About the Role

We are seeking a highly organised, proactive, and strategic Executive Assistant to support a senior leader within a global organisation.

• Act as a liaison between the senior leader and internal/external stakeholders, handling sensitive information with discretion.
• Support in preparing high-quality briefings, presentations, reports, and correspondence.
• Join and follow up on meetings to capture actions and ensure timely execution.
• Track priorities and ensure alignment with the leader’s goals and wider organisational strategy.
• Coordinate travel logistics, site visits, and in-person meetings across the UK.
• Anticipate needs and act independently to resolve issues before they arise.

About You

• Proven experience as a senior Executive Assistant, ideally within a complex or fast-moving environment.
• Exceptional communication, organisation, and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to handle confidential information with the highest level of integrity and discretion.
• Strategic thinker with strong attention to detail and the ability to manage competing priorities.
• Confident working both independently and as part of a wider leadership and support team.
• Comfortable with regular UK travel and flexible working patterns.
• Strong IT skills and proficiency with tools like Microsoft 365, Teams, and virtual collaboration platforms.

Why Join Us?

• Opportunity to work closely with a senior executive at a strategic level.
• Remote-first culture with travel to dynamic education and leadership environments.
• A mission-led organisation making an impact at scale.
• Competitive salary package and scope for long-term development.
