Job Description

High-end office service provider | 5 days in the office. An opportunity offering long term progression into a strategic Chief of Staff position. The role is offered on a temp-to-perm basis, so it is important that candidates are comfortable beginning in a temporary capacity with the intention of moving into a permanent position. Unfortunately, I am unable to progress candidates who are solely seeking a permanent role. A fantastic opportunity to work directly alongside the CEO as the business prepares for its next phase of transformation and development. I am seeking an exceptional EA with an entrepreneurial mindset who is ready to build and lead the operational support structure around the CEO. Sitting at the centre of the executive office, this role will ensure the CEO’s time, priorities, and commitments are managed with precision, discipline, and clarity. Known for being calm, trustworthy, and highly proactive, you will take pride in creating order and ensuring every detail runs seamlessly behind the scenes. This role requires exceptional coordination skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to maintain structure, organisation, and momentum within a fast paced, ever changing environment. Created to support the next stage of the company’s growth, this position offers the opportunity to become deeply embedded within the business and help shape the function from the ground up. With no rigid blueprint in place, the role will naturally evolve based on the strengths, initiative, and impact of the individual in post. This opportunity is ideal for someone who enjoys building processes, creating structure, and operating as a true strategic partner to a CEO. The CEO is looking for a genuine right hand, someone who wants to contribute strategically, add value and grow alongside the business. The CEO is supportive, kind, and genuinely rewards hard work, whilst also holding exceptionally high standards. I am looking for an EA who shares the same values, someone energetic, solutions focused, commercially minded, and committed to excellence in everything they do. A positive attitude is essential, along with a nothing is too much trouble mindset. The successful candidate will be resilient, adaptable, and thrive in a high performing environment where trust, discretion, loyalty, and initiative are highly valued. As a true extension of the CEO, this role requires a high level of commitment, flexibility, and responsiveness. Due to the pace of the business and nature of the position, support will be required outside of core hours, including weekend availability when priorities arise. This opportunity will suit someone who genuinely enjoys operating within an ambitious, fast moving environment and wants to play a meaningful role in the success of the business. This is an exciting and incredibly rewarding opportunity for someone who fully commits to it. The organisation invests heavily in its people and, in return, looks for individuals who are equally invested in the opportunity. Career driven, hardworking with a strong work ethic and willingness to go above and beyond will thrive in this environment.
