Executive Assistant to CEO

Job Title : Executive Assistant to CEO

Location : London, EC4R 1AP

Salary : £40,000 - £55,000 per annum pro rata (actual annual salary £20,000 - £27,500 per annum)

Job Type : Permanent, Part-Time (1 week on / 1 week off), 5 Day Week with Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday in office and Monday and Friday working from home

We're looking for a proactive, highly organised Executive Assistant to be the CEO's strategic right hand. This is not your typical support role - you'll be an integral part of running and scaling the business, driving clarity and execution every step of the way.

Are You the Kind of Person Who...

• Brings calm to chaos, loves creating structure, and spots problems before others realise they exist.
• Keeps multiple plates spinning while improving how they spin.
• Thrives on autonomy, clarity, and solving real problems without fluff.

What We're Looking For

We're not after a traditional PA. You're a strategic operator who partners with the CEO to run the business better, smarter, faster. You're exceptionally organised, detail-focused yet big-picture aware, and confident working solo, managing up, and collaborating across clients, suppliers, and team.

About Us :

We're The Procurement Group - a specialist cost consultancy. Small team. Big responsibility. Zero fluff.

For 20+ years we've helped clients control costs intelligently. Now we're scaling, both in the UK and internationally. You'll be the person who keeps the business flowing while the founder focuses on scaling - a critical, hands-on role with real impact.

What You'll Actually Do :

You'll Love This If You...

You Might Struggle If You...
