THE OPPORTUNITY
We are delighted to be partnering with a highly respected UK-based construction and infrastructure software business that plays a critical role in helping organisations operate safely, compliantly and commercially across the built environment.
As the company continues to grow and evolve, they are seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to support their Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer. This is a senior-impact EA role at the heart of the business, suited either to an established C-suite Executive Assistant or to a high-performing senior EA ready to step up into a true C-suite environment.

This is a role for an EA who enjoys responsibility, thrives in a fast-moving environment and wants to be closely involved in how a business is run.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT

You will be supporting two highly engaged, approachable leaders who value their EA partnership and see this role as pivotal to the pace, clarity and success of the organisation. Flexibility is important, but so is visibility and being part of the leadership rhythm of the business.
