This exciting opportunity would suit a proactive EA who also enjoys office management and wants to make this newly created role, their own!

We're pleased to launch the search for a highly organised, efficient Executive Assistant to support a fantastic senior leadership team, based in Cambridge.

This is a pivotal role at the heart of the business. You will act as a trusted partner to senior leaders, ensuring their time is used effectively, operations run smoothly, and priorities are coordinated across a fast-paced, global organisation.

The ideal candidate is someone who is detail-oriented, calm under pressure, and not afraid to roll up their sleeves-someone who takes ownership, anticipates needs, and thrives in a dynamic, high-growth environment.

If you're looking for variety, this role is full of it, including:

Executive Support

  • Provide high-quality administrative support to members of the executive leadership team.
  • Manage complex calendars, prioritising meetings across multiple time zones.
  • Coordinate internal and external meetings, including agendas, materials, and follow-ups.
  • Handle confidential information with discretion and professionalism.

Organisation & Coordination

  • Ensure effective day-to-day organisation of executive activities and priorities.
  • Support coordination of cross-functional initiatives and leadership meetings.
  • Track key actions and ensure timely follow-up across teams.

Travel & Logistics

  • Arrange domestic and international travel, including visas, itineraries, and accommodation.
  • Manage logistics for executive visits, customer meetings, and internal events.

Communication & Stakeholder Management

  • Draft and review communications, presentations, and reports where required.
  • Build strong relationships across the organisation and with external partners.

Operational Support

  • Support planning and execution of leadership offsites, board meetings, and company events.
  • Assist with preparation of board packs and executive-level documentation.
  • Office management.
  • Identify opportunities to improve administrative processes and efficiency.

You'll be an EA or PA who:

  • Is exceptionally organised with strong attention to detail.
  • Is proactive and resourceful, with the ability to anticipate needs and solve problems independently.
  • Has strong interpersonal and communication skills.
  • Has a high level of discretion and professionalism.

Is able to remain calm and effective under pressure.

Experience in a technology, engineering, or high-growth company is advantageous.

Interviews taking place early April.

Location:
