Our client, a well-established organisation based in Amersham, is looking for an exceptionally talented and commercially aware Executive Assistant to support their Managing Director.
This is far more than a traditional EA position. You’ll act as a trusted right hand to the MD, helping to drive accountability, coordinate key stakeholders and ensure important business decisions are followed through to completion. The role offers significant autonomy and the opportunity to become a central figure within a growing and fast-paced organisation.
You’ll be responsible for managing the MD’s diary and priorities, coordinating meetings, handling communications, preparing reports and maintaining momentum across key business initiatives. Acting as an extension of the MD’s office, you’ll ensure actions are tracked, stakeholders are engaged and deadlines are met.
This is a fully office based role, Monday to Friday, 8-4 or 8.30-4.30.
Key duties include:
- Managing a complex executive diary, travel arrangements and scheduling priorities
- Screening and responding to communications on behalf of the MD
- Preparing agendas, attending meetings, taking minutes and tracking actions through to completion
- Coordinating management reports and executive briefings
- Supporting client relationship management and business development activity
- Liaising with senior leaders to monitor progress against agreed actions
- Handling confidential business and personnel matters with discretion
- Providing occasional personal and logistical support where required
Skills/Experience
- Previous experience supporting a Managing Director, CEO, Founder or senior executive
- Outstanding organisational skills and attention to detail
- Strong written and verbal communication skills
- Confidence dealing with senior stakeholders and external clients
- A proactive approach with the ability to work independently
- Excellent Microsoft 365 skills, including Outlook, Word, Excel and Teams
