The Opportunity

An exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Executive Assistant to support a driven and commercially focused Managing Director within a growing SME. This role has been created as part of wider growth plans and investment in strengthening the leadership team.

This position offers genuine variety, visibility, and autonomy and is ideal for someone who enjoys being at the heart of a business, supporting senior leadership, and playing a key role in enabling strategic progress.

The Role

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, you will provide high‑level, confidential, and proactive support, enabling them to focus on business strategy and growth initiatives. You will act as a trusted right‑hand support, ensuring the smooth day‑to‑day running of the MD’s activity and wider operations.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Diary & inbox management, including prioritising meetings, travel arrangements, and key commitments
  • Meeting coordination, preparation of agendas, minute‑taking, and tracking actions
  • Document and presentation preparation, producing reports, proposals, and presentations to a high standard
  • Support of a small number of key client accounts, including booking meetings, preparing quotations, CRM updates, and pipeline management
  • Stakeholder liaison, acting as a professional point of contact for internal teams and external partners
  • Confidential administration, handling sensitive information with discretion
  • Operational and office support, assisting across wider business functions as required
  • HR duties, providing proactive support to senior leadership by independently researching HR policies, and people-related matters, leveraging third-party HR providers where appropriate.
  • Demonstrate initiative, critical thinking, and a solutions-focused approach by investigating issues, gathering relevant information, and presenting well-informed recommendations to support effective decision-making

Requirements

This role would suit a confident, organised, and proactive EA who thrives in a fast‑paced SME environment and enjoys working closely with senior leadership.

You will ideally have:

  • Proven experience as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, or senior administrator supporting senior leaders
  • Exceptional organisational and time‑management skills
  • Strong written and verbal communication abilities
  • High levels of discretion, professionalism, and integrity
  • Confidence managing multiple priorities and working under pressure
  • Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)
  • A “can‑do” attitude, with honesty, loyalty, adaptability, and accountability

Experience within an SME environment and exposure to broader business operations would be highly advantageous.

Why Apply?

  • Direct exposure to an experienced Managing Director
  • Opportunity to grow with a business on an ambitious growth journey
  • Supportive, close‑knit working environment

If you’re looking for a role where you can truly make an impact and become an integral part of a leadership team, this could be an excellent next step.
