Personal Assistant to the CEO - Nottingham based - Exceptional Career Accelerator + Bonus Potential
We’re looking for a switched-on, highly organised, and proactive Personal Assistant to work directly with our CEO, Roheel. This is isn’t your typical PA role - it’s a front-row seat to how a CEO operates, makes decisions, and drives growth in a fast-growing, global business.
You’ll work with Roheel, who built the company from a tiny London box room into a global, award-winning organisation with offices in Nottingham, London, New York, and Dubai, and one of Europe’s fastest-growing recruitment businesses. You’ll support his priorities, protect his time, help drive revenue, and even shape his personal brand, gaining unmatched exposure to leadership, strategy, and high-impact projects.
It’s a career-defining opportunity for someone ambitious who wants to move fast, learn quickly, and grow their career in a high-impact role alongside a top CEO.
Who are we?
We’re one of Europe’s fastest-growing companies, recognised by the Financial Times, with offices in Nottingham, London, New York and most recently Dubai!
We specialise in recruiting Senior to C-suite talent for high-growth E-commerce, Fintech, Sports & Entertainment brands, partnering with industry leaders such as L’Oréal, Nike, Gymshark and F1 Mercedes.
We’re ambitious, fast-moving and results-driven and we expect the same from the people we hire.
