About the role

We’re on the lookout for an Executive Assistant (EA) to join us on a 10–12-month maternity cover, supporting two of our senior Directors - UK Client Partnership Director & Europe Lead and UK Sales Director. With the current post-holder due to head off on maternity in early June, we’re looking for someone to start in early May to allow for a full handover.

This role will be right at the heart of the action; from managing complex diaries and travel plans, to supporting with major events like the Outdoor Media Awards, PGA, Silverstone and even Cannes. You'll be a key point of contact internally and externally, representing the business with warmth, professionalism and a calm manner, even when things get busy.

What you will be doing…

This is a high-functioning EA role where you’ll need to be confident managing priorities, juggling multiple stakeholders, and building strong relationships quickly.

• Diary and inbox management for two senior Directors, both of whom are incredibly busy and client-facing
• Coordinating a high volume of internal and external meetings- booking rooms, arranging catering, and making sure everything’s prepped and ready
• Booking travel and accommodation, keeping plans up to date and coordinating logistics as needed
• Taking minutes and preparing documents when needed, as well as managing databases and filing systems
• Managing logistics and guest lists for high profile events. You'll be front-of-house, welcoming senior clients and ensuring everything runs smoothly
• Working closely with other EAs across the business and covering for them as needed during leave (including occasional support for our MD)
• Acting as a key contact for their teams (7 people in total), supporting with admin tasks and helping keep everything on track. As well as being responsible for logging holiday and recording any sick leave for their teams
• Jumping in to help other teams or stakeholders on an ad hoc basis. Whether it’s pulling together a deck, updating lists or prepping for a last-minute meeting

About you…

• You’ve supported senior leaders before and know how to manage complex diaries, inboxes, and travel with confidence

• You’re great with people, personable, professional and able to build strong relationships at all levels
• You’re confident handling sensitive information with discretion
• You’re happy to jump into new things, support others and bring a flexible mindset to your day-to-day

What’s in it for you?

• Salary of £40,000k (pro-rated)
• Flexible working (this typically looks like 3 days in the office Tuesday to Thursday, working from home Monday and Friday) and a hybrid setup that gives the freedom to have your work -life balance
• Enjoy 33 paid holidays, including those well need bank holidays!
