LOCATION: Milton Keynes
HYBRID WORKING: Our current hybrid working policy requires a minimum of 60% of working time to be based in the Milton Keynes office. However, flexibility is expected and, given the nature of this role and the need to provide consistent, in-person support to the CEO and CFO, candidates should expect to be office-based for the majority of the working week, with full-time office attendance required when business needs dictate.
HOURS / CONTRACT TYPE: Full time permanent
CLOSING DATE: 21st October
About the Role:
We're looking for an Executive Office Manager to be the trusted partner to our CEO and CFO, ensuring executive priorities, governance activities, and strategic initiatives are delivered effectively.

Working at the heart of the business, you'll help drive decision-making, governance, communication, and executive effectiveness.
What you’ll be doing:
- Providing proactive support to our CEO and CFO, ensuring they are fully prepared for key meetings, events, and strategic discussions.
- Coordinating Board of Management packs, Commercial Steering Group packs, and executive governance activities.
- Managing multiple priorities, projects, and deadlines simultaneously while maintaining exceptional attention to detail.
- Analysing and consolidating complex information into clear, concise, executive-level insights and recommendations.
- Building trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across the business, Volkswagen Group, our Brands, and the retailer network.
- Coordinating high-profile meetings, sales conferences, investor events, and executive activities.
- Identifying opportunities to improve processes through automation, reporting, and more efficient ways of working.
- Acting as a calm and credible point of contact within a fast-paced Executive Office environment, handling confidential matters with discretion and professionalism.
