- Helping to design and maintain effective ways of working for the executives you support, including meeting rhythms and communication flows
- Creating and keeping up to date simple executive reference guides that capture preferences, contacts and key information
- Supporting the planning and delivery of leadership meetings, customer visits and internal or external events
- Acting as a professional point of contact for internal and external stakeholders and handling sensitive information with discretion
What we are looking for:
- Several years of experience in an Executive Assistant or senior administrative role supporting one or more senior leaders
- A strong track record managing complex calendars, travel and competing priorities.
- Confident use of Microsoft 365 tools, particularly Outlook, PowerPoint and Excel, and experience working in a digital, Teams based environment
- Someone highly organised, detail focused and dependable so that leaders trust that things are under control
- A proactive and forward thinking problem solver who anticipates needs and looks for better ways of doing things
- A low ego and adaptable team player who is comfortable adjusting their approach as the business and priorities evolve
- A calm and steady presence under pressure who can juggle shifting demands without losing composure or professionalism
- A commercially aware mindset with an interest in understanding the bigger picture and how your work supports the organisation’s goals
