About You

You're probably someone who enjoys being the "go‑to" person — organised, reliable, and great at getting things done. You'll be confident working closely with senior leaders, comfortable managing lots of moving parts, and able to make sound decisions on your own. You'll need to be adaptable, commercially aware, and quick to understand how different pieces of the business fit together.

We're looking for someone who is:

• Highly organised with a strong eye for detail.
• A clear, confident communicator.
• Able to juggle multiple priorities without losing focus.
• Discreet and trustworthy with sensitive information.
• Tech‑savvy and comfortable using modern digital tools.
• A self‑starter who takes ownership and solves problems proactively.
• Commercially aware, with a focus on results and business impact.

What's On Offer

• Annual bonus after probation
• Car / Car allowance
• 25 days holiday + 8 bank holidays
• Free parking

• Auto‑enrolment pension
• Potential hybrid working
• The chance to get involved in international projects and strategic work

Hours & Working Style

• Core hours are 7:30 am – 4:30 pm, with flexibility depending on global meetings.
• One early weekly meeting at 7 am.
• Occasional travel may be required.

Who This Role Would Suit

This would be a great fit for someone who thrives in a fast‑moving environment and enjoys being at the centre of things. You'll need to be quick‑thinking, solutions‑focused, and comfortable working alongside entrepreneurial leaders who move at pace. If you like to take ownership, enjoy seeing projects through from start to finish, and have the confidence to make decisions independently, you'll fit in well here.
