About the Role
We are looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant with a ‘can-do’ attitude to support two C-Suite executives.
This role would suit a highly personable individual who is confident managing two very different senior executives. It requires someone who can calmly adapt to a busy and dynamic environment and who is not easily fazed by last-minute schedule changes.
As a newly created role, it is important that you can add value from day one: you will be able to work independently and have processes to bring to the table, and an understanding of how to build relationships from the start. Ideally, you will have at least 3 years of prior experience supporting in a similar role. You will be highly organised, efficient and not easily overwhelmed.
It is a fluid, fast-paced and high-performance environment, but also one which is built with culture and people at the heart of the business. As such, it is a highly sociable and fun place to work, and the ideal person will enjoy this environment.
Whilst a standalone role, this position will work collaboratively alongside the Assistant team.
