Executive Assistant

Executive Assistant

Henley-in-Arden | £35,000| Full-time | Site Travel Required

This is not a traditional EA role.

If you’re looking for a quiet diary-management job, this isn’t it. We’re looking for a sharp, proactive, commercially aware Executive Assistant to support a Finance Director who operates across finance, IT, operations, and wider business strategy.

You’ll be a right-hand partner, not just an administrator.

What You’ll Actually Be Doing:

• Managing a constantly shifting diary and priorities
• Acting as a sounding board on business decisions
• Supporting with reporting, admin, and statutory tasks
• Preparing documents that need to be right first time
• Travelling to sites regularly to understand how the business really works
• Getting involved in operational and commercial discussions
• Spotting problems before they become problems
• Handling highly confidential information—discretion is non-negotiable

What This Role Demands:

• You use initiative—you don’t wait to be told
• You have commercial awareness
• You can handle pressure
• You’re comfortable being around senior leadership and speaking up
• You’re happy to travel and get stuck into the reality of the business

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven EA/PA experience at senior level
• Ideally supported a Finance Director or worked in a finance-led environment
• Strong communication skills—you can adapt your style and get your point across clearly
• Highly organised, detail-focused, and reliable
• Comfortable dealing with sensitive and confidential information

This Role Is NOT For You If:

• You need constant direction or hand-holding
• You’ve only worked in highly structured corporate environments doing one narrow task
• You’re not comfortable with change, pressure, or unpredictability
• You’re unwilling to travel or engage with the wider business

Why This Role?

• Real exposure to how a business operates—not just a desk job
• Work directly with senior leadership
• Broad, varied role where you’ll learn fast and have impact
• No two days are the same

If you’re switched on, proactive, and want a role where you’ll genuinely make a difference—apply now.
