About you
We are looking for an experienced EA or PA who has supported C-suite or senior leadership and is comfortable working in a fast-paced, operational environment. You'll ideally have:

The environment
You'll need to be comfortable working in both the boardroom and an operational environment, dealing confidently with senior executives, investors and external stakeholders. We're looking for someone proactive, commercially curious and calm under pressure, who can anticipate what the leadership team needs rather than waiting to be asked.
