Job description
About this role
We're looking for a world-class Executive Assistant to work directly with the CEO across multiple companies and projects. This is not a traditional EA role. You will operate as the CEO's right hand — managing their diary and inbox, joining meetings, planning travel, driving projects forward and making sure nothing, ever, falls through the cracks.
Responsibilities
- - Own and manage the CEO's diary end to end, protecting their time and ensuring every day is structured around what matters most.
- - Manage the CEO's inbox — triaging email, drafting replies in their voice, flagging what needs their attention and handling the rest.
- - Join meetings alongside the CEO, capture actions and drive follow-ups to completion.
- - Prepare briefing notes ahead of key meetings so the CEO walks in fully prepared.
- - Be highly responsive on WhatsApp throughout the day, including outside traditional office hours when priorities require it.
Qualifications and requirements
- - You have a minimum of 5 years' experience as an EA or right hand to a founder, CEO or senior executive, ideally in a fast-growth business.
- - You can hit the ground running — you've run a CEO's diary, inbox, travel and projects before, and you don't need to be shown how.
- - You bring great energy every single day. You're positive, enthusiastic and someone people genuinely enjoy working with — even when the pressure is on.
- - You are exceptionally organised, with systems for everything and a memory that never drops a commitment.
- - You communicate clearly and concisely, in writing and in person, and are confident joining meetings at senior level.
