This is a true right-hand opportunity supporting a brilliant, high-performing Founder operating at the sharp end of dealmaking, growth strategy, and investor advisory across media, tech, consumer, and creative sectors.
The environment is fast, intelligent, relationship-driven, and high trust. You will be embedded at the centre of decision-making.

International travel coordination and logistics
Acting as gatekeeper and trusted liaison
Preparing briefings, research, and meeting materials
Managing highly sensitive information with absolute discretion
Bringing structure and operational rigour to a fast-moving environment
Acting as a sounding board and constructively pushing back when needed
You must be comfortable operating in organised chaos while maintaining calm, clarity, and control.
Experience Required
This role will suit a seasoned Senior EA who:
Has significant experience supporting a Founder, C-suite executive, or high-profile principal
Thrives in a founder-led, entrepreneurial environment
Is commercially sharp and understands the bigger picture
Can manage a principal who moves quickly and changes direction
Is resilient, structured, and unflappable
