Our platforms and services are trusted by over 1000 clients globally, including the English Premier League, Red Bull, UEFA, VISA, the NFL, Nike and Amazon.

About the Role

We're looking for an experienced, proactive and personable Executive Assistant to join our Executive team in London - from where we work in the office most of the week. The role will work very closely with our Lead EA to the CEO and the wider EA Support Team. You'll take full ownership of a portfolio within our Group leadership team.

This is a varied, high-stakes role. You'll anticipate your executives' needs, manage competing priorities with full autonomy, and prepare them for the moments that matter. You'll build trusted relationships across the business and externally on their behalf, and you'll keep improving how you and your executives work, including through smart use of AI tools.

You'll already have proven full ownership of a senior portfolio. You're ready to go beyond keeping the diary under control, to shaping how your executive spends their time.
