  • Handling highly sensitive information with absolute discretion and professionalism

You will operate as a calm, confident presence in a high-pressure environment, bringing structure, clarity and sound judgement to everything you do.

You will bring:

  • At least 5 years' experience supporting a CEO / Founder in a fast-paced, high-stakes environment
  • Strong commercial awareness, ideally with exposure to B2B SaaS, investment or entrepreneurial businesses
  • Exceptional organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail
  • Excellent written and verbal communication, with the confidence to represent the Founder
  • High EQ, sound judgement and the ability to anticipate needs before they arise
  • A calm, agile mindset and the ability to adapt quickly to changing priorities
