Executive Assistant to the CEO

Job Description

Executive Assistant to the CEO

Location: Greater Manchester

Salary: £47,000 to £50,000

Job Type: Permanent, Full Time

Working Pattern: Predominantly office based, with some flexibility

Are you the kind of Executive Assistant who makes things happen without being asked?

Parmar Staffing is recruiting an experienced Executive Assistant to work closely with the CEO of an established, growing business in Greater Manchester.

This isn't a traditional PA role focused on managing someone's diary. We're looking for someone proactive, confident and exceptionally organised who can take ownership, keep people accountable and turn ideas into action.

You'll work directly with a busy, hands on CEO who values initiative, honesty and people who aren't afraid to ask questions or challenge constructively.

What You'll Be Doing

• Attending meetings, reviewing notes and ensuring agreed actions are completed.
  

• Coordinating projects, priorities and activities across the business.
  

• Following up with colleagues, including senior managers, to keep things moving.
  

• Turning ideas into practical action plans.
  

• Organising meetings, events and occasional travel.
  

• Supporting recruitment, supplier coordination and business administration.
  

• Identifying opportunities to take additional responsibilities away from the CEO.
  

What We're Looking For

Previous PA or EA experience is essential, ideally supporting a CEO, MD or business owner within a SME business.

You'll also need:

• Excellent organisation and attention to detail.
  

• Confidence communicating with people at all levels.
  

• A proactive attitude and the ability to work independently.
  

• Strong follow through and the confidence to challenge constructively.
  

• Excellent judgement, discretion and confidentiality.
  

• The flexibility to thrive in a growing, entrepreneurial business.
  

Experience within technology would be advantageous but isn't essential. Your personality, initiative and ability to get things done matter more.

What's on Offer?

• £47,000 to £50,000 salary.
  

• 23 days holiday plus bank holidays.
  

• Your birthday off.
  

• Additional time off between Christmas and New Year.
  

• Pension, death in service and employee benefits platform.
  

• The opportunity to become a trusted part of the leadership team and make a genuine impact.
  

This is a predominantly office based position in Manchester.
