Executive Assistant

North London (Hackney Wick/Crouch End) EASY COMMUTE TO N8 REQUIRED

£60,000 - £85,000 per annum (will pay high for the perfect candidate)

Permanent  

I  have a fantastic opportunity for a tech-literate Executive Assistant to support a CTO, unconventional technology leader working at the forefront of AI and software systems. This is a high-trust, high-impact role combining classic EA/PA responsibilities with hands-on personal operations and technical coordination. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-moving, non-traditional environments and is comfortable working with a principled, independent thinker with a strong point of view. Super boutique firm - a start-up AI/Fintech. Hybrid working.

What you’ll do:

• Complex diary and inbox management
• Travel planning and coordination
• Scheduling and managing meetings (including booking and logistics)
• Act as first point of contact for support interactions, including frontline technical support
• Source and coordinate talent/services for ad hoc, quality-of-life tasks
• Ensure smooth day-to-day functioning to maximise principal’s output
• Manage physical errands including storage organisation and item movement
• Handle parcels, equipment pickups/returns, and courier coordination
• Use company resources to coordinate outsourced solutions when needed
• Coordinate tradespeople, deliveries, and general household admin
• Manage light pet-aware logistics (small animals in household)
• Coordinate cleaning and household services
• Book appointments (e.g. healthcare, wellness)
• Arrange repairs and maintenance
• Handle insurance claims and administrative submissions
• Track relevant cultural events and opportunities
• Protect focused work time and manage scheduling boundaries
• Support hiring processes and liaise with HR
• Appointments, reservations, gifting, and returns
• Use LLMs and agentic tools (both off-the-shelf and custom-built)
• Engage with simple internal tools and experimental workflows
• Leverage automation and AI as a core part of the role

What you'll need:

• Proven experience supporting a tech founder, CTO, or similarly senior technical leader
• Strong technical literacy - confident interacting with and challenging support engineers
• High discretion - able to balance internal transparency with strict external confidentiality
• Comfortable working with unconventional personalities and environments
• Strong personality
• If you believe you could successfully operate as a PA to an intense, highly intellectual, and unpredictable public thinker, you will likely thrive in the role.
