Are you an experienced Executive Assistant who can stay one step ahead of a busy CEO?
 
My Key Recruitment is working with an established, fast-growing healthcare business in Watford to recruit an exceptional Executive Assistant to the CEO.
 
This isn''t your typical PA/EA role. We''re looking for someone who can bring calm to a busy working day, confidently manage changing priorities and become a trusted right hand to a hands-on CEO.

You''ll need to be organised, proactive and confident enough to challenge decisions when necessary, while remaining personable, professional and discreet.
 
The Role as an Executive Assistant to the CEO:
 
As Executive Assistant to the CEO, you''ll be responsible for:
  • Managing complex diaries, inboxes and competing priorities.
  • Coordinating UK and international travel, meetings and events.
  • Protecting the CEO''s time and confidently challenging diary requests.
  • Preparing reports, presentations and meeting documentation.
  • Liaising with senior managers, customers, suppliers and external stakeholders.
  • Tracking actions, following up on commitments and ensuring deadlines are met.
  • Handling confidential information with complete discretion.
  • Anticipating requirements and resolving problems without constant direction.
  • Supporting wider business activities and getting involved wherever needed.
About You:
 
We''re looking for a Executive Assistant to the CEO who:
  • Has proven experience supporting a CEO, Managing Director or senior executive.
  • Is confident, approachable and comfortable dealing with people at all levels.
  • Can think independently, take ownership and make decisions within their remit.
  • Remains calm and organised when priorities change.
  • Has excellent communication, diary management and organisational skills.
  • Is comfortable challenging requests and having difficult conversations professionally.
  • Enjoys working in a fast-paced business where everyone gets stuck in.
  • Has strong Microsoft Office skills and excellent attention to detail.
Experience within healthcare or a regulated industry would be advantageous, but isn''t essential.
 
What''s on Offer for the Executive Assistant to the CEO?
  • Negotiable salary, depending on experience.
  • Hybrid working arrangements.
  • A varied role working directly alongside the CEO.
  • Genuine responsibility, autonomy and the opportunity to make a difference.
  • A friendly, ambitious and growing business.
Interested in the role as an Executive Assistant to the CEO?
