Think the AA is just about roadside assistance? Think again.
For over a century, we've been evolving and adapting. Today, as the nation's leading motoring organisation, we offer a wide range of products and services to millions of customers. From roadside assistance to home and motor insurance, and the latest driving technologies, we have it all. As we continue to expand, diversify, and modernise, joining us as an Executive Assistant means you'll play a crucial role in our success and be part of this exciting motoring journey.
This is the job
Are you an exceptional organiser who thrives in a fast-paced environment and loves being at the centre of the action?
We're looking for an experienced Executive Assistant to support a senior technology leader within one of the most dynamic areas of our business. This is a highly visible role offering genuine variety, exposure to strategic business activity and the opportunity to play a key role in helping teams operate effectively and deliver against ambitious goals.
As a trusted partner, you'll bring structure, organisation and proactive support to a busy leadership environment. From managing complex priorities and coordinating key business activities, to supporting governance and helping leaders stay focused on what matters most, you'll be instrumental in enabling success across the function.
No two days are the same. One day you could be coordinating leadership meetings and preparing executive briefings, the next supporting a business initiative, organising a leadership event or collaborating with stakeholders from across the organisation.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll become an integral part of a high performing team where your contribution is valued, your ideas are welcomed and your impact is visible every day. If you're naturally proactive, thrive on building strong relationships and enjoy working in a collaborative and supportive environment, we'd love to hear from you.
Please note, this role will require the successful individual to attend our Basingstoke HQ occasionally.
What will I be doing?
- Acting as a trusted partner to a senior leader and leadership team, providing seamless executive support and helping drive operational effectiveness.
- Managing complex diaries, priorities and schedules, ensuring time is optimised and key business objectives remain on track.
- Coordinating leadership meetings, governance forums, team events and business activities, including the preparation of briefing materials and presentations.
- Attending meetings, capturing actions and decisions, and driving follow up activity to ensure commitments are delivered.
- Building strong relationships across the organisation, acting as a key point of contact and facilitating effective communication between stakeholders.
- Supporting strategic initiatives, projects and team activities through planning, coordination, reporting and administrative support.
What do I need?
- Proven experience as an Executive Assistant supporting senior leaders within a large, fast paced and complex organisation.
- Exceptional organisational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities, competing deadlines and changing demands with confidence.
- Strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to build credibility and influence at all levels.
