If you’re happiest being the right hand for a purpose-led Chief Executive, this role might just be for you.
About the role
This role is responsible for enabling our fantastic CEO to operate at his best. From optimising schedules, filtering out distractions, top-notch diary management and prepping material in advance, this role is focused on making the best use of the CE’s time, creating space for him to focus on high-impact work.

You’ll be an oasis of calm when managing multiple priorities, you’ll be thinking a few steps ahead, planning for every contingency, and bring plenty of fun and joy to the office. You’ll partner with the CE as a true peer and have the grounded confidence to give him the feedback that he needs.
