Our client is a dynamic, UK based, multi-site organisation at a pivotal stage of growth, and are seeking to recruit a highly organised, proactive, and trusted Executive Assistant to become the right hand to their Chief Financial Officer (CFO).

This is a pivotal role at the very heart of their operations. You will be based at Head Office and be the go-to person for their SLT to deliver on strategic priorities, ensuring the seamless management of their professional lives and contributing directly to the success of the business.

The Role:

This is far more than a traditional diary management role. It's about anticipation, discretion, and strategic support. You will be the face of the executive office, liaising with high-level internal and external stakeholders, including corporate finance partners and investment bankers.

Your key responsibilities will include:

  • Complex and proactive diary, email, and travel management for the CFO.
  • Acting as a true gatekeeper and a trusted liaison, representing the executives with professionalism.
  • Preparing and collating documents, reports, and presentations for board meetings and investor conferences.
  • Coordinating high-level meetings, roadshows, and events, including all associated logistics.
  • Managing confidential and sensitive information with the utmost discretion.
  • Taking the initiative to resolve issues and manage tasks independently, often anticipating needs before they arise.
  • Handling administrative tasks such as expenses and document control.

The Person:

Strong culture fit, and a proactive mindset are paramount. We are looking for someone who is calm under pressure, level-headed, and possesses a high degree of emotional intelligence.

  • An experienced Senior PA or EA, who has previously supported C-Suite executives.
  • Incredibly proactive and forward-thinking, with the ability to second-guess needs and take ownership.
  • Possesses exceptional communication skills and the confidence to interact with stakeholders at all levels.
  • Demonstrates unwavering discretion and trustworthiness when handling sensitive information.
  • Highly organised, with superb attention to detail and the ability to manage a complex and varied workload.
  • A self-starter who can drive their own workload.

The Environment & Culture:

You will be joining a small, supportive, and collaborative team of fellow PAs at their head office. Their leaders foster a positive and professional working environment.

  • Hybrid Working: A flexible approach is offered, typically working from home one day per week (Friday), with further flexibility based on the executives' diaries.
  • Strategic Impact: You will be immersed in the strategic direction of a multi-billion-pound business, gaining unparalleled exposure to high-level corporate activities.
  • Benefits: They offer a comprehensive benefits package designed to support you inside and outside of work.

To Apply:

If you are an experienced EA who thrives in a strategic, fast-paced environment at C-Suite level, we would love to hear from you.

Apply asap and get in touch, our client is interviewing w/c 1st December 2025.
