We’re looking for an Executive business assistant to join our Strategy & Enablement function, reporting into the Chief of staff office and working closely with our Executive (EXCO) and Commercial teams. This is a broad, hands-on role designed to support the smooth running of the business through excellent coordination, organisation and operational support. As we continue to grow, we’re looking for someone proactive, adaptable and highly organised who enjoys making things happen behind the scenes and keeping teams operating effectively.
You’ll join a collaborative, fast-moving environment where no two days look the same. The Chief of Staff function plays a key role in enabling the wider business, supporting leadership priorities, coordinating strategic activities and helping teams operate efficiently. This role offers broad exposure across the organisation, close interaction with senior stakeholders and the opportunity to develop into wider operational or strategic roles over time.
Coordinating EXCO meetings, leadership sessions and recurring business meetings
Organising workshops, offsites and commercial team sessions across multiple stakeholders
Managing meeting logistics including room bookings, catering, travel and accommodation
Supporting board meeting coordination and governance administration
Handling operational and administrative tasks that help the business run smoothly
Coordinating with internal teams and external partners to manage schedules and logistics
Maintaining trackers, actions and follow-ups to ensure strong operational execution
Supporting process improvements and helping improve ways of working across teams, trough automation and enablement of great experience in every interaction.
You’re highly organised with excellent attention to detail and strong follow-through
You’re confident writing professional communications and interacting with a range of stakeholders
You’re proactive, positive and comfortable managing multiple priorities in a fast-moving environment
You’re happy rolling up your sleeves and supporting a wide variety of operational and administrative tasks, and finding ways to automate them with AI or other tools
You’re comfortable working independently, dealing with ambiguity and figuring things out when needed, while maintaining outstanding experience in every interaction
You have experience in a role where you’ve helped others stay organised, operate effectively and deliver a great experience. We’re less focused on specific backgrounds or career paths, and more interested in your work ethic, curiosity and drive to make a meaningful impact in a scaling business.
You have strong stakeholder management and communication skills
Experience working in a startup, tech or fast-paced environment is desirable
Familiarity with tools such as Microsoft suite, Slack, Outlook, Atlassian suite, HubSpot, ChatGPT (or another AI agent) is desirable
You’ll get exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision-making across the business
You’ll be part of our AI transformation journey by enabling automation of manual processes across the business
You’ll help create a brilliant experience for colleagues, customers and prospective customers through clear communication and thoughtful coordination.

You’ll have clear development potential into broader operations or Chief of Staff-type responsibilities
You’ll join a collaborative, supportive team with ambitious growth plans.
You’re looking for a highly traditional EA role. This position is broader, more flexible and includes a mix of coordination and administrative responsibilities beyond classic executive support
You see practical admin tasks as beneath your role. Success here means being equally happy supporting important meetings and ordering the sandwiches when needed
You prefer working in a structured environment and require a lot of top-down direction. This role suits someone who can adapt and help where needed in a growing business
You struggle with accuracy or attention to detail. The role involves communications and logistics where mistakes can have a real impact
You’re not comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Our speed and scalability are what set us apart; you need to be able to act quickly and think on your feet
