Your Opportunity

This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who wants to be right at the heart of how a business runs. As Executive Assistant, you’ll report to the Chief People Officer and support the wider C-Suite team across People, Marketing, Finance, and Operations. You’ll be a trusted go-to person, helping things run smoothly behind the scenes while also getting exposure to the bigger picture.

This role is perfect for someone who’s naturally organised, curious about how things work, and wants to be part of something meaningful. You’ll be seen as more than an EA you’ll be a key part of the leadership rhythm and a valued voice in the room.

By creating space for the C-Suite to do their best thinking and decision-making, you’ll have a direct impact on how the business runs day to day. You’ll bring clarity to busy schedules, help shape communication that reaches the whole company, and be a steady presence in moments of pace and change. Your ability to stay one step ahead, build trusted relationships, and bring a sense of calm and care to everything you do will make you an essential part of the team.
