WHAT YOU'LL NEED To be successful in this role, you will need: - 7+ years of experience as an executive assistant or in a similar administrative role, ideally supporting C-level executives - with 2-4+ years directly supporting a CEO or Founder strongly preferred. - Exceptional organizational and time management skills, with the ability to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines. - Strong written and verbal communication skills, with comfort communicating at the Board and executive level. - Sound independent judgment and decision-making - able to distinguish between what to run with and what to escalate. - Ability to handle sensitive and confidential information with the highest level of discretion. - Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently and autonomously. - Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build positive relationships with colleagues and external contacts. - Flexibility and adaptability in a fast-paced and dynamic work environment. WHY REMOTE As a remote-first organization, you will have the flexibility to work from anywhere in the UK, with a strong preference for someone based in London. While this is a fully remote role, there may be times when meeting the CEO and various partners in our London office is necessary, so flexibility to work out of this office is required.
