Executive Assistant

We’re looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to become a true strategic partner to our Chief Operating Officer.

This is not a traditional EA role. You’ll sit at the heart of the business, helping drive priorities, coordinate high-impact initiatives, and keep executive operations running seamlessly in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

Working closely with senior leadership, you’ll be trusted to anticipate needs, manage competing priorities with confidence, and act as a key connector across teams and stakeholders.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing the COO’s diary, inbox, travel, and competing priorities
• Supporting Executive Committee, Board, and leadership meetings
• Preparing presentations, briefings, and business communications
• Tracking actions and driving follow-through across teams
• Building strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders
• Identifying opportunities to improve processes and efficiency
• Handling confidential information with professionalism and discretion

I’m looking for someone who:

• Has previous experience in a fast-paced corporate administrative/EA role
• Is highly organised, adaptable, and calm under pressure
• Communicates confidently both verbally and in writing
• Has strong stakeholder management and problem-solving skills
• Is proficient in Microsoft Office, particularly PowerPoint
• Has an interest in AI and using technology to improve ways of working

Experience within legal, insurance, or financial services environments would be advantageous.
