EA to CEO

This is an opportunity to work alongside an inspirational, ambitious CEO who is building something remarkable. You'll be at the heart of the business, anticipating needs before they arise, creating order from complexity, and ensuring the CEO can focus on driving the company forwards. You'll be a true business partner, someone who thrives on making an impact and takes enormous pride in operating at the very highest level.

If you're someone who loves being one step ahead, enjoys solving problems before anyone else even knows they exist, and takes ownership of everything you do, this could be the career-defining role you've been waiting for.

You'll already have experience supporting a CEO, Founder or other senior executive, ideally within a high-growth, scientific, technical or engineering-led organisation.

You'll also be someone who:

• Has exceptional organisational skills and effortlessly manages multiple competing priorities, even when the pace is relentless.
• Thrives in a high-performance environment, setting exceptionally high standards for yourself and those around you.
• Is confident having honest, direct conversations that help keep momentum and drive progress.
• Possesses outstanding written and verbal communication skills, with the confidence and judgement to interact professionally with investors, Board members and senior stakeholders.
• Handles highly confidential information with complete discretion, integrity and professionalism.
• Is digitally savvy, embracing technology and AI-enabled productivity tools to continually improve ways of working.
• Has a genuine curiosity about science, deeptech or emerging technologies. You don't need a scientific background, but you'll enjoy working alongside some of the brightest minds in the industry.
• Is happy to be based in Cambridge, with occasional travel between company sites and to London when required.
• Enjoys being part of a collaborative, ambitious team where everyone is working towards something extraordinary.

This CEO is looking for much more than an Executive Assistant.

They are looking for someone they can trust implicitly. Someone who is loyal, proactive, resourceful and utterly dependable. Someone who naturally takes ownership, spots opportunities to improve, and knows what needs doing before they're asked.

You'll be calm under pressure, resilient, highly emotionally intelligent and genuinely invested in the success of the CEO and the wider business. You'll take pride in delivering excellence every single day and won't settle for "good enough."

This is your chance to join a business at a pivotal stage of its journey, one that's attracting attention across Cambridge and beyond. You'll work with an inspirational leader, become an integral part of a hugely ambitious team, and play a key role in supporting the continued success of a company with an exciting future ahead.

If you're looking for a role where you can truly make a difference, be valued as a trusted partner, and build a long-term career within an exceptional business, I'd love to hear from you.
