*The ideal candidate will be immediately free or on short notice for this opportunity*
We are on the hunt for a seriously motivated, engaging, super organised Executive Assistant to support an exceptional, down to earth, mega busy and at times demanding MD of a well established Tech business currently launching in the UK – based in their superb London office near Liverpool Street.
If you are a competent EA who enjoys variety and responsibility day to day in looking after a successful and inspiring boss, this could be the role for you. You will need to be able to cope in an initially unstructured environment with the MD being your priority. The MD is inspiring, fun, fast pace and meticulous. A Marketeer at heart, with passion for success and growth.
This is a senior 1.1 role working for a highly entrepreneurial MD. Given the nature of the environment (scale up) the pace can be relentless at times and the environment ever changing and unstructured (initially at least). We are looking for an EA who is resilient and will not give up when challenges arise. This role will include some light travel on occasion to other UK offices.
It is a superb time to join the company – we are looking for an Executive Assistant who wants to be part of something incredible. We need an EA who can plan intelligently – including scheduling downtime for a busy individual. Attention to detail, energy, and the ability to work efficiently without “dropping the ball” is essential.
The right candidate will be experienced at MD/CEO level, able to think on their feet and want to be truly involved in the business. Everyone who works within the organisation is incredibly passionate about what they do as an organisation, and the company culture is friendly, fun and social. Seriously dynamic company and people.
Full job details given at interview – but you can expect a full 360 degree all encompassing EA role including elements of:
Role:
- Diary management
- Organising Travel (UK and Internationally)
- Email management and gate keeping - being an ambassador of the brand as well as an extension of the MD
- Office management duties as required as an addition
- Implement new processes and procedures within the office
- Taking notes at meetings and chasing individuals up on actions
- Keeping things running smoothly for the MD in his day to day working life- liaising with different people both internally and externally.
- The EA will need to upward manage and very much take control (without “mothering”) as well as being a true right hand
Requirements:
- Ideally experience supporting an entrepreneur/MD/CEO.
- Preferential to have worked for a start up or within a scale up environment as an EA/Business Assistant.
- CVs will ideally reflect loyalty.
- Graduate or graduate calibre.
- Must be a team player and able to “roll sleeves up”
- Must have excellent attention to detail, highly confident and extremely organised.
- Excellent communication skills both verbally and written – client facing through and through
- Well presented and professional at all times – but also a sense of humour!
- Ability to prioritise workload and manage own time effectively.
- Must be resilient with a can do attitude.
- Ideally experience from within Technology/within a Technologically driven business
- The ability to work alone at times and often unsupervised - the ability to hit the ground running.
- A creative thinker - someone able to think one step ahead and outside of the box.
- Top English skills written and spoken and used to overseeing emails and flagging up issue/checking diary clashes etc.
