Role Summary:

We are seeking a highly skilled, resilient, and impeccably organised Executive Assistant to provide dedicated support to the CEO of a highly successful and dynamic nationwide business. This is a pivotal, office-based role at the heart of a fast-paced environment, requiring a unique individual who can operate with absolute discretion and professionalism.

This position is far from a standard EA role. You will be the central hub for both complex business and sensitive personal matters, ensuring the smooth and efficient operation of the CEO's demanding schedule. You will need to be a master of anticipation, a proactive problem-solver, and possess the emotional intelligence to navigate a challenging and ever-changing environment.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Meticulous management of a complex and fluid business diary. You will be responsible for prioritising meetings, ensuring punctuality, and strategically organising the day to maximise efficiency, often needing to diplomatically keep things on track.
  • Act as a key point of contact for high-level business communications and sensitive personal matters, including liaising with legal professionals regarding confidential documentation.
  • Analyse, prioritise, and action a high-volume inbox, ensuring nothing is missed and all urgent matters are dealt with promptly.
  • Attend confidential meetings, take accurate minutes, and meticulously track actions.
  • Manage complex international travel logistics, ensuring seamless transitions from last meetings to departures, often at short notice.
  • Work closely with the CEO's existing Private PA, ensuring a seamless and cohesive support system between business and personal affairs.

The Ideal Candidate:

You are a mature, unflappable, and supremely organised professional with a proven track record as an EA supporting C-Suite level. You understand that this is a fully office-based role and are committed to being present and available.

  • You possess unshakeable composure and a robust nature. You are resilient and understand emotions can be heightened in a high-pressure, results-driven environment.
  • Your organisational skills are second to none. You anticipate needs, think three steps ahead, and thrive on creating order.
  • You will handle highly confidential information with the utmost integrity and sensitivity.
  • You are comfortable with constant change, shifting priorities, and last-minute alterations. You are solutions-oriented and remain calm under pressure.
  • You are assertive yet diplomatic, with the ability to manage upwards and communicate effectively with a wide range of stakeholders, from senior executives to legal counsel.
  • You are willing to get involved in all tasks, from complex business analysis to ensuring the CEO's daily needs (such as lunch) are taken care of, understanding that no two days will be the same.

Apply Now:
