaS, or growth companies is a plus – as is familiarity with AI tools.
• Equally important is attitude – we want people who think big, ask why, and show respect to everyone at every level, all the time.

Why Join Us

• A pivotal moment to join GWI – exciting opportunity, working directly with the Executive Team to help them achieve big goals.
• Real autonomy and impact from day one – space to shape the role, implement new processes, and bring fresh ideas.
• A brilliant team – collaborative, supportive, and genuinely fun.
• A role that grows with you – as GWI grows, so does the scope of this position.
