Executive Assistant to CEO

Start-Up
Shoreditch, East London - Hybrid
Immediate Start
4–6 Week Contract
£28.85 – £38/hour + holiday pay

A fast-growing tech start-up in East London is looking for a proactive and resilient Executive Assistant to support the CEO during a particularly busy period of growth and transition.

This is a high-volume, fast-paced role supporting an experienced founder in an ambitious start-up environment where priorities move quickly and no two days are the same. The current EA is leaving, so there will be a handover period starting next week.

The role will involve complex diary management, international travel coordination, expenses, inbox support and wider day-to-day executive support tasks. You’ll act as a true right hand to the CEO, helping keep things organised and moving in a fast-changing environment.

They are looking for someone who is:
• Experienced supporting senior executives/founders within fast-paced environments
• Calm under pressure with strong resilience and judgement
• Proactive, highly organised and happy to take ownership
• Comfortable dealing with senior stakeholders and ambiguity
• Able to pick things up quickly and work at pace
• Happy working flexibly when needed outside core hours
• Ideally from a tech, start-up, consultancy or similarly fast-moving environment

Hybrid working from their Shoreditch office. Core hours are typically 9am–6pm, although some flexibility is needed depending on business demands.
