Moxie People are supporting a purpose-led organisation in South Wales as they recruit an Executive Assistant to support their Chief Executive, Chair and Board during a significant period of organisational transformation.

• Drafting and editing reports, briefings and correspondence to executive level.
• Tracking actions, commitments and key organisational priorities.
• Coordinating governance and reporting activities linked to a major improvement programme.
• Managing sensitive and confidential information with professionalism and discretion.

What We're Looking For

• Experience supporting a Chief Executive, Director or equivalent senior leader.

• Strong stakeholder management skills and confidence working with senior leaders, boards and external organisations.
• Excellent written communication skills with experience drafting professional reports, correspondence and briefing papers.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
