About the Role
We are working with a fast-growing professional services business operating in a complex, high-trust commercial environment.
As the business scales, the Commercial Director is increasingly focused on growth, clients, and delivery. This role exists to act as a force multiplier by removing day-to-day operational friction and ensuring priorities are executed efficiently and consistently.
This is a high-trust Executive Assistant role working closely with senior leadership. It goes beyond traditional diary management and plays a key role in coordination, follow-through, and operational execution.
The role is similar in nature to a Founder’s Associate style position, with a strong emphasis on organisation, communication, and getting things done.
What You’ll Be Doing
Executive Support & Coordination
* Manage and maintain the Commercial Director’s diary, priorities, and scheduling
* Attend key meetings, capturing actions, decisions, and follow-ups
* Track priorities and ensure consistent follow-through across stakeholders
* Act as a central coordination point across the business
Recruitment & Hiring Support
* Coordinate candidates, interviews, and scheduling
* Draft and refine job descriptions and role briefs
* Track hiring activity and maintain candidate pipelines
Communication & Follow-Through
* Manage and triage email and communication flow
* Ensure actions from meetings are progressed and completed
* Maintain clarity across multiple workstreams
Operational Support
* Support documentation, transcription, and summarisation of calls
* Help improve internal organisation and simple processes
* Bring structure and consistency to day-to-day operations

This role will suit someone who:
* Has experience as an Executive Assistant, Strategic EA, or Founder’s Associate
* Is highly organised, proactive, and comfortable working in fast-moving environments
* Has strong written communication and attention to detail
* Enjoys supporting senior leadership and keeping things moving
* Takes ownership and consistently follows through on tasks
We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in:
* Government, defence, or security-cleared environments
* Professional services or structured organisations
* Roles requiring discretion, confidentiality, and high trust
Desirable Experience
* Exposure to recruitment coordination or hiring processes
* Experience working directly with senior stakeholders
* Background in structured or project-based environments
What This Role Is Not
* This is not a purely administrative EA role
* This is not a strategy-only or advisory position
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role supporting senior leadership in a high-trust environment
