Executive Assistant to Founder/CEO

THE OPPORTUNITY

We are partnering with a high-growth, investor-backed technology business with hyper-growth plans. Operating internationally and entering a critical expansion phase, this is a business with serious ambition, pace and market visibility.

THE ROLE

We are seeking an exceptional, action-orientated Executive Assistant to operate as the trusted right hand to a dynamic Founder / CEO. This is a true extension-of-the-leader role, creating leverage and executing flawlessly at the very top of the organisation and enabling focus on the highest-value strategic priorities.

The role is based in a Soho open-plan office, with the expectation that when the CEO is in the office, their EA will also be present to provide close, visible support and remain fully embedded with the senior leadership team. When the CEO is travelling, there is flexibility to work from home. A sensible, mature and trusted approach to the working model is essential, balancing autonomy with presence and pace.

WHY THIS ROLE STANDS OUT

You will sit at the centre of the business, partnering closely with the Founder / CEO and senior leadership team. Key elements include:

• Managing complex international diaries, travel and logistics across time zones
• Acting as a trusted gatekeeper and point of coordination with senior stakeholders and investors
• Driving follow-up, structure and momentum across leadership priorities
• Representing the Founder / CEO and business with confidence, judgement and gravitas

This role suits an EA who thrives in ambiguity, enjoys responsibility and wants their impact to be felt daily.

The successful EA will have relevant experience and be able to demonstrate the following:

• Extensive experience as an Executive Assistant supporting a Founder / CEO or C-suite leader in a fast-paced environment. Hyper growth experience advantageous.
• Experience within a technology, AI, product-led or high-growth start-up / scale-up environment strongly preferred.
• Proven ability to manage complexity, ambiguity and competing priorities with calm authority at pace.
• Demonstrated experience working closely with investors, boards, or senior external stakeholders is highly advantageous.
• Comfortable working flexibly across time zones, with an understanding that pace and global operations will require out-of-hours support.

PACKAGE & REWARD

This is an executive-level opportunity with a salary of £100,000++ (flexible for the right individual), plus equity participation, private medical and dental cover, pension, generous holiday allowance. Expectations are high, but so is the reward, autonomy and exposure for the right person.
