Executive Assistant to Female CEO

Executive Assistant to Founder (Business, Personal & Driving Support)

Contract: 3–6 months (with potential to extend)

Time: 4 days per week (Monday to Thursday)

Location: Midlands / London (travel required)

Overview

We are seeking an exceptional, discreet, and highly organised Executive Assistant to support the Founder & CEO of Learning DNA during a critical period of growth, fundraising, and operational change.

This is a true right-hand role, combining business support, personal assistance, and driving/logistics. The purpose of the role is simple: to materially reduce cognitive load and friction across both professional and personal life, allowing the Founder to focus on high-value decision-making.

This role suits someone who is calm, practical, proactive, and takes pride in quietly making life run smoothly.

Core Responsibilities****Executive & Business Support

• Full ownership of inbox and calendar management
• Prioritising communications and drafting responses where appropriate
• Scheduling meetings, calls, travel, and logistics with minimal input
• Preparing meeting briefs, agendas, and follow-ups
• Tracking actions and ensuring tasks are completed without prompting
• Liaising with investors, advisors, lawyers, accountants, and other stakeholders
• Handling confidential information with discretion and sound judgement

Personal & Family Support

• Managing personal admin to reduce overall load, including:
• Booking family and personal appointments (medical, school, household, etc.)
• Managing reminders and deadlines
• Researching and purchasing gifts (birthdays, events, Christmas, etc.)
• Coordinating family logistics where required
• Acting as a trusted point of coordination across work and personal life
• Anticipating needs and handling tasks proactively, not reactively

Driving & Logistics

• Driving the Founder to and from meetings, site visits, and events as needed
• Managing routes, timing, and schedules to maximise efficiency
• Ensuring the vehicle is clean, fuelled, and ready when needed
• Enabling the Founder to work during travel time (calls, preparation, notes)

What We’re Looking For

• Proven experience supporting a Founder, CEO, or senior executive
• Comfortable managing both business and personal tasks with discretion
• Excellent written communication and organisational skills
• High emotional intelligence and strong judgement
• Calm, solution-oriented, and unflappable under pressure
• Happy to be hands-on — this is not a purely desk-based role
• Full UK driving licence with a clean driving record
• Flexible and reliable approach to hours and travel

What This Role Is (and Is Not)

This role IS:

• Trusted, close-proximity support
• Varied, practical, and impactful
• About removing friction from a busy Founder’s life

This role is NOT:

• A Chief of Staff or strategy role
• A purely administrative position
• A long-term guaranteed role (though it could evolve)
