We are partnered with a fast-growing international technology company seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant to the CEO to become a trusted partner within the CEO's office. This is a highly international role requiring up to approximately six months of travel per year with the CEO, across Europe, the US, Asia & other global markets. The ideal candidate will genuinely enjoy international travel, adapt easily to different environments & be comfortable operating at a senior level while constantly on the move.

 

Key Responsibilities:

  • Own the CEO's diary, priorities & meeting schedule across multiple time zones.
  • Act as a trusted gatekeeper, managing correspondence, requests & communications.
  • Prepare briefings, presentations, agendas & supporting materials for meetings.
  • Anticipate requirements & proactively resolve issues before they arise.

 

International Travel & Representation:

 

  • Travel extensively with the CEO, potentially up to six months per year, including extended international trips.
  • Manage complex itineraries, flights, hotels, visas, transportation & last-minute changes.
  • Coordinate client meetings, investor engagements, conferences, trade fairs & institutional events.
  • Accompany the CEO at formal dinners & high-level representative engagements.

 

Board, Investor & Legal Support:

 

  • Coordinate Board, investor & senior leadership meetings, including materials, minutes & follow-up.
  • Draft & review correspondence, presentations & business documentation on behalf of the CEO.
  • Review contracts, agreements & legal documentation, identifying key points & issues for discussion with external counsel.
  • Liaise with legal advisors & internal stakeholders on contractual & corporate matters.
  • Handle highly confidential financial, strategic, commercial & personnel information.

 

Projects & Coordination:

 

  • Track CEO priorities & ensure actions are followed through to completion.
  • Coordinate with international offices, senior management & external stakeholders.
  • Support special projects, company events, offsites & growth initiatives.
  • Manage expenses, suppliers & administrative requirements while continuously improving processes.

 

About You:

 

  • 3+ years' experience supporting a CEO, Founder, Partner or senior executive within a sophisticated international organisation; experience from top-tier consulting, professional services, investment or multinational environments is preferred.
  • A legal background is essential, ideally a degree in Law with practical experience in contract review, corporate documentation or working closely with legal counsel.
  • Native/C2 English with excellent written & verbal communication skills.
  • Strong organisational skills, commercial awareness & confidence working with senior stakeholders.
  • Excellent Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace skills.
  • Italian language skills are advantageous.

 

The Ideal Candidate:

 

We are looking for someone intelligent, polished, proactive & exceptionally discreet, combining strong executive support capability with a genuine legal foundation. You will have the judgement to understand when matters can be handled independently & when they should be escalated to external counsel.

You will be calm under pressure, highly adaptable & comfortable in formal international environments, with the flexibility to operate effectively across different countries, cultures & time zones.

 

Extensive travel is fundamental to this position. Candidates must be willing & able to spend up to approximately six months per year travelling internationally with the CEO.
