Executive Assistant & Office Manager to the Founder & CEO
About the Opportunity
We are an ambitious, customer-focused company with exciting plans for continued growth across the United Kingdom.
We are looking for a highly organised, professional and motivated individual to join our team as Executive Assistant & Office Manager to the Founder & CEO. This is an important position within the business. The successful candidate will work directly alongside the Founder & CEO while also taking responsibility for the day-to-day management and smooth running of the office.
We are looking for someone who wants more than simply an administrative role. This is an opportunity to become a trusted member of the business, take ownership of the office environment and operations and develop a long-term career as the company continues to grow.
The Role
As Executive Assistant & Office Manager, you will have two key areas of responsibility:
- Providing high-level executive and administrative support to the Founder & CEO.
- Taking responsibility for managing the office and ensuring its day-to-day operations are organised, efficient and professional.
You will be expected to take ownership of the office, coordinate priorities, support colleagues and ensure that the working environment and administrative functions of the business operate effectively.
This is a position of trust and responsibility. The successful candidate must be confident working independently, using their initiative, making sensible decisions within their responsibilities and escalating important matters to the Founder & CEO when appropriate.
Key Responsibilities
Office Management & Operations
A major part of this position is responsibility for the effective day-to-day management of the office. You will be expected to:
- Take responsibility for the day-to-day running and organisation of the office.
- Ensure the office operates efficiently, professionally and to a consistently high standard.
- Coordinate daily office activities and administrative priorities.
- Support and coordinate office-based staff and liaise effectively with remote staff where required.
- Ensure tasks, deadlines and operational requirements are followed through.
- Maintain an organised, professional and welcoming working environment.
- Identify problems or areas requiring improvement and take appropriate action.
- Ensure company procedures and operational standards are followed.
- Coordinate with suppliers and other business contacts as required.
- Ensure office records, documentation and administrative systems are maintained accurately.
- Support the Founder & CEO with business planning and operational improvements.
- Help ensure company objectives and operational targets are achieved.
- Take ownership of day-to-day office issues and escalate significant matters to the Founder & CEO when appropriate.
- Proactively identify what needs to be done next, take initiative and prioritise tasks independently, rather than relying solely on the Founder & CEO to provide instructions or allocate work.
The successful candidate must be comfortable accepting responsibility and accountability for the smooth running of the office rather than simply assisting with office administration.
Executive Support
Working directly with the Founder & CEO, you will:
- Provide high-level executive and administrative support.
- Manage diaries, appointments and meetings.
- Manage and assist with business correspondence.
- Prepare reports, presentations, meeting agendas and meeting minutes.
- Prioritise tasks and help ensure important deadlines are achieved.
- Maintain organised records and documentation.
- Follow up on actions and commitments arising from meetings.
- Assist the Founder & CEO with the organisation and coordination of business priorities.
- Handle sensitive and confidential information with complete discretion.
