What You’ll Be Doing
- Full ownership of calendar and inbox management — prioritising, adapting, and keeping things moving.
- Enabling high-impact meetings with investors, government officials, advisors, and global partners — from boardrooms to briefings at 10 Downing Street.
- Being the CEO’s right hand — ensuring time is spent where it adds the most value.
- Supporting wider business ventures including a foundation and overseas hospitality project (no household or personal admin).
- Acting as a strategic conduit between the CEO and the wider organisation — ensuring smooth day-to-day flow and long-term impact.
- Experience supporting senior leaders in fast-paced, high-pressure environments — ideally in consultancy, financial services, government, or high-growth businesses.
- Strong emotional intelligence and resilience — the CEO communicates in a direct, often blunt style and values someone who can absorb feedback, not take things personally, and keep things on track.
- Confidence and presence — able to represent the CEO with senior external stakeholders managing hundreds of millions in capital.
- High standards, humility, and warmth — the ideal candidate is easy to interact with, collaborative, and able to build trust across the organisation.
- Exceptional organisational skills and adaptability — you’ll need to pivot frequently and thrive on the unexpected.
- You’ve supported demanding executives and know how to bring clarity to chaos.
- You’re used to an ever-evolving scale-up environment and can pre-empt what’s needed before it’s asked.
- You thrive in-person and value spontaneous collaboration – this is a fully office-based role with regular, informal daily contact.
- You’re well-educated, articulate, and comfortable in high-stakes environments.
- You bring both gravitas and approachability – no ego, no drama, just high performance.
- Working hours: 9am–5pm, with light evening support once per week. Minimal weekend work (only for board meetings or major deliverables).
- Location: Fully office-based in St James’s, London. Remote flexibility only when CEO is travelling.
- Travel: CEO travels ~5–10 days/month across the UK, Europe, and Asia.
- 25 days holiday bank holidays
- Discretionary annual bonus
- Private medical insurance (option to include dependents at own cost)
- Critical illness cover (60% of base salary for 3 years, with 5% annual growth)
- Life assurance (4x base salary)
