Executive Assistant to CTO/COO – Edinburgh (Hybrid)
We’re looking for a highly capable Executive Assistant to provide dedicated support to a CTO/COO within a fast-paced, growing organisation.
This is a true C-suite role where you’ll act as a trusted right hand to a senior leader operating across both technical and operational priorities. You’ll play a key role in enabling strategic focus by managing complexity, anticipating needs, and ensuring seamless day-to-day execution across a demanding and fast-moving workload.
This is not a traditional EA role — it requires someone who thrives on being one step ahead, brings structure to ambiguity, and confidently manages shifting priorities in a high-pressure, ever-changing environment.
What you’ll be doing
* Providing high-level executive support to the CTO/COO
* Managing a complex and constantly changing diary and inbox
* Coordinating meetings, preparing agendas, briefing packs, and follow-ups
* Acting as a key point of contact between the CTO/COO and senior stakeholders
* Managing end-to-end travel arrangements and logistics
* Preparing high-quality presentations and executive documentation
* Supporting leadership meetings, offsites, and events
* Coordinating priorities across multiple workstreams and stakeholders
* Working closely with other EAs to drive consistency and efficiency across the executive function
* Supporting key projects and helping improve processes across the wider business
What we’re looking for
* Proven experience supporting at senior or C-suite level
* Strong background managing complex diaries, inboxes, and competing priorities
* Confident engaging with senior stakeholders and managing expectations
* Excellent communication skills and strong attention to detail
* Proactive, solutions-focused mindset with sound judgement and discretion
* Ability to remain calm, organised, and effective in a fast-paced environment
* Advanced Microsoft Office skills (especially Outlook, PowerPoint, Word)
* Experience coordinating travel and complex logistics
* Collaborative approach and experience working within an EA network or support team
About you
You are a confident and highly organised Executive Assistant who thrives in fast-moving environments where priorities shift quickly. You anticipate needs, take ownership without needing direction, and are trusted to operate with discretion and professionalism at all times. You enjoy being close to senior decision-making, bringing structure to complexity, and enabling leaders to focus on what matters most.
The offer
* Hybrid working (Edinburgh-based)
* Exposure to senior leadership and strategic decision-making
* Collaborative and high-performing environment
* Opportunity to shape and elevate executive support across the business
If you’re an experienced EA who enjoys working closely with senior leaders and thrives in a role where no two days are the same, we’d love to hear from you.
