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.
