This is a role for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment, enjoys thinking several steps ahead and naturally takes ownership. The CEO already has dedicated personal support, allowing this position to focus exclusively on business operations, strategic initiatives and executive coordination.

- Managing high-level business correspondence and prioritising competing demands.
- Supporting executive and board meetings.
- Monitoring key deliverables across multiple business activities.
- Working collaboratively with the CEO's Personal Assistant to ensure seamless coordination across all commitments.
- Handling highly confidential information with complete professionalism and discretion.
About You
This opportunity is designed for an Executive Assistant who is already operating at the highest level. You will have significant experience supporting a CEO, Founder or Executive Chairman and be comfortable navigating a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment where priorities can change rapidly. You will also bring:
- Previous experience supporting at C-Suite level within a corporate environment.
- Ideally educated to Bachelor's degree level (or equivalent).
- Extensive experience managing complex diaries and international travel.
- Outstanding organisational skills with exceptional attention to detail.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- The confidence to build credibility with board members, investors and senior executives.
- The ability to anticipate needs before they arise and solve problems independently.
- Sound judgement, resilience and absolute discretion.
You will be someone who remains calm under pressure, enjoys working at pace and naturally builds trusted relationships with senior stakeholders.
The CEO
The CEO is an accomplished entrepreneur who leads multiple international businesses and operates at the highest level across industry and government. He is known for being approachable, fair, loyal and highly driven. He values people who think ahead, take ownership and become genuine partners in achieving the business's objectives.
What's on Offer
- Excellent salary.
- Exceptional benefits package.
- Discretionary annual bonus.
- Hybrid working (three days in the office).
- Flexibility to support the demands of a busy international CEO.
- Occasional international travel.
- Exposure to board-level decision making, strategic projects and global stakeholders.
