About the Role
This role supports the Founder/CEO by managing their schedule, inbox, travel, and logistics, preparing them for meetings, and producing high-quality written materials. The position requires discretion and a proactive approach to ensure operational reliability and anticipate needs.
Responsibilities
- Own and actively manage the CEO's calendar, prioritizing ruthlessly against shifting demands and protecting focused time.

- Track the CEO's commitments and follow-ups, and keep them moving.
- Act as a reliable point of contact between the CEO and internal colleagues, funders, and partners.
Requirements
- 3-6 years experience as an EA / executive business partner or similar role, ideally supporting a founder or CEO.
- Exceptional organisation and the judgement to prioritise without being told.
- Strong written English and a feel for register: you can draft something that reads as though the CEO wrote it.
- Experience with G-Suite, Slack, and AI tooling (we use Claude).
- Calm, accurate, and dependable under pressure and across time zones.
- Discreet and trustworthy with sensitive information and relationships.
- Adaptable and low-ego, comfortable moving between high-stakes drafting and practical logistics.
- Values alignment and genuine interest in our mission is desirable.
- Sector experience is welcome but not required.
- Significant experience in highly collaborative cross-functional teams.
