Climate Action
Climate Action was founded in 2007 and has been working at the intersection of climate change policy, innovation, and finance.
We do this by creating complex, high-impact hybrid and digital events, engaging with our 140,000 members globally. We partner with an incredible ecosystem of 1,000 impact partners, UN Agencies, and private sector companies.
We are a commercial business with a clear mission: to drive meaningful climate progress through the work we convene. Joining us means contributing to that impact.
Role Purpose:
To provide reliable, proactive support to the CEO and wider business, helping keep day-to-day operations organised, efficient and running smoothly.
About the Role:
This is not a traditional corporate EA role supporting a large board of directors. Instead, it's a varied, hands-on role in a growing company where you'll work closely with the CEO while also helping support the wider business day to day.
One moment you might be managing schedules, helping prepare presentations or organising travel. The next, you could be coordinating onboarding, helping run a client dinner, improving internal processes or making sure the office runs smoothly.
We're looking for someone who enjoys variety, takes ownership, and likes being the person people rely on to keep things organised and moving forward.
