The Executive Assistant is responsible for providing high-impact administrative and operational support to three senior executives in the Information Technology organization. This role ensures the leaders can focus on strategic priorities by managing complex calendars, coordinating cross-functional meetings and events, handling sensitive communications, and driving operational rhythm across globally distributed teams.
This position reports to the Vice President, Digital, Data & AI, and will be an on-site role based in the UK.
What you will do
+ Own the calendars and schedules for three executives across multiple time zones — resolve conflicts, protect prep time, and make sure the right meetings get priority.
+ Run the operating rhythm for leadership teams, including recurring meetings, quarterly reviews, and governance cadences. This means agendas, pre-reads, action tracking, and making sure things actually get followed up on.
+ Handle travel, expenses, finance management tasks and event logistics end to end, covering international travel coordination, budget management, offsites, workshops, and team events.
+ Act as the operational glue within the team — triaging requests, routing information, maintaining distribution lists and shared trackers, and flagging anything time-sensitive before it becomes a problem.
Who you are
+ Bachelor’s degree or equivalent professional qualification.
+ 2 years of experience as an executive assistant, senior administrative professional, or chief of staff supporting VP-level or above leadership in a matrixed, global organization.
+ Proficiency in Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Teams, PowerPoint, Excel, SharePoint, OneDrive) with demonstrated ability to build polished executive-level presentations and manage complex shared calendars.
+ Experience supporting multiple executives simultaneously across different functional areas or business units.
+ Demonstrated experience coordinating international travel logistics and managing corporate expense reporting systems (e.g., Concur or equivalent).
