About the Role

This role sits at the centre of our ambition, supporting the CEO to operate with clarity, pace, and impact across every dimension of the business. You will be the connective thread between the CEO and the people and priorities that matter most, bringing structure to a fast-moving environment and exercising sound judgement independently.

Responsibilities

• Own and proactively manage the CEO's complex, ever-changing calendar, acting as a strategic gatekeeper to ensure their time is consistently aligned to the highest business priorities.
• Coordinate and prepare for Executive Leadership Team meetings, Board sessions, investor engagements, strategy offsites, and company events - including agendas, briefing packs, presentations, and follow-up actions.
• Manage all domestic and international travel arrangements, producing detailed itineraries and contingency plans.
• Handle confidential correspondence, inbox management, expenses, and Board administration with absolute discretion and a high degree of accuracy.
• Work closely with the CFO's EA and the Investor Relations team to coordinate twice-yearly investor roadshows across the UK and US.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with external industry and government stakeholders, playing an active role in securing high-level meetings for the CEO.
• Partner with the broader EA community across the business to ensure seamless, joined-up executive support at all levels.
• Support company planning cycles, leadership offsites, and key strategic initiatives, contributing to the smooth running of the business beyond day-to-day scheduling.

Requirements

• Significant experience supporting a CEO or C-suite executive within a fast-paced technology business, listed company, or similarly complex organisation.
• Exceptional organisational skills and the ability to manage competing priorities with composure, accuracy, and good judgement.
• Outstanding communication skills and the confidence to engage effectively with Board members, senior leaders, and external stakeholders at the highest level.
• A proactive, solutions-focused approach - someone who anticipates needs before they arise and takes ownership without waiting to be asked.
• The discretion and integrity to handle highly sensitive and confidential information with care at all times.
• Strong resilience and adaptability, with the ability to remain calm, focused, and effective when priorities shift quickly.
• Experience supporting Board-level governance processes would be a bonus.
• Familiarity with investor relations activity or executive stakeholder management at a listed company would be a bonus.
