Executive Assistant An Executive Assistant is required to support the Group CEO of a pioneering Nasdaq-listed Artificial Intelligence business poised for substantial global growth.
Although the business is valued at around $1bn, it is still relatively early in its journey, with operations spanning London, the US, mainland Europe, and Asia.
Role Overview As the London-based team is relatively small but growing rapidly, the role will initially involve mainly remote working, transitioning to a hybrid format, and eventually becoming office-based from 9-6pm, Monday to Friday, as the London team expands.
The Group CEO is London-based but frequently travels overseas to manage the Group's diverse office locations.
This long-term role is designed to grow alongside the CEO as he builds the London-based team.
Therefore, the EA must be able to conveniently commute into central London, though this is expected to be infrequent in the short term.
Opportunity Joining a high-growth, innovative artificial intelligence business listed on a US stock exchange, this role offers an exciting entrepreneurial environment with the stability of significant resources.
Being one of the early members of the London team provides an unparalleled opportunity to accelerate your career.
It is expected that the EA will become a key figure within the team, gaining a deep understanding of the business and potentially transitioning into senior roles in departments such as Marketing or Operations, supported by relevant training.

Organisational Strengths : Effective prioritisation of urgent and non-urgent but highly important tasks while managing a balanced workload.
High levels of attention to detail and the ability to maintain concentration on complex tasks.
Communication & Confidentiality : Dependable and discreet, with the ability to coordinate across multiple time zones.
Able to maintain confidentiality, given the company's status as a publicly traded entity on a US stock exchange.
Flexibility : Willingness to assist with urgent and highly important matters occasionally outside core working hours when the CEO is overseas.
To clarify, there is no expectation for the EA to mirror the CEO's hours when traveling abroad.
