Senior Executive Assistant

Reporting to: Three Senior Executives (CFO, CRO, CTO)
We’re seeking a highly capable, confident, and forward-thinking Senior Executive Assistant to support three senior leaders in a fast-paced, evolving environment.

You’ll be instrumental in driving priorities forward, enabling executive focus, and contributing to high-impact projects that shape our client’s future.
Key Responsibilities:
Executive Support & Strategic Calendar Management
- Own and manage complex, fast-moving calendars across board, investor, and SLT engagements.
- Anticipate conflicts, prioritise meetings, and ensure seamless scheduling.

- Prepare daily briefings, agendas, pre-reads, and follow-ups with precision and foresight.
- Act as a trusted liaison between executives and internal/external stakeholders.
- Draft high-quality communications, presentations, and correspondence.
- Engage confidently with board members, investors, and senior leaders across functions.
- Ensure prompt and appropriate follow-up on all incoming issues and queries.
- Track key deliverables and ensure alignment with quarterly goals and strategic initiatives.
- Partner closely with chiefs of staff, departmental heads, and support functions.
- Handle confidential information with discretion and sound judgement.
- Manage expenses comprehensively and proactively.
- Organise complex international and domestic travel itineraries, including visas, accommodations, and briefing packs.
- Anticipate issues and prepare contingency plans for smooth travel experiences.
- Lead coordination for Go-to-Market strategy rollouts, stakeholder communications, and workshop scheduling.
- Track deliverables and drive alignment across teams—bringing clarity and momentum to every initiative.
- Support leadership offsites, town halls, and internal events from conception to execution.
Beyond core responsibilities, this role offers the opportunity to lead and contribute to high-impact special projects that shape our organisation’s future. These may include:
- Driving cross-functional initiatives that enhance operational efficiency or customer experience
- Piloting new programmes or technologies to support innovation and growth
- Collaborating with senior leadership on strategic planning, change management, or transformation efforts
- Representing the team in global forums, benchmarking exercises, or industry partnerships

- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite and modern collaboration tools (Teams, Slack, Zoom, Notion, etc.)
