**About International Water Solutions (IWS)**

At International Water Solutions (IWS), we are revolutionising water treatment solutions, enabling industries to achieve sustainability, compliance, and operational excellence. As the Founder, my focus is on high-impact growth strategies, and I need a strategic, proactive, and highly organised Executive Assistant to optimise my time and drive efficiency across the business.

This is not a traditional administrative role. You will be a key partner, ensuring I can focus on strategy, innovation, and scaling the business, while you take charge of execution, organisation, and critical communication.

This is a hybrid role, primarily remote working from home, but with occasional in-person meetings as required. A **valid driving license** is essential. **Therefore your location is not that important.**
