Who are we?
At mcl, we help small and medium-sized businesses access the capital they need to grow – quickly, clearly, and with care. Since 2018, we’ve supported over 2,000 SMEs across the UK, and we’re not slowing down.
We believe finance should work better for the people building our economy. That means fewer hurdles, faster answers, and support that feels human, not transactional. We back ambition with real funding, smart tools, and a team that gets what running a business really takes.
Our model puts people over paperwork. We work with brokers and with business owners to deliver funding that fits – without the faff. As we grow, we’re expanding our reach, recently launching mcl UAE and tools like LendPair, helping even more businesses find the right path to finance.
Our mission
To reshape SME finance and level the playing field – funding that’s fast, fair, and fits for the businesses of the future.

Own your actions and interactions. If it’s off, say it. If it’s broken, fix it.

The Role
As a Personal Assistant to the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), including the CEO, you’ll play a central role in keeping the business running smoothly day-to-day. You’ll be the operational backbone behind the leadership team; managing diaries, priorities, communication and logistics and ensuring the team are prepared, organised, and able to focus on driving the business forward.
This role is ideal for someone who’s highly organised, discreet, proactive, and thrives in a fast-paced environment. You’ll be confident handling sensitive information, anticipating needs, and creating calm, structure and momentum around a busy leadership group.
Key Responsibilities
* Manage complex, ever-changing calendars for the CEO and SLT, including meetings, travel, and time-critical priorities.
* Act as a gatekeeper for the CEO/SLT - triaging requests, handling inbox/communications, and ensuring the right issues reach the right person at the right time.
* Coordinate internal and external meetings (agenda prep, booking rooms/VC links, attendee management, minutes/actions, follow-ups).
* Support the CEO and SLT with day-to-day admin: documents, presentations, briefing notes, and light research.
* Arrange travel and logistics (flights, hotels, ground transport, itineraries), keeping everything efficient and cost-aware.
* Maintain strong systems for filing, tracking actions, and ensuring deadlines don’t slip.
* Support key business rhythms such as SLT meetings, weekly reporting, off sites, town halls and events.
* Handle confidential and sensitive information with discretion, professionalism and sound judgement.
* Build strong relationships across the business to help unblock issues quickly and keep things moving.
Key Skills & Experience
