Executive Assistant to Chief Financial Officer

Executive Assistant to Chief Financial Officer | Perm | Hybrid Working | up to £70,000

Location: Crawley & London Liverpool Street

Our client is a unique, industry-leading pensions organisation with a truly purpose-driven approach. As a not-for-profit, everything they generate is reinvested back into the business and wider community, creating a culture focused on continuous improvement and long-term impact.

They are now looking for a bright, highly organised, and engaging Executive Assistant to support their Chief Financial Officer. This is far more than a traditional EA role. The CFO is seeking a true right hand and “second brain” someone who can operate at pace, think strategically, and add real value at a senior level.

This is a hybrid position split between their HQ in Crawley and their London Liverpool Street office, so flexibility to travel between both locations is essential.

In this role, you’ll take ownership of complex, back-to-back diary management, acting as a key gatekeeper to ensure the CFO’s time is protected and prioritised effectively. You’ll be comfortable navigating constantly shifting priorities and thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same. Alongside this, you’ll support with board and governance processes, including preparing high-quality reports and materials.

The incoming candidate must have previously supported a CFO in a demanding, fast-paced environment, ideally within financial services or pensions, although strong candidates from other sectors will also be considered. You’ll be proactive, commercially aware, and confident operating at senior stakeholder level.

Applicants must have previously supported a CFO.

Key Responsibilities:

• Complex diary management and scheduling across multiple priorities
• Acting as a gatekeeper to the CFO, ensuring optimal time management
• Supporting board and governance processes
• Preparing reports, presentations, and key documentation
• Managing shifting priorities with efficiency and sound judgement
• Building strong relationships with senior stakeholders

What’s on Offer:

• 25 days annual leave + birthday off
• Enhanced pension scheme
• Opportunity to work abroad for one month each year (in addition to annual leave)

This is an outstanding opportunity for an experienced EA or Business Assistant looking to step into a more strategic, high-impact role within a purpose-led organisation.
