Executive Assistant

Location: Central London
Salary: £40,000 - £60,000 per annum (dependent on experience) + Benefits

The Company

Our client is a highly regarded and growing business operating within the commercial interiors, workplace design and fit-out sector. Delivering projects for a diverse portfolio of corporate, public sector and private clients, the company has built its reputation on exceptional service, quality delivery and long-term client relationships.

With a collaborative culture and ambitious growth plans, the business combines the agility of an entrepreneurial organisation with the professionalism and governance standards expected of an established industry leader. Continuous improvement, operational excellence and client satisfaction sit at the heart of everything they do.

As the business continues to evolve, an exciting opportunity has arisen for an experienced Executive Assistant to provide strategic support to the Directors and play a key role in the day-to-day operation of the organisation.

The Role

This is a broad, influential and highly visible position that extends far beyond traditional executive support.

Working directly with the Directors, you will act as a trusted adviser and organisational anchor, helping to ensure priorities remain on track, objectives are delivered and the business continues to operate efficiently. You will be responsible for driving structure, accountability and consistency across a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same.

Alongside executive support responsibilities, you will take ownership of compliance processes, ISO management systems, business administration and operational coordination, ensuring that the organisation maintains the highest professional standards.

This role requires someone with confidence, presence and resilience-an individual capable of constructively challenging senior stakeholders, providing guidance when needed and ensuring commitments are followed through.

Key Responsibilities

Provide comprehensive support to the Directors across all areas of the business.
Manage complex diaries, meetings, appointments and business schedules.
Coordinate leadership meetings, agendas and action tracking.
Prepare reports, presentations, proposals and senior-level business documentation.
Oversee and maintain company ISO accreditations, policies and compliance procedures.
Support audit preparation and continuous improvement initiatives.
Monitor key objectives and ensure accountability across senior stakeholders.
Drive organisation, structure and process improvement initiatives.
Coordinate projects and business-critical activities across multiple departments.
Act as a key liaison between Directors, employees, clients and external partners.
Assist with governance, administration, operational and strategic business activities.
Identify efficiencies and implement improvements to systems and procedures.

Candidate Profile

We are seeking an experienced and credible professional who thrives in a dynamic business environment.

You will ideally have:

Previous experience as an Executive Assistant, Senior PA, Chief of Staff, Business Support Manager or similar senior-level support role.
Experience managing ISO standards, compliance frameworks or quality management systems.
Exceptional organisational and project management skills.
Strong commercial awareness and business acumen.
The ability to build relationships and influence stakeholders at all levels.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
A proactive, solutions-focused approach with strong attention to detail.
High levels of discretion, professionalism and confidentiality.
Excellent Microsoft Office and business systems skills.

The Person

Success in this role will come from your ability to bring order, structure and accountability to a busy leadership team.

You will possess the confidence to challenge appropriately, manage competing priorities and ensure actions are delivered. Comfortable operating at board level, you will not be afraid to ask difficult questions, push back when necessary and provide clear, considered advice to senior decision-makers.

This is an opportunity for an individual with genuine presence and a strong character to become an indispensable part of a successful and ambitious organisation. We are looking for someone with the confidence and credibility to influence outcomes, drive standards and ensure the leadership team remains focused on delivering key business objectives.

What's on Offer

Salary of £40,000 - £60,000 per annum, dependent on experience.
A high-profile position working directly alongside company Directors.
Significant autonomy and influence within the business.
Exposure to strategic decision-making and organisational development.
A varied and rewarding role within a growing organisation.
Excellent career development opportunities.
Central London office location.

If you are an experienced Executive Assistant looking for a position where you can genuinely influence business performance and become a trusted partner to senior leadership, we would love to hear from you. Get in touch via:
