Job Description:

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

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.
