About Skyscanner

Everyone loves travelling, but planning is not without its challenges ✈️. That’s why we have spent 20 years building tools that turn travel‑planning chaos into a breeze. Today, around 160 million travellers count on us every month to skip the “47 browser tabs open” phase and find flights, cars, and hotels quickly and easily 💻.


About The Role (Hybrid)

Skyscanner’s Executive Support team is looking for a Senior Executive Assistant to support our Executive leadership team. You will expect to anticipate needs, think critically, and handle sensitive matters with professionalism and discretion.


What You’ll Be Doing

* Provide high‑level calendar and diary management for the Executive team – prioritising requests, resolving scheduling conflicts, and making strategic decisions to ensure optimal use of time.
* Independently manage complex travel arrangements including booking flights, accommodation, processing visas, and preparing detailed itineraries.
* Organise and manage logistics for internal and external meetings – preparing agendas, formatting documents, taking minutes, and ensuring follow‑up on action items.
* Process expense reports and manage email correspondence, flagging urgent messages and helping to prioritise responses.
* Facilitate team events and offsite days – venue bookings, travel arrangements, agenda preparation and on‑day coordination.
* Help set the cadence for leadership team operations, ensuring meetings are purposeful, follow‑ups are tracked, and strategic priorities stay on course.
* Identify opportunities to improve workflows by leveraging AI tools and automation, reducing manual effort, enhancing efficiency, and enabling the team to focus on higher‑value work.


About You

* A self‑starter with exceptional organisational and time‑management skills.
* A proactive, strategic thinker who anticipates needs and takes initiative to streamline operations and drive impact.
* An excellent communicator who builds strong relationships and liaises confidently with senior stakeholders.
* Comfortable juggling multiple priorities in a fast‑moving environment.
* Tech‑savvy with strong attention to detail and a solutions‑focused mindset.
* Trusted to handle confidential information with integrity and discretion.
* Passionate about continuous improvement and delivering exceptional support.
* Thrives in a collaborative, high‑energy environment and brings a positive, can‑do attitude to your work.
