Executive Assistant to Chief Executive Officer

Job description / Role

This is a pivotal role within a fast moving and very exciting start-up organisation. Reporting directly to the CEO, the Executive Assistant will act as gatekeeper and general right hand to this particularly entrepreneurial gentleman who is already extremely successful in his field.

You will be a mature and experienced business support professional who is able to work in a fast paced, and at times exceptionally demanding, environment and be of a nature to immerse yourself fully into the role becoming an integral part of a business which will provide substantial rewards long term.

You will support him in both his professional and personal commitments and be a trusted 'go-to' member of the team who can be relied on to think on their feet and anticipate needs whilst maintaining the highest levels of accuracy, efficiency and confidentiality in all that you do.

You will have the highest level of accuracy with an eye for detail and superb grammar. You will be extremely articulate in your own communication and will work closely with the CEO to ensure he is on top of all of his commitments and responsibilities, following up appropriately.

Requirements

We are seeking a candidate who has a minimum of ten years' experience supporting C-suite executives and is aware of the demands that go with such a role. This is not a traditional '9-5' role and a degree of flexibility in terms of schedule and working hours is absolutely paramount.

You will have the highest level of organization skills with superb written and spoken English. Equally, you will have the gravitas to represent the CEO where required and prove yourself as an indispensable 'right hand'

This role will reward the successful candidate appropriately whilst recognizing the experience and value such a candidate will bring to the role.

Candidates who can join immediately are preferred but all strong candidate applications are welcomed.
