We have a fantastic opportunity for an exceptional EA to CEO to join a rapidly growing, dynamic and entrepreneurial business within the philanthropic sector. This is an incredibly exciting time to join the company, with ambitious growth plans and a young, hardworking and collaborative team. The CEO is personable, driven and works at pace, so we are looking for someone who can act as a true right-hand, bringing energy, initiative and excellent organisational skills to the role.

The Role:

• Providing seamless EA support to the CEO, including complex diary and inbox management
• Coordinating Board meetings, senior stakeholders and leadership meetings
• Taking ownership of projects and supporting wider business operations
• Leading and developing the EA team
• Managing international travel, logistics and changing priorities
• Championing new technology, systems and automation to improve efficiency
• Working closely with the Chief of Staff to ensure the smooth running of the CEO's office

About You:

• An experienced EA with strong operational and project management skills
• Proactive, personable, dynamic and confident, with a great sense of humour
• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
• Comfortable working at pace and adapting to constantly changing priorities
• Tech-savvy and enthusiastic about implementing new systems and ways of working
• Ideally experienced in managing other EAs or PAs
• Collaborative, hands-on and happy to get stuck in wherever needed
• Flexible and responsive, with an understanding that occasional early mornings, evenings and weekends may be required

This is a brilliant opportunity for an ambitious EA who enjoys being at the heart of a business, thrives on variety and wants to make a real impact in a growing organisation.
