This is not a traditional PA role and that s exactly why it will suit the right person.

We re recruiting an exceptional Personal Assistant to support a highly driven, entrepreneurial CEO. This is a demanding, fast-paced role working at senior level, where priorities can change quickly, plans regularly move, and everything feels urgent. If you thrive in that environment rather than feel overwhelmed by it, read on.

The role You ll be the trusted right-hand to the CEO acting as both gatekeeper and problem-solver, balancing traditional PA responsibilities with a strong client-facing element. One minute you may be managing diaries and preparing for meetings, the next you ll be liaising directly with high-value clients or adapting plans that have just gone out of the window.

This role requires judgement, resilience and confidence. You ll need to know when to protect the CEO s time, when to escalate, and when to act independently.

What really matters in this role This role is all about people skills and adaptability.

You must be:

Comfortable working closely with CEOs, founders and entrepreneurs

Confident dealing with clients professionally and warmly

Able to remain calm, organised and solutions-focused under pressure

Highly adaptable - plans change, priorities shift and pace is fast

Naturally proactive and reactive - you spot issues before they land, but act fast when they do

Resilient and unflappable - this is a high-expectations environment

You ll need to be happy with flexibility; there may be occasions where the CEO calls before the standard start time, and you ll need to be comfortable with that level of commitment.

Experience & style Proven experience as a PA / EA at senior or executive level

Strong diary management and organisational skills

Professional, confident and personable communication style

Able to think independently and make sound judgement calls

Thrives in a fast-moving, changeable environment

The person you ll be supporting You ll be working for a fair, personable and genuinely supportive CEO but one with high standards and big expectations. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who wants a challenge, enjoys working at pace, and understands what it takes to support at this level.

If you re looking for a role where you can truly add value, be trusted, and be at the heart of the business this could be an outstanding opportunity.
