Cambridge, United Kingdom SoftIron Full time

**About SoftIron**

We’re building a different kind of IT company, one that meets our customers and our own team on their turf, on their terms. We’re growing fast right now and you can be part of it with all the opportunities to add value that come with that. Curious? Great That’s what we like in a Softie

Our Softies are a diverse and globally distributed team that are on a mission to change the future of data infrastructure with task-specific hardware and open source. We aim to do all the hard work so that our customers can adopt the best open source has to offer in a bulletproof and resilient way. Our team thinks differently, working as an integrated but globally dispersed team of experts in hardware manufacturing, firmware, software, infrastructure and everything in between.

As we grow our operations, we're looking for an Executive Assistant to support our C Suite.

**Responsibilities**
- Remaining flexible, understanding and organized while problem solving across multiple time zones.
- Implementing systems and processes to create ease and efficiencies for the executives you’re supporting

**Desired expertise**

This is a role for someone highly organized and tech savvy, with great communication skills and a sense of humor. Your experience as a Personal Assistant or Executive Assistant allows you to problem solve with creativity and be able to work things out with little direction. Maintaining flexibility in your approach, managing deadlines and influencing desired outcomes will be key in your success. You will have:

- 2-3 years experience operating in a similar role
- Comfort in working with all levels of management
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Excellent calendar management skills, ideally across multiple time zones
- Confidence in booking travel
- Ability to adapt your communication and support skills to best suit your executive/s way of operating
- Comfort with learning new and using new technology to organise and automate working

**Location**

We operate globally and also have some pretty cool offices worldwide. Time travel (aka time zone optimization) is one of our superpowers and we use this to our best advantage in setting up teams and how we work. To work successfully in this role you must be within a comfortable daily commute time to Cambridge. This is a hybrid role, with a combination of remote and in office work, and as we grow we anticipate the in office time will increase.

**Benefits**

We pay competitively in the market in which you are located, and provide an attractive benefits package including significant share options in our fast growing, mid-stage start-up. You can expect benefits such as share options, a home set up budget for remote work and localized retirement and health benefits among others.

**Recruitment agencies**

We work with like-minded companies across all of our business. We’re not into vendor lock-in of any type, we don’t do the hard sell and we treat time and attention as valuable resources.

Recruitment agents, please don’t send us unsolicited resumes or CVs unless we’ve asked you to work with us on the role - it just shows us you’re not our type.
