Are you an exceptional Executive Assistant with experience supporting C-suite leaders in the life sciences, biotech, pharmaceutical, or scientific R&D sector?
We're seeking a highly organised, proactive, and commercially minded Executive Assistant to become a trusted partner to a Chief Scientific Officer. This is far more than a traditional EA role.

Working closely with the CSO, you will manage a diverse range of responsibilities, ensuring seamless day-to-day operations while anticipating challenges and proactively delivering solutions. You'll operate with the highest levels of professionalism, discretion, and integrity while supporting an executive operating at the forefront of scientific innovation.
Key Responsibilities
✅ Proactive management of a complex and demanding diary and calendar
✅ Strategic inbox management, prioritisation and drafting correspondence
✅ Acting as the primary point of contact for senior stakeholders and external partners
✅ Coordinating internal and external meetings, events, board activities and visitor management
✅ Preparing agendas, presentations, board papers and meeting documentation
✅ Taking accurate minutes, tracking actions and ensuring follow-through
✅ Managing complex domestic and international travel arrangements and expenses
✅ Supporting project coordination, monitoring deadlines and ensuring timely delivery
✅ Building strong relationships across executive leadership teams and stakeholder groups
✅ Managing highly confidential information with absolute discretion
✅ Anticipating the needs of the CSO and providing proactive support before issues arise
✅ Driving continuous improvement in administrative processes and ways of working
