Job Description & How to Apply Below
If you want a routine, reactive support role, this isn’t for you.
If you want to be at the centre of a major transformation, ensuring focus and high impact execution every single day - this is your opportunity.
Enabling High-Impact Leadership
- Own and manage complex scheduling, ensuring the CEO and MD time is spent on high-impact decisions, strategy and influence. You will also manage the scheduling for our Senior Director.
- Anticipate needs - proactively resolve conflicts before they happen, keep workflows seamless, remove friction, and enable deep focus.
- Manage information flow, distil complexity, and filter requests - acting as a true partner.
- Use AI-powered tools to streamline workflows and free up time for high-value priorities.
- Handle confidential and sensitive information with absolute discretion and professionalism.
- Keep decisions, follow-ups, and priorities moving forward at speed - ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
- Ensure the CEO & MD enter every meeting fully prepared - armed with sharp insights, key context, and clear next steps.
- Support execution of our transformation plan - turning strategy into action and keeping key initiatives on track.
- Track commitments and ensure follow-through, so the right things happen at the right time.
- Own and coordinate governance rhythms - including Board meetings, Leadership Team sessions, and strategic planning cycles.
- Enable seamless internal comms - ensuring alignment, clarity, and rapid decision-making.
- Shape high-impact team engagement - from leadership offsites to annual retreats.
- Be a trusted bridge between the CEO/MD and leaders, board members, and key partners.
- Draft and refine correspondence, presentations, and reports with precision and insight.
- Create clarity in a fast-moving environment - distilling complex information, enabling fast, confident decisions and ensuring the right people know.
That’s why we welcome people from all walks of life who have the skills we seek – whether those skills have been gained through formal working environments or elsewhere.
APPLY IF YOU ARE…

- Exceptional at relationships – You’re confident engaging senior leaders across sectors, investing deep care in relationships, and skilled at strengthening the CEO & MD’s most critical networks.
- A tech early adopter – You use AI for clarity, structure, and speed, and see it as a creative amplifier to sharpen your insights and broaden your perspectives.
- A strong communicator – You are comfortable working with senior leaders and external partners and have strong written and verbal capabilities.
- Able to work at pace – You’ll need to stay on top of multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment and be happy working without a big support structure around you.
- Discreet & professional – You handle sensitive information with absolute discretion.
- A high-energy executor – You zoom out to see the big picture, then zoom back in to execute with precision and speed - driving things forward with pace.
- Are optimistic, bring warmth and good humour to work, have a strong collaborative work ethic and bring positive intent to every situation.
- Have a curious mind and are always open to the insights and perspectives of others.
- Are passionate about being efficient, resourceful, creative and a great problem solver.
