Are you an experienced Executive Assistant who can stay one step ahead of a busy CEO?
 
My Key Recruitment is working with an established, fast-growing healthcare business in Watford to recruit an exceptional Executive Assistant to the CEO.
 
This isn''t your typical PA/EA role. We''re looking for someone who can bring calm to a busy working day, confidently manage changing priorities and become a trusted right hand to a hands-on CEO.

You''ll need to be organised, proactive and confident enough to challenge decisions when necessary, while remaining personable, professional and discreet.
 
The Role as an Executive Assistant to the CEO:
 
As Executive Assistant to the CEO, you''ll be responsible for:

• Managing complex diaries, inboxes and competing priorities.
• Coordinating UK and international travel, meetings and events.
• Protecting the CEO''s time and confidently challenging diary requests.
• Preparing reports, presentations and meeting documentation.
• Liaising with senior managers, customers, suppliers and external stakeholders.
• Tracking actions, following up on commitments and ensuring deadlines are met.
• Handling confidential information with complete discretion.
• Anticipating requirements and resolving problems without constant direction.
• Supporting wider business activities and getting involved wherever needed.

About You:
 
We''re looking for a Executive Assistant to the CEO who:

• Has proven experience supporting a CEO, Managing Director or senior executive.
• Is confident, approachable and comfortable dealing with people at all levels.
• Can think independently, take ownership and make decisions within their remit.
• Remains calm and organised when priorities change.
• Has excellent communication, diary management and organisational skills.
• Is comfortable challenging requests and having difficult conversations professionally.
• Enjoys working in a fast-paced business where everyone gets stuck in.
• Has strong Microsoft Office skills and excellent attention to detail.

Experience within healthcare or a regulated industry would be advantageous, but isn''t essential.
 
What''s on Offer for the Executive Assistant to the CEO?

• Negotiable salary, depending on experience.
• Hybrid working arrangements.
• A varied role working directly alongside the CEO.
• Genuine responsibility, autonomy and the opportunity to make a difference.
• A friendly, ambitious and growing business.
