Your Role:

You will provide high-level, dedicated support to one C-level executive, ensuring they remain focused on high-impact priorities and that key decisions translate into effective action across the organisation. You will operate as an extension of your executive, managing complex workflows, protecting their time, coordinating stakeholders, and enabling a clear, consistent operating rhythm. 

This role requires exceptional judgement, confidentiality, and the ability to anticipate needs before they surface. You will partner closely with the executive and their teams to streamline processes, reduce friction, and ensure strategic priorities move forward with pace and clarity. 

You’ll be a consistent source of structure, calm, and momentum behind the scenes, bringing a proactive, solutions-driven mindset to everything you do. You will work with a high degree of autonomy, enabling strategic focus by transforming complexity into clear, actionable execution.
