They are now looking for a bright, highly organised, and engaging Executive Assistant to support their Chief Financial Officer. This is far more than a traditional EA role. The CFO is seeking a true right hand and “second brain” someone who can operate at pace, think strategically, and add real value at a senior level.

You’ll be comfortable navigating constantly shifting priorities and thrive in a fast‑paced environment where no two days are the same. Alongside this, you’ll support board and governance processes, including preparing high‑quality reports and materials.
The incoming candidate must have previously supported a CFO in a demanding, fast‑paced environment, ideally within financial services or pensions, although strong candidates from other sectors will also be considered. You’ll be proactive, commercially aware, and confident operating at senior stakeholder level.
