We design, build, and operate distributed generation, storage, and grid systems that enable economic growth while advancing our mission of universal access to sustainable energy.

This role is central to ensuring the smooth day-to-day functioning of the CEO's office, enabling effective prioritisation and communication. You will report directly to the CEO and interface regularly with the Senior Leadership Team and high-level external stakeholders, including governments, utilities, investors, and development partners. You will manage complex logistics across multiple time zones and provide the briefing materials necessary for the CEO to operate confidently across multiple geographies.

• Provide comprehensive diary and correspondence management, ensuring appropriate prioritisation and professional stakeholder access to the CEO.

• Coordinate international travel and logistics, specifically supporting activity across our core markets in sub-Saharan Africa and our UK headquarters.
• Support the Office of the CEO by assisting with Board and Shareholder-related activity and managing ad-hoc strategic projects.

We're looking for a service-minded and proactive self-starter with exceptional judgement. We value initiative and a relentless focus on making things happen; your ability to maintain high standards of confidentiality and professionalism is crucial to the success of this role.

• Proven experience as an Executive Assistant or similar senior role supporting a C-suite executive.
• Exceptional organisational skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment.
• Excellent communication skills, including the ability to distill complex information into clear briefing materials.
• Confidence working across different cultures and geographies, particularly in international or emerging market contexts.
• Strong attention to detail and a proactive approach to problem-solving.
• Experience supporting Boards or investor-facing activity (desirable).
• Willingness to travel occasionally to sub-Saharan Africa or other global locations.

Joining ARC Power means becoming part of an experienced team with a shared passion for transforming energy access across Africa.

• Competitive remuneration
• Hybrid work options (based in our new Central London headquarters)
• International exposure in the renewable energy sector
• Additional perks and benefits

At ARC Power, we believe in empowering everyone to be their authentic selves. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are at the core of our values, and we are dedicated to creating a welcoming and supportive environment for our team, partners, and the communities we serve across Europe and Africa.

If you share our passion for making a difference and want to help deliver energy access at scale across Africa, we'd love to hear from you. The recruitment will be ongoing until we find the right candidate.
