Job Description
Healf Is Europe’s Fastest-growing Company. Number one on the FT1000, number one on the Sifted 100. From £1m to over £100m in under three years, with a small, talent-dense team and an electric culture with day one founder intensity. Now we’re aiming for £1bn in the next three.
We curate the world’s best wellbeing brands across The Four Pillars™: EAT, MOVE, MIND, SLEEP. That’s the first chapter.
The next chapter is harder and more interesting. We are moving from one market to many, from e-commerce to a technology platform, and from curating wellbeing to defining it. We are a health company, so we think we should act like one.
At its fullest expression, Healf redefines what wellbeing means for tens of millions of people.
**The Opportunity** High-Performance, Long-Term Force Multiplier We are hiring a truly exceptional Executive Assistant to work directly with the Founder of a high-growth, Series B company building toward a multi-billion pound, multi-generational business.
This is not a reactive diary management role.
We are looking for a precision-driven, intellectually sharp, high-EQ operator who can act as a true guardian of time.
The right person will play a critical role in increasing the Founder’s effectiveness, protecting deep work, and ensuring attention is allocated to the highest-leverage opportunities across talent, capital, brand, operations, and strategy.
**Where You’ll Make An Impact** You will:
- Design and own the Founder’s time architecture - not just manage a calendar, but shape how time is invested.
- Act as a trusted gatekeeper, confidently filtering inbound and saying no when appropriate.
- Apply strong judgement to inbound opportunities - understanding which meetings and relationships create meaningful leverage, and which do not.
- Represent the business to senior operators, investors, and founders with polish and judgement.
- Build structured systems for calendar management, relationship tracking (CRM), executive rhythm, and internal coordination.
- Reduce administrative load quickly and bring clarity and structure to weekly time allocation.
- Improve executive meeting cadence and support leadership team coordination where helpful.
- Operate at the centre of a high-performance, ambitious, office-based environment.
- This role offers real influence over how a scaling company is run - through the leverage of time.
**What Success Looks Like (First 90 Days)**
- Full ownership of calendar and time architecture.
- Clear structure around deep work, talent, investor, and operational time.
- Reduced administrative burden for the Founder and leadership team.
- A clean, structured system for managing key relationships and follow-ups.
- Increased clarity and intentionality in how time is allocated across the company.
**Who This Role Is For** This will excite you if:
- You take genuine pride in making exceptional people more effective.
- You are obsessively organised and systems-oriented.
- You have strong commercial awareness and judgement.
- You are comfortable operating at pace without sacrificing precision.
- You enjoy being trusted with high standards and high expectations.
- You want to build a long-term career as a world-class Executive Assistant.
- You genuinely love being in the office and around the team - minimum 4 days a week, because that’s where the energy is.
This role is not a chaos-management position. It is a precision, optimisation, and leverage role. You have:
- Significant experience supporting a high-performing CEO or founder (typically 5+ years).
- Proven experience thriving in high-intensity environments (startup, scale-up, PE-backed, etc.) and a genuine preference for this level of pace and performance.
- Demonstrated longevity and discretion.
- Evidence of strong judgement and executive presence.
This Role Is Not Designed For
- Early-career candidates at the beginning of their EA journey
- Individuals exploring a short-term stepping stone into other functions
- High-profile or lifestyle-focused EA roles centred around glamour or personal brand
- Aspiring Chiefs of Staff seeking a transition into strategy
**Why Join Healf**
- Do your life’s best work: Build something that matters, with a team that moves fast and aims high.
- Surround yourself with A+ talent: You’ll work with high-performers who care deeply and raise the standard every day.
- Be a builder: This isn’t a cog-in…
