As Executive Assistant, you’ll play a key role in keeping the Energy business running smoothly by:

• Managing a complex and constantly evolving executive diary, ensuring the Managing Director's time is aligned to business priorities.
• Acting as a trusted gatekeeper, managing communications and prioritising competing demands.
• Preparing high-quality meeting briefings, presentations and board papers.
• Coordinating leadership meetings, operational reviews and governance forums across the Energy business.
• Capturing actions, tracking progress and ensuring accountability following executive and board meetings.
• Managing confidential correspondence and communications on behalf of the Managing Director.
• Coordinating complex travel arrangements and producing detailed itineraries.
• Organising leadership events, client meetings and business off‑sites from planning through to delivery.
• Managing executive expenses and ensuring timely reconciliation of corporate credit card statements.
• Working closely with Executive Assistants across the wider business to ensure seamless coordination of senior leadership activity.
• Continuously identifying opportunities to improve processes and ways of working.

You’ll already have experience supporting senior executives, ideally at Managing Director or Board level, and you’ll be comfortable operating in a fast‑moving commercial environment.

You’ll also bring:

• Significant experience supporting senior leaders or executives.
• Outstanding organisational and planning skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Strong commercial awareness and sound judgement.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys making a real impact, takes pride in delivering exceptional support and thrives in an environment where initiative, professionalism and collaboration are valued.

If you’re ready for a role where you’ll genuinely influence the effectiveness of a Managing Director and the wider leadership team, we’d love to hear from you.
