Strategic Executive Assistant

Job description

Strategic Executive Assistant to CEO

High-growth care & technology group | Midlands-anchored | Senior, trusted role

I’m looking for a top-tier Executive Assistant to work directly with me as CEO across a fast-moving group spanning care, property, technology and growth projects.

This is not a diary-only EA role. You’ll be my right hand, helping me stay focused, structured and ahead of the noise.

The role

You’ll own the day-to-day execution around me so I can stay in Visionary mode:

• End-to-end diary, inbox and priority management (true gatekeeper level)

• Drafting and handling senior-level emails, WhatsApps and communications in my voice

• Coordinating across SLT, advisors, brokers, lawyers and external partners

• Tracking actions, follow-ups and deadlines across multiple live projects

• Preparing briefs, summaries and packs ahead of meetings and calls

• Keeping systems, files and workflows tight, organised and calm

• Being one step ahead at all times

You’ll be a great fit if you:

• Have significant EA experience supporting a founder/CEO or C-suite

• Are highly organised, commercially aware and unflappable

• Can operate at pace with incomplete information

• Write clearly and confidently, adapting tone instinctively

• Are proactive, detail-driven and quietly assertive

• Love structure, systems and getting things done

• Are discreet, trustworthy and emotionally intelligent

The environment

• Entrepreneurial, fast-moving, high trust

• Multiple businesses and projects running in parallel, primarily UK-based with some overseas interests

• Senior exposure and real influence on how the business operates

• No micromanagement — you’ll be expected to think

Location & working style

This role is Midlands-anchored. While we’re open to candidates from across the UK, regular on-site presence is essential. This is a hands-on, close-to-the-CEO role rather than a fully remote position.

If you’re an EA who enjoys responsibility, strategic thinking, fast paced and being genuinely relied on, I’d love to hear from you.
