London, England
Executive Assistant
- Location: London – Hybrid, with approx. three days per week in the London office (including Tuesday). The EA team provides onsite cover between 8am–5pm.
- Contract: Permanent, 37.5 hours. There are 5 roles available.
- Salary: £50,000 per annum
We’re looking for highly organised, proactive and resilient Executive Assistants to provide exceptional support to an Executive Director, wider directorate, and play a pivotal role in our CEO Office. This is not a traditional EA role — it’s ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys variety, and takes pride in operating as a trusted, strategic partner. You’ll anticipate needs, drive priorities, and help ensure the Executive Director, Senior Leadership Team and directorate operate at their best.
Responsibilities:
- Act as an extension of an Executive Director — managing priorities, protecting focus and enabling effective decision-making.
- Take full ownership of diary and inbox management, making informed decisions, resolving clashes and ensuring full preparation for all commitments.
- Lead and coordinate meetings and events, preparing agendas, minutes and follow-up actions, while continually improving meeting effectiveness.
- Plan and support complex events, VIP visits, team activities and site visits.
- Produce high-quality briefings, reports and presentations for senior and Board audiences, and oversee all Board and Committee papers on behalf of the directorate.
- Manage correspondence in line with policies, drafting responses independently.
- Oversee travel, expenses, budget setting, purchase orders and financial processes.
- Lead onboarding, IT setup and induction planning for new starters.
- Maintain HR systems, deadlines and policies to ensure full compliance.
- Provide administrative support to SLT members and collaborate with the wider EA network, offering absence cover where required.
- Support London office operations, including post management, contractor liaison, stock checks, H&S requirements and facilities coordination.
Qualifications/Requirements:
- Significant EA/PA experience at Executive Director level.
- Excellent digital capability and strong Microsoft Office skills.
- Understanding of AI and confidence in promoting its use.
- High professionalism, discretion and strong written accuracy.
- A calm, solutions-focused approach with strong resilience.
- Exceptional attention to detail and ability to work at pace, anticipate needs and operate independently.
Join us and play a vital role at the heart of the organisation — supporting senior leadership and contributing to a high-performing EA team.
