Executive Assistant to the CEO ⭐
Permanent - Fulltime on site
Location – Farnborough
The best Executive Assistants don't just manage diaries, they create capacity, build connections, drive efficiencies, and enable leaders to perform at their best.
At QinetiQ, we're looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to our CEO to join us in a highly visible and influential role at the heart of the organisation.
This is more than executive support. We're seeking a trusted partner who will work closely with our CEO, building strong relationships and networks across the business and beyond, driving efficiencies through technology and smarter ways of working, and helping ensure strategic priorities are delivered.
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.
As the face of the CEO's Office, you'll be a confident communicator, an outstanding organiser, and someone who thrives on bringing order to complexity. You'll also be exceptional in the fundamentals, managing a complex, demanding, and ever-changing diary, coordinating meetings and travel, handling communications, and ensuring the smooth running of the CEO's day-to-day activities.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Consultative, proactive, and solutions-focused
- Passionate about continuous improvement and innovation
- Tech-savvy and comfortable driving efficiencies through digital tools
- An exceptional relationship builder and communicator
- Flexible, adaptable, and resilient
- A genuine team player who leads through influence, not hierarchy
- Experienced supporting senior leaders in fast-paced environments

A word of caution: this is not a role for someone seeking a steady, predictable, structured, or routine working environment. The CEO's Office is a fast-paced, high-pressure environment where priorities can change quickly. We're looking for an outstanding EA who remains calm, upbeat, and resilient whilst operating at pace and managing competing demands.
If you thrive on challenge, enjoy working closely with senior leadership, and want to make a genuine impact in a role where no two days are the same, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today and help shape the impact, effectiveness, and success of QinetiQ's CEO Office.
