Job Overview
We are seeking an Executive Assistant to provide administrative and diary support within a busy executive office, specifically to act as a trusted partner to several members of our Executive Management Committee (EMC). The role will be working alongside other experienced EA's, reporting directly into the EA to one of the Co-CEOs.
This is more than a traditional EA role—you will operate as a true extension of the Executives, responsible for ensuring their time, priorities, and workflow operate with maximum efficiency and strategic focus . You will act as the primary, professional "face" of the Executive, requiring exceptional judgment, strong business acumen, and the ability to operate with complete discretion in a dynamic, fast-paced global environment.
There is also the opportunity within this role for some other business partnering, for example event management support, social media support and internal communications support.
Key Responsibilities:
1. Strategic Time & Workflow Optimisation
Calendar Mastery: Proactively manage complex, multi-time zone calendars, "living in the schedule" to strategically build time for internal alignment, strategic thinking, and leadership duties.
Proactive Planning: Anticipate needs several steps ahead, proactively adjusting commitments, and ensuring the Executives are fully prepared with all necessary materials (pre-reads, briefs, agendas) before every engagement.
Travel & Logistics: Seamlessly plan and execute complex domestic and international travel, including multi-city itineraries, logistics, and comprehensive expense reporting/compliance.
2. Communication & Stakeholder Management
Executive Representation: Act as the confident, professional, and primary point of contact for the Executives with internal teams (eg, Sales, Legal, Finance, HR) and external partners.
Correspondence: Draft, filter, and manage high-volume email and communication with exceptional clarity, adapting communication style to all levels of seniority.
Meeting Management: Attend key meetings to document decisions, capture action items, and ensure timely follow-ups across the Executives’ organisations.
3. Operational Partnership & Business Acumen
Trusted Partnership: Operate with absolute discretion and confidentiality, quickly learning the Executives’ preferences, decision-making patterns, and communication style.
Business Context: Understand the Executives’ key priorities, strategic initiatives, and the broader organizational ecosystem to make smart, informed decisions independently.
Initiative: Identify bottlenecks, propose solutions, and take proactive initiatives to solve problems before they arise.
Essential Skills & Qualifications
5+ years of progressive Personal or Executive Assistant experience.
Proven success managing highly complex, fast-moving, global calendars and workflows.
Experience operating in dynamic, high-growth, or high-performance environments.
Ability to work in-office at least 3 days per week in London.
The Ideal Partner: Traits & Competencies
Proactive by Default: Anticipates needs, solves problems early, and rarely requires direct instruction.
Executive Presence: Acts with polish, confidence, and high emotional intelligence, serving as a professional ambassador.
Personal Traits: Looking for someone friendly, sociable and collaborative who enjoys being visible, engaged and involved in office life
Communication Excellence: Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, including strong note-taking and documentation.
High Discretion: Demonstrates an exceptionally high level of judgment and maintains absolute confidentiality on sensitive matters.
Tech Savvy: Highly proficient across modern tech platforms
