Executive Assistant
Location: Central Manchester. Salary: £45,000 - £50,000. Hours: Monday‑Friday, 9am‑5pm. Possibility of 2 days from home after probation.
The Opportunity
A rare opportunity to join a high‑growth, forward‑thinking SME at a pivotal stage in its journey. This business is led by an impressive, entrepreneurial CEO and a dynamic senior leadership team who are driving ambitious expansion plans.
This role offers genuine exposure at board level, working closely with decision‐makers in a fast‑paced, evolving environment. You will become a trusted partner to the CEO and Directors, playing a key role in enabling their focus on strategic growth.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Direct access to an inspiring, commercially astute CEO
* A growing SME environment where you will have real impact and visibility
* A culture that values professionalism, trust, and high standards
* Opportunity to shape and elevate the EA function
* Long‑term stability with clear growth trajectory
The Role
This is a high‑level Executive Assistant position suited to someone who operates with confidence, discretion, and precision. You will take full ownership of executive support, anticipating needs and operating as a true right‑hand.
Key Responsibilities
* Full management of a complex and ever‑changing CEO diary
* Coordinating international travel and detailed itineraries across multiple time zones
* Preparing for and organising board and senior leadership meetings
* Producing high‑quality reports, documents, and presentations
* Acting as a key liaison between the CEO, Directors, and internal/external stakeholders
* Managing confidential and sensitive information with absolute discretion
* Bringing structure, organisation, and efficiency to a fast‑moving environment
About You
* Proven experience supporting senior executives within a fast‑paced environment (SME experience advantageous)
* Professional, and confident in dealing with senior stakeholders
* Exceptional organisational skills with strong attention to detail
* Advanced Microsoft Office skills (Word, Excel, PowerPoint)
* Proactive, solutions‑focused, and able to operate with autonomy
* A natural ability to anticipate needs and add value at senior level
If you are an experienced EA looking to step into a role with real influence, working alongside ambitious leadership in a growing SME this is an exceptional opportunity.
