EA to Founder/CEO (Bristol)
PR/031729
Up to £80,000!
We are supporting one of Europe's fastest-growing engineering businesses in their search for an Executive Assistant to support their Founder & CEO.
This is a highly visible role within a fast-paced, entrepreneurial scale-up experiencing significant growth. Working closely with the Founder, COO and wider leadership team, you'll become a trusted right hand, helping to bring structure and momentum to a dynamic business where priorities move quickly and no two days are the same.
The Role
Supporting the Founder & CEO, you will play a key role in ensuring priorities are managed effectively and the business continues to operate smoothly during an exciting phase of growth. Responsibilities include:
- Complex diary, inbox and calendar management
- Coordinating UK and international travel
- Managing competing priorities and protecting the Founder's time
- Gatekeeping and stakeholder management
- Preparing meeting materials, agendas and briefings
- Taking minutes and driving actions to completion
- Supporting projects and business-critical initiatives
- Acting as a central point of coordination across the leadership team
- Building trusted relationships with internal and external stakeholders
- Providing ad hoc personal support as required
This is far more than a traditional EA role. The successful candidate will become a genuine extension of the Founder and a trusted member of the wider business.
Benefits & Details
- Salary up to £80,000 depending on experience
- Bonus scheme, private medical insurance and comprehensive benefits package
- 25 days' holiday plus bank holidays
- Bristol Parkway location
- Inclusive, collaborative and high-performing culture
- Excellent office environment with meals provided and on-site gym
- Flexible working, with an expectation to be in the office when the Founder is
About You
We are looking for a proactive and adaptable Executive Assistant who thrives in high-growth environments and enjoys supporting ambitious leaders.
You will have:
- Experience supporting a Founder, CEO or senior executive
- Exceptional organisation and attention to detail
- A proactive, solutions-focused mindset
- Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
- Confidence to prioritise, influence and push back when needed
- Experience working in fast-paced environments
- Excellent judgement and problem-solving skills
- High levels of professionalism and discretion
- A genuine passion for Executive Assistant support as a long-term career
Industry experience is less important than mindset, adaptability and the ability to build a strong partnership with a senior stakeholder.
This is a standout EA opportunity within the Bristol market, offering direct exposure to an impressive Founder & CEO and the chance to play a key role in a rapidly growing scale-up. If you're looking for impact, variety and long-term potential, we'd love to hear from you.
