You'll be one step ahead, ensuring the work they need is delivered on time, the right people are in the know and they have everything they need often before they have to ask.

An important aspect of this role is knowing how to prioritise your boss's time - you'll need to make decisions about how they spend their time and who they spend it with - to best achieve their business objectives.

You'll get support with this, but you'll need to be confident in making decisions and prioritising - letting down gently those who cannot be accommodated in a busy diary.


You'll be there to create strong presentations for the CEO & Co-President and take on your own projects as and when capacity allows.

In short, you are the person who enables them to do their job, and in so doing have the inside track on everything it takes to effectively run this thriving company which is both UK and USA based.


Working closely with the General Manager, you will be involved in ensuring the office runs smoothly - from ensuring we're using the right systems, to helping to organise team building and social events to keep team morale high.
