Description

We have an exciting opportunity for an Executive Assistant to the CEO to join our business, as we enter our next stage of growth.

As EA to the CEO, you will be responsible for operational and business-related duties, while providing an extensive level of support to the CEO and the executive team. ENODA's EA are not just assistants but essential strategic partners in driving success.

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, your priority will be to make the best of the CEO’s time. You will need to be available during hours outside of the usual UK working day to align with travelling executives in other time zones and key company initiatives.

To be successful, you'll need to have an extensive track record of working in a fast-paced environment, as well as excellent communication and planning skills. You'll be expected to exercise sound judgement, manage multiple tasks at once, and maintain confidentiality while prioritising the CEO’s workload, ensuring they are in the right place, at the right time, and fully briefed with the right information.

This role will require occasional travel between London and our Edinburgh HQ.
