Senior EA (Hiring Immediately)

Blue Gem Holdings is a fast-paced, hands-on business in the high-growth flexible office market, with a strong culture and a high-performance ethos. The group is growing, with new buildings and a managed office offering being added alongside the serviced portfolio.

As we grow, the pace and demands on our leadership team grow with it. The Senior EA sits at the centre of the Executive Office, working alongside the CEO and Chief of Staff to keep the business organised, accountable and moving forward.

This is not a traditional assistant role. It is a senior, business-facing partnership with direct exposure to leadership decisions, governance, strategic projects and commercial engagement. It suits someone who brings structure, holds people to their commitments and communicates with confidence at every level of the business.

Why this role matters

The role exists so the CEO and Chief of Staff can focus on growth, not on chasing actions or organising meetings. It gives the leadership team the discipline and follow-through that a fast-growing business needs.

In practice, this means every decision is recorded, every action has an owner and a deadline, and nothing agreed at leadership level falls through the gaps.
