A fast-growing tech start-up in East London is looking for a proactive, highly organised and commercially minded Executive Assistant to support their Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Chief People Officer (CPO).
This is a fantastic opportunity to join an ambitious, fast-paced start-up during an exciting period of growth and transformation. Initially offered on a contract basis, there is the potential for the role to become permanent for the right person.
This is a varied, high-volume role supporting two senior leaders, where priorities can shift quickly and no two days are the same. The ideal candidate will bring a combination of traditional EA expertise and broader business operations or strategy experience, acting as a trusted right hand to both executives.
Alongside core executive support, you will have the opportunity to get involved in business operations, strategic projects, stakeholder coordination and helping drive key priorities forward. You'll need to be comfortable working autonomously, anticipating needs and bringing structure to a fast-changing environment.

- Coordinating business operations and strategic projects.
- Tracking priorities, actions and key deliverables.
- Stakeholder management and cross-functional coordination.
- Providing wider operational and administrative support to the COO and CPO.
They are looking for someone who is:
- Experienced supporting senior executives, ideally at C-suite level, within a fast-paced environment.
- From an EA, Executive Business Partner, Business Operations or Strategy background.
- Commercially minded, proactive and comfortable operating beyond traditional EA responsibilities.
- Calm under pressure, resilient and able to exercise sound judgement.
- Highly organised, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
- Comfortable dealing with senior stakeholders and working with ambiguity.
- Able to build strong relationships and adapt their approach to support different personalities.
- Solutions-focused, autonomous and happy to take ownership.
- Ideally experienced within tech, start-ups, consultancy or similarly fast-moving businesses.
