The Purpose of the Role
The Executive Assistant (EA) provides highly proactive, strategic and operational support to the Managing Director and Operations Director. The role operates as a central coordination point across the business, ensuring executive time is optimised, priorities are aligned, and key activities are executed seamlessly.
Beyond traditional administrative support, this EA acts as a trusted partner, gatekeeper and integrator, enabling both directors to focus on strategic leadership, operational execution and external stakeholder engagement.
The EA will manage complex professional and personal diaries, international travel, meeting cadence and reporting processes, while maintaining professionalism, confidentiality and precision at all times.
Personal Attributes

- They bring a calm, controlled and solutions-focused approach, able to operate at pace across multiple priorities without compromising quality.
- Highly discreet and trustworthy, they handle sensitive information with integrity and professionalism.
- They are proactive rather than reactive, comfortable making decisions within defined parameters, and confident engaging with senior stakeholders both internally and externally.
- Above all, they demonstrate ownership, initiative, attention to detail, adaptability and a strong service mindset, ensuring both Executive Directors’ weeks run with precision and efficiency.
Role Responsibilities
Executive & Personal Diary Management
- Full ownership of complex, dynamic diary management for both Directors (diary consolidation will likely be required!)
- Prioritisation and optimisation of time across strategic, operational and personal commitments
- Coordination of personal appointments and life administration where required
- Proactive conflict resolution and forward productivity planning (short, medium and long horizons)
