This is a 6-month fixed-term contract offering a varied, fast-paced role within a professional, forward-thinking environment.
The Role
You’ll act as a trusted partner to senior leaders, managing complex diaries, coordinating board meetings, and ensuring smooth day-to-day operations across the executive office. The role requires someone who is proactive, discreet, and confident in handling confidential and sensitive information.

We’re looking for someone who is:
* Experienced (minimum 2–5 years supporting a CEO, MD, or equivalent).
* Proactive, efficient, and unflappable under pressure.
* Discreet and capable of managing highly confidential information (NDA required).
* Skilled in Microsoft Outlook and confident managing multiple priorities.
* Professional yet approachable - someone who brings both polish and personality.
Working Arrangements
* Hybrid role: mainly home-based with travel to the Watford office as needed.
* On-site once a month for executive meetings and once a quarter for in-person Board meetings.
Interview Process

This is an excellent interim opportunity for a high-calibre EA who enjoys working in a collaborative, evolving environment and can hit the ground running.
