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

Who This Role Suits

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:

• 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
