What makes this company unique?

This is a unique opportunity for a senior EA to step into a pivotal role as a true strategic partner to an inspiring and accomplished CEO. This CEO exemplifies exceptional leadership, balancing a high level of intellectual acuity with emotional intelligence—a rare combination that sets them apart. They prioritise their team and the broader organisation, fostering a culture of inclusivity, excellence, and shared purpose. With carefully considered benefits and a focus on values alignment, they ensure every hire is a perfect match, both in skill and ethos.

As the CEO takes on additional responsibilities as Chair of the Board, they are navigating an increasingly dynamic schedule, making this partnership more critical than ever. You’ll play an active role in managing their day-to-day priorities, and as you grow into the role, you’ll assume greater organisational responsibilities. The CEO is looking for an EA who can quickly adapt to their operating rhythm, identify opportunities for improvement, and implement solutions. This is a high-performing environment where every team member is expected to bring their best, and you’ll have the chance to truly make your mark.

What is unique about you?

You’re a seasoned professional with a proven track record of providing outstanding support to senior executives in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. Many would describe your approach as akin to that of a Chief of Staff or Business Manager, combining strategic thinking, operational efficiency, and a proactive mindset. You excel in process improvement, board and committee support, and high-level project management. While your expertise sets you apart, your down-to-earth and approachable style makes you an invaluable asset to any team. You’re not afraid to roll up your sleeves—whether it’s streamlining complex processes or stepping in to handle small, practical tasks when needed.

Your leadership sets the standard for EA support within the organisation. You’re a mentor to other EAs, leading by example and elevating the level of professionalism across the team. A natural communicator, you engage confidently with the leadership team in the CEO’s absence, ensuring priorities are met and holding others accountable. Like the CEO, you possess a strong balance of intellectual capability and emotional intelligence, making you a trusted partner and an influential presence within the organisation. Experience in financial services, professional services, or a similar high-achieving environment will have prepared you to thrive in this exciting role.

A snapshot of your role…

  • Orchestrate the CEO’s calendar, ensuring seamless alignment of commitments, meetings, and priorities.
  • Act as a critical point of contact between the CEO and key stakeholders, managing correspondence and ensuring timely follow-up on pressing matters.
  • Spearhead the planning and execution of high-profile events, ensuring every detail is managed to perfection.

 

  • Collaborate with teams across the organisation to track key projects and provide the CEO with concise, actionable updates.
