  * 

    Building strong relationships with internal stakeholders, senior leaders and external partners

  * 

    Preparing presentations, reports, briefing documents and correspondence

  * 

    Coordinating leadership meetings, board meetings and business reviews

  * 

    Capturing actions and ensuring follow-up activity is completed across the organisation

  * 

    Supporting strategic projects, research activities and business initiatives

  * 

    Tracking key deliverables and helping drive accountability across teams

  * 

    Handling highly confidential information with professionalism and discretion

About You

You'll ideally have:

  * 

    Previous experience supporting a Managing Director, CEO or senior executive

  * 

    Experience operating within a fast-paced commercial environment

  * 

    Exceptional organisational and prioritisation skills

  * 

    Strong written and verbal communication skills

  * 

    The ability to anticipate challenges and proactively find solutions

  * 

    Excellent stakeholder management and relationship-building skills

  * 

    Strong commercial awareness and business acumen

  * 

    High levels of discretion, professionalism and emotional intelligence

  * 

    Confidence working with Microsoft Office and modern collaboration tools

What's in it for You?

  * 

    Salary of £45,000 £55,000 depending on experience

  * 

    A varied and highly visible role supporting a senior business leader

  * 

    Direct exposure to strategic business decisions and leadership activity

  * 

    The opportunity to work within an ambitious and growing organisation

  * 

    A collaborative and high-performing working environment
