Executive Assistant / Execution Support

Part-Time Executive Assistant / Execution Support (2–5 hrs/week to start)

We’re looking for someone to help keep things moving.

This is a small, fast-paced, founder-led environment across three interconnected businesses. There’s a lot going on, and we need someone who can help ensure the right things actually get done — not just discussed.

The Role

You’ll be supporting our Operations Director to:

• Stay on top of tasks coming from multiple directions
• Make sure work progresses and gets finished
• Keep things organised and visible
• Help spot when something is at risk of slipping

A big part of the role is follow-through and accountability — making sure nothing quietly falls off the radar.

What you’ll be doing day to day

• Keeping track of tasks and priorities
• Following up on outstanding work
• Helping organise workload and next steps
• Flagging anything that’s blocked or at risk
• Helping prepare clear escalation when needed
• Supporting admin (emails, chasing, coordination, etc.)
• Helping track time and workload to understand capacity

How we work

• We move quickly and prioritise execution — the focus is usually on getting things done rather than discussing them at length
• High level priorities are set centrally by the Technical Director, with the Operations Director coordinating day-to-day execution and prioritising requests from internal and external stakeholders
• Your role is to help keep things organised, moving, and visible
• Where something doesn’t fit or is at risk, you flag it clearly so it can be resolved quickly
• Communication is direct and to the point — clarity and progress are valued over formality

The environment

We are a neurodiverse team, including autism and ADHD.

That means:

• Communication can be direct or blunt, especially under pressure
• Structure and follow-through really matter
• Clear thinking and low-friction working are highly valued
• Lots of things happening at once - if you thrive on bringing order out of chaos, you'll fit right in

You’ll be a good fit if you:

• Are highly organised and detail-oriented
• Are comfortable gently and professionally holding your senior accountable
• Can work within clear structures and boundaries
• Prefer getting things done over discussing them
• Excellent standard of written and conversational English

If this is you, we'd love to hear your thoughts.
