The Role
The Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) is at the heart of shaping this story—driving the creative vision, global engagement, and brand experiences that will define Glasgow 2026. To deliver at pace and scale, we are seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant (EA) who will be much more than a gatekeeper: a trusted right-hand partner who enables positive impact.
This is a fast-paced, high-profile role in which no two days will be the same. As EA, you will maximise the CMO’s capacity to lead effectively across departments, acting as a key connector, problem-solver, and organiser. You’ll bring energy, discretion, and flair—making sure creativity can thrive while ensuring operational excellence behind the scenes.
The Executive Assistant is a pivotal role within the Organising Company, providing direct support to our Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). As the CMO leads on the creative vision, storytelling, and engagement that will inspire audiences in Glasgow and across the world, the EA will keep this energy moving at pace. This role goes beyond diary management and meeting logistics; it is about enabling creativity to thrive. Responsibilities include preparing high-impact presentations, supporting brand and communications projects, coordinating campaigns and stakeholder events, and being at the centre of the creative engine room. This is a rare opportunity to join the inner circle of a world-class sporting and cultural event.
As EA to the CMO, you’ll help power the creative engine of Glasgow 2026, influencing how the world experiences the Games. The role also involves providing cover for fellow Executive Assistants and helping to ensure the smooth running of leadership meetings across the wider Executive Office.
Key Skills and Experience
* Experience in the event industry, project support, personal assistant, private office, executive office or senior administration role is preferred.
* Self-motivated, passionate and collaborative with a clear desire to ensure the Games are delivered to the highest standards.
* Proven ability to provide seamless departmental coordination, support for CMO’s teams, and manage deadlines.
* Experience supporting high-profile events, launches, and stakeholder engagements; on-the-ground support to ensure smooth operations.
* Capability to coordinate complex diary requirements, anticipate needs, and act as the first line of communication for the CMO.
* Support priority marketing projects and build positive relationships with key stakeholders.
* Experience providing support and advice to C-suite, executive teams and boards; advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite; proactive attitude and initiative.
