Full time

This is not a traditional EA role.

This is a long-term partnership opportunity supporting a founder building and scaling multiple growth businesses across advisory, retail, and property.

If you want to sit beside a decision-maker, help shape strategy, and grow with businesses over the next stage of serious expansion — read on.

The Businesses

You will support the founder across:

  • A high-performing advisory firm
  • A multi-site retail group
  • An expanding commercial property portfolio
  • Future acquisitions and growth initiatives

All businesses are commercially focused, modern in approach, and ambitious.

The trajectory is long-term. This role is designed to grow with it.

The Role

This is a high-trust, high-responsibility position embedded in the executive layer.

You will act as:

  • Strategic filter
  • Operational stabiliser
  • Execution driver
  • Time protector
  • Decision-flow accelerator

You will bring order to complexity and ensure momentum never stalls.

No two days will look the same — and that’s exactly how you like it.

What You’ll Be Doing

Executive & Strategic Support

  • Manage complex and fast-moving priorities
  • Prepare executive reporting and board materials
  • Assist with strategic initiatives and expansion projects
  • Track performance metrics across multiple entities
  • Coordinate senior leadership communication

Operational Leverage

  • Drive follow-up and accountability across teams
  • Improve processes and streamline workflows
  • Support budgeting, forecasting and commercial decision-making
  • Liaise confidently with advisors, suppliers and stakeholders

Property & Project Oversight

  • Coordinate documentation and compliance
  • Track lease and contractor activity
  • Support development and improvement projects

This role goes beyond diary management.
It is about leverage, clarity and forward movement.

About You

You are calm in fast-moving environments.

You anticipate rather than react.

You understand how growth-focused leaders operate — and you know how to support them without slowing them down.

You likely have experience as:

  • A senior EA in a complex environment
  • Or in professional services, finance, consulting or operations

You are:

  • Commercially aware
  • Highly organised
  • Intellectually sharp
  • Confident communicating with senior stakeholders
  • Discreet and loyal
  • Comfortable with accountability and ownership

If someone described you, they’d say:

“They just get it done.”

Why This Role Is Different

This is not a stepping-stone role.

This is an opportunity to grow alongside a founder over the long term — potentially the remainder of their career.

The businesses are expanding. The portfolio is growing. The leadership layer is evolving.

For the right person, this role can develop into broader operational leadership over time.

What’s On Offer

  • Direct access to founder-level decision making
  • Exposure across multiple industries
  • A high-performance environment
  • Real responsibility
  • Long-term career runway
  • Competitive salary aligned to experience

  • Your CV
  • A short cover note outlining:
    • Why growth environments energise you
    • Where you see your career progressing
    • A time you operated beyond your formal role
