The Opportunity
C&C Search is recruiting an exceptional Executive Assistant to Founders for a successful, profitable and ambitious technology business in the City of London.
This is a high-impact Executive Assistant to Founders position supporting two Founders while also helping the wider office and business operate brilliantly. You will become a trusted partner who anticipates requirements, protects the Founders’ time, takes ownership and makes things happen behind the scenes.
Company culture and what makes them great to work for
With approximately 23 employees, this is a collaborative, supportive and low-ego environment with exceptionally high standards. The company is growing, priorities can change quickly and established processes may not always exist. You could be optimising a complex Founder diary in the morning, resolving an office issue at lunchtime and coordinating an important project that afternoon.
The successful Executive Assistant to Founders will find this energising. You will enjoy spotting what needs attention, developing practical solutions and taking responsibility without waiting for detailed instructions. The culture will suit someone confident but not arrogant, polished but not overly corporate, and highly capable without needing recognition or status.
