Executive Assistant to Managing Director - Operations

Are you a high-calibre professional who thrives on challenge and possesses the steel to hold the line in a fast-paced operational environment?

On behalf of our client, we are seeking a formidable Executive Assistant to serve as the strategic right hand to the Managing Director of Operations. This is not a traditional "support" role; it is a position for a fierce, proactive, and commercially minded individual who will act as a true extension of the MD.

We aren't looking for a "yes" person. We are looking for a partner with the confidence to push back, challenge assumptions, and provide constructive scrutiny. You will be the "eyes and ears" of the business, ensuring that priorities are met, data is interrogated, and the MD’s time is leveraged for maximum impact.

If you are a self-directed force of nature with an analytical brain and a relentless focus on outcomes, we want to hear from you.

  * Ensure important information is surfaced and escalated appropriately

  * Maintain clear, consistent and professional communication at all times

  * Act as a key point of contact for internal and external stakeholders

Operational Oversight

  * Track key initiatives, actions and deliverables across the business

  * Investigate anomalies or inconsistencies and seek clarity

  * Translate data into clear, actionable insight

Decision Support

  * Ensure the MDO has the right information at the right time

  * Provide recommendations, not just information

  * Act as “eyes and ears” across the business

The successful candidate will have:

  * Ability to analyse information and identify issues or inconsistencies

  * Experience working with data, reports or analysis (academic or professional)

  * Strong organisational and stakeholder management skills

  * High level of professionalism and discretion

Benefits:
Our client offers a competitive salary and an excellent benefits package designed to support both professional development and personal wellbeing, including:

  * An additional day of annual leave to celebrate your birthday!

  * Free access to an extensive E-Learning Platform (40+ courses) to support ongoing career growth.
