Role brief

What this role is asking for.

About the Role We’re looking for a highly capable, proactive Executive Assistant to support a senior leader working across multiple fast-growing non-profit organisations. This is not a traditional EA role. You’ll be at the centre of a dynamic, fast-moving environment, helping bring structure to complexity, keeping priorities on track, and acting as a trusted right-hand. If you thrive in a fast paced, dynamic environment, enjoy problem-solving, and take pride in keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes, this role will suit you well. What You’ll Be Doing ● Calendar Management: Coordinate a constantly shifting schedule across multiple organisations and stakeholders ● Inbox Management: Draft responses, prioritise communications, and ensure timely follow-ups ● Meeting Support: Capture notes, track action items, and ensure follow-through ● Administrative Support: Handle day-to-day operational tasks to free up executive time ● Stakeholder Coordination: Liaise with internal teams, contractors, and external partners ● Board & Leadership Support: Assist with preparing board materials, reports, and presentations ● Process Management: Maintain systems and ensure consistency (especially where others won’t!) ● Ad Hoc Projects: Support initiatives such as audits, retreats, and operational projects
