Job Description

We're looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to support the Chair / CEO of a leading global talent business.

This is not a traditional EA role. We're looking for someone who is proactive, commercially minded and always one step ahead. You'll be a true right-hand partner, helping to manage priorities, build relationships and ensure everything runs seamlessly behind the scenes.

The ideal candidate will have experience supporting senior leaders within media, entertainment, talent, broadcast, agency or similarly relationship-driven industries. You'll be comfortable working with high-profile clients and stakeholders, possess exceptional emotional intelligence, and have the confidence to operate autonomously while maintaining absolute discretion.

Highly organised, resourceful and solutions-focused, you'll thrive in a fast-paced environment, anticipating needs before they arise and ensuring every interaction is professional, well prepared and impactful.

The Role

As Executive Assistant, you'll provide high-level support across diary management, stakeholder engagement, meeting preparation, travel coordination and executive operations.

You'll play a critical role in helping the Chair / CEO operate effectively, ensuring priorities are managed seamlessly and every interaction is professional, well-prepared and impactful.

• Manage a highly complex and ever-changing diary, coordinating 30-40+ meetings per week
• Prioritise competing demands and proactively manage scheduling challenges
• Coordinate meetings across multiple stakeholders, locations and time zones
• Act as a trusted gatekeeper, ensuring time is spent on the highest priorities

Stakeholder & Client Management

• Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders, clients, talent and external partners
• Act as a key point of contact on behalf of the executive
• Represent the business with professionalism, discretion and credibility

Research & Meeting Preparation

• Prepare high-quality briefing packs, presentations and meeting materials
• Research clients, companies and key stakeholders ahead of meetings
• Ensure the executive is always informed, prepared and positioned for success

Travel & Executive Operations

• Coordinate complex international and domestic travel arrangements
• Manage expenses and executive administration
• Support projects and priorities as required

What you’ll bring:

• Significant experience supporting C-suite executives, CEOs, Founders or Chairs
• Experience within media, entertainment, talent, broadcast or agency environments
• Proven ability to manage complex diaries and competing priorities
• Exceptional organisational and communication skills
• Strong stakeholder management and relationship-building abilities
• Experience supporting high-profile executives and clients
• Advanced PowerPoint, Outlook and Microsoft Office skills
• High levels of discretion, judgement and professionalism

What you’re good at:

• Proactive and always thinking three steps ahead
• Highly organised with exceptional attention to detail
• Calm, adaptable and solutions-focused under pressure
• Commercially aware with strong emotional intelligence
• Confident building relationships with senior stakeholders and clients
• Naturally curious, resourceful and motivated
• A genuine team player with a positive, can-do attitude

This role would suit a standout EA who enjoys being at the heart of a fast-moving business and operating as a genuine business partner rather than simply providing administrative support.
