Overview

This is a rare opportunity to step into the inner circle of a dynamic, founder-led business at a pivotal moment — supporting an ambitious, fast-paced CEO across both business-critical and personal priorities, while overseeing and guiding a junior PA who manages many day-to-day lifestyle tasks. The Founder is eager to speak with Assistants who have a love for AI and have Python / R / SQL Capabilities!

We’re looking for someone highly capable, calm under pressure, and instinctively organised — someone who can see around corners, bring structure to complexity, and operate as a true extension of the CEO.

This is a high-trust, high-exposure role on a temporary rolling basis, with the very real potential to become permanent for the right person.

The Role
Working closely with the CEO, you’ll be responsible for managing and coordinating everything that enables them to operate at their best — strategically, operationally, and personally.

This is not a traditional EA role. It’s broader, more senior, and more hands-on, combining executive support, project delivery, and people oversight. We are looking for a bright, ambitious person, who really wants to get stuck in. 

Your remit will include:
CEO Support (Business & Personal)
  • Acting as the primary point of coordination for the CEO’s business and personal priorities
  • Anticipating needs, triaging demands, and ensuring seamless execution across all areas
  • Preparing high-quality presentations, board papers, and business documents
  • Supporting board and senior leadership meetings, including minute-taking and action tracking
  • Keeping key projects moving — adding clarity, momentum, and follow-through
Project & Executive Operations
  • Bringing structure to complex or fast-moving initiatives
  • Managing deadlines, stakeholders, and outputs at executive level
  • Producing polished materials using PowerPoint, Canva, and AI-assisted tools
  • Operating confidently with senior internal and external stakeholders
People Oversight
  • Line managing a junior PA who handles many of the CEO’s lifestyle and day-to-day personal arrangements
  • Providing guidance, prioritisation, and quality control
  • Ensuring nothing falls through the cracks, even when things move quickly
What We’re Looking For
You’ll thrive in this role if you are:
  • Highly experienced supporting founder-level executives (5 years as a PA)
  • Naturally organised, proactive, and unflappable under pressure
  • Comfortable handling confidential information with absolute discretion
  • Polished, professional, and able to work at pace in a demanding environment
  • Confident managing up, down, and across an organisation
  • Happy to be fully office-based and flexible with hours when needed (including occasional evening meetings)
  • A love for AI, and any skills with Python / R / SQL will see someone thrive here
The Details
  • Start: Immediate
  • Contract: Temporary, rolling 
  • Potential: Strong chance to go permanent for the right person
  • Location: Central London
  • Working pattern: 5 days per week in the office
  • Hours: Typically 9–5/6, with flexibility required
  • Rate: Open and flexible, dependent on experience 
Why This Role?
  • Direct exposure to a highly entrepreneurial CEO
  • A genuine chance to make an impact from day one
  • Broad scope, autonomy, and influence
  • Fast-paced, client-facing environment
  • A role that could evolve into something long-term and significant
If you’re immediately available and excited by the idea of being right at the heart of a growing business — managing complexity, people, and priorities — this could be a fantastic next step.
