Executive Assistant to CEO

About the Role

We are looking for a highly skilled Senior Executive Assistant to provide dedicated support to the CEO of a rapidly expanding, founder-driven company. This position is ideal for an ambitious and motivated professional who excels in a demanding, fast-paced environment and strives for impeccable execution. The CEO is deeply involved and detail-oriented, valuing individuals who can anticipate needs, eliminate obstacles, and consistently deliver top-quality results.

This role focuses on exceptional administrative execution, sound professional judgment, and creating operational leverage for a high-velocity CEO. It is important to note that this position is not a strategic Chief-of-Staff role.

Key Responsibilities

• Managing complex executive support tasks including coordination of the CEO's external calendar.
• Organizing extensive international travel plans across various time zones.
• Representing the CEO with professionalism when engaging with clients, investors, and board members.
• Preparing meeting documents, briefings, and executive communications.
• Leading two Executive Assistants who support the broader executive team.
• Coordinating executive meetings, corporate events, and leadership workshops.
• Handling the CEO's personal and business priorities as needed.

Essential Requirements

• At least 5 years of experience supporting top-level executives such as Board members, CEOs, founders, or C-suite leaders.
• Minimum of 3 years working within UK-based technology companies, scale-ups, or fast-growing tech firms.
• Proven track record supporting ambitious founders or CEOs operating in dynamic and rapidly evolving environments.
• Experience managing or mentoring Executive Assistants or administrative support teams.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills with confidence engaging with investors, clients, and board members.
• Strong organizational skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• A proactive and solutions-oriented mindset, capable of working independently with minimal guidance.
• Demonstrated career stability and professional growth in previous roles.

Culture and Expectations

This role suits a very particular Executive Assistant profile. The CEO manages strategic priorities independently and requires an EA who can flawlessly execute plans, foresee potential challenges, and uphold the highest standards without constant supervision. Trust is earned by consistently performing with reliability and accuracy from the outset. The ideal candidate thrives on a fast pace, complexity, and accountability, and finds fulfillment in delivering exceptional professional standards.

Logistics

• Full-time, office-based position located in London.
• Five working days per week onsite.
• Availability for occasional work beyond regular hours as required by travel schedules or business demands.

Additional Information

This is a remarkable career opportunity for a seasoned Executive Assistant with experience in high-growth technology environments, seeking to collaborate closely with a motivated founder and be integral to a scaling business.
