Company & Role
Harte Recruitment is partnering with an ambitious, purpose-led property business to appoint an exceptional Executive Personal Assistant who wants far more than a traditional support role.
As the Executive Personal Assistant to the CEO, you'll become their trusted right hand, creating structure, driving accountability and ensuring strategic priorities become measurable results. Following an initial shadowing period, you'll work as an extension of the CEO, anticipating challenges, removing obstacles and helping the leadership team stay focused on what matters most as the business continues to scale.
