About the Role
We are seeking a highly capable Executive Assistant to partner closely with our CEO and Executive Leadership Team (ELT). This is not a traditional EA role — it is a strategic, outcomes-focused position designed for a professional who manages ambiguity, operates with autonomy, and contributes at a business-wide level.
This role has been reimagined to elevate executive support beyond diary management. You will be a trusted operator who ensures the CEO and ELT function at pace, with clarity and impact, in a fast-moving and often changing environment.
The CEO travels extensively and requires someone who can proactively anticipate needs, adapt quickly, and keep things running seamlessly behind the scenes.
Key Responsibilities:
- Provide high-level support to a globally active CEO, managing complex and some changing schedules, travel, and priorities.
- Coordination of Board meetings
- Make timely, sound decisions with incomplete information, using judgement and context
- Identify inefficiencies and lead improvements (e.g. reviewing and optimising meeting cadence and ways of working).
- Build strong, trusted relationships across the organisation and externally.
- Be highly proficient with systems and tools, taking ownership of execution in supporting the ELT.
Who You Are & How You Operate
You create clarity, momentum and structure for the CEO and ELT. You anticipate needs, act decisively, and keep the business moving. You're comfortable working with ambiguity, using sound judgement to make calls with incomplete information. You remove friction, lift how we operate, and build trusted relationships that enable outcomes.
You bring:
- Proven experience operating at a senior EA supporting executive leaders in a global reaching business
- Expertise in coordinating board meetings, including scheduling, agenda preparation, board paper distribution, minute-taking, stakeholder liaison
- The confidence to work autonomously and make decisions, even when direction or information is limited
- Strong judgement and an ability to balance pace with quality of decision-making
- A natural ability to build relationships and influence outcomes through clear, effective communication
- A highly organised, adaptable and proactive approach to work
- Strong IT and digital capability, with a self-sufficient, solutions-focused mindset
- Alignment to a flat, low-hierarchy environment, where outcomes are achieved through collaboration—not authority
If you're ready to step beyond traditional EA support and operate as a trusted, high-impact partner to the CEO and ELT, apply now.
