The Diary Manager to the CEO will manage the CEO's busy schedule. Working closely with Private Secretaries and EAs and PAs across the organisation, the Diary Manager should play a proactive role in ensuring the CEO has everything they need for their days to run smoothly.

The Diary Manager must be a team player with an ability to work flexibly across the organisation, prioritising and managing their own workload amid conflicting demands and busy work periods. Excellent judgement and discretion, and an ability to promote a positive image to both internal and external stakeholders, are essential.

Key Responsibilities
  • Proactively manage the CEO's diary to ensure their time is used effectively to enable them to fulfil their internal and external obligations.

  • Work collaboratively with the wider EA/PA network to represent the CEO's views and deliver their priorities.

Key Outputs and Deliverables
  • Ensure the CEO's diary is managed in a way that enables them to operate effectively as they lead the organisation.
  • Effectively manage complex key external and internal stakeholder relationships, acting as the initial point of contact for stakeholders, and handling all queries in an efficient and professional manner to promote a positive image of the organisation.
  • Develop and maintain excellent working relationships with colleagues across the wider organisation, to ensure a high level of service to the CEO.
  • Work with Private Secretaries to ensure the CEO receives relevant papers and briefings for meetings in a timely manner, so that they have sufficient time to absorb the content and provide any feedback.
  • Brief and update the CEO and Private Secretaries with any pertinent information that may be required by them to function effectively in their roles.
  • Any other tasks commensurate with the role that are required by the CEO or Private Secretaries.
