You'll work across multiple businesses, departments and time zones, becoming a key part of our leadership team's ability to execute. • Every day is different. One day you could be coordinating recruitment, supporting a business launch, preparing board reports or organising international travel. The next, you'll be liaising with suppliers, chasing project deadlines, improving internal processes or helping solve operational challenges. • We're looking for someone who doesn't simply manage diaries—we're looking for someone who helps drive businesses forward. What this role isn't • This role isn't suited to someone who prefers routine, waits to be told what to do or enjoys working within clearly defined responsibilities. • Every day is different. Priorities change quickly and you'll often be juggling multiple projects across different businesses. Success in this role comes from taking ownership, thinking ahead and being comfortable making decisions. • If you're looking for a traditional Executive Assistant role focused primarily on diary management and administration, this position is unlikely to be the right fit.

Operations & Project Management • Coordinate multiple projects across different businesses. • Maintain project trackers and action logs. • Follow up with managers and team members to ensure actions are completed. • Hold colleagues accountable for agreed deadlines in a professional and respectful manner. • Escalate delays and risks before they become problems. • Coordinate business initiatives from planning through to completion. • Ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Business Operations • Support recruitment, onboarding and people-related activities. • Assist with operational, finance and administrative projects. • Coordinate suppliers, contractors and external partners. • Organise meetings, travel, events and logistics. • Conduct research and prepare business reports. • Provide support across multiple businesses as priorities evolve. Communication & Coordination • Liaise with teams across the UK and UAE. • Build strong relationships across departments. • Act as a central coordination point between the business owners and internal teams. • Ensure communication is clear, timely and followed through. • Maintain professionalism when dealing with clients, suppliers and senior stakeholders. Continuous Improvement • Identify opportunities to improve efficiency. • Recommend and implement better systems and processes. • Introduce structure where it's needed. • Help create a culture of organisation, accountability and continuous improvement. About you • We're far more interested in attitude than years of experience. • You're someone who naturally takes ownership, enjoys responsibility and doesn't wait to be asked. • You notice when something needs doing and simply get on with it. • You enjoy solving problems, keeping people accountable and ensuring work gets completed. • You're comfortable communicating with senior stakeholders and aren't afraid to professionally challenge people when deadlines are slipping. • You thrive in busy environments where priorities change regularly and every day brings new challenges. Non-Negotiables To be successful in this role, you will: • Naturally take ownership rather than wait for instructions. • Have exceptional written and spoken English. • Be highly organised with outstanding attention to detail. • Feel comfortable professionally challenging colleagues and following up until actions are completed. • Thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can change daily. • Be confident communicating with people at all levels of the business. • Enjoy solving problems rather than simply identifying them. • Be highly proficient with Microsoft Office and comfortable learning new technology. • Embrace AI and digital tools to improve productivity and efficiency. • Be flexible when required to support teams operating across UK and UAE business hours. • Maintain complete confidentiality and professionalism at all times.
