The role


We are looking for a Senior Executive Assistant to support the Vice President, Europe. Based in London, you will be a trusted partner who helps the VP focus on the most important priorities and turn them into action across the UK and Europe.

You thrive in a fast-paced, international and matrixed environment. Organised, analytical and resourceful, you bring strong business acumen and communication skills, enabling you to work effectively with people across a range of teams and functions. Beyond executive coordination, you anticipate needs, shape priorities, connect teams and take ownership of key initiatives. You exercise sound judgement, work with a high degree of autonomy and accountability, and bring enthusiasm, discretion and professional integrity to everything you do.


What you’ll do
  • Anticipate and prepare: Stay ahead of the VP’s needs, prepare for key discussions and decisions, spot potential blockers early and recommend options before issues become urgent.
  • Enable effective execution: Support the VP’s priorities and operating rhythm; manage a complex calendar, protect focus time and assess requests with sound judgement.
  • Drive selected initiatives: from planning through delivery, check milestones, coordinate stakeholders and ensure commitments are followed through.
  • Connect teams and keep work aligned: Build trusted relationships across the UK and Europe, facilitate communication across a matrixed organisation, and raise risks or decisions at the right time.
  • Develop decision-ready materials: Gather information, conduct targeted research, synthesise key issues and prepare clear reports, presentations and meeting notes.
  • Coordinate executive engagements: Arrange domestic and international travel, sensitive meetings, professional events, team gatherings and on-sites.
  • Improve ways of working: Identify friction, simplify processes and introduce practical tools and approaches that make coordination more effective.
  • Use discretion and sound judgement: Handle confidential information with care and integrity, particularly when managing sensitive matters.


What we’re looking for


  • Significant experience supporting senior leaders and the ability to operate as a trusted partner in a demanding environment.
  • A naturally proactive approach: you spot what needs attention, identify opportunities to move work forward and act without waiting for detailed instructions.
  • Strong autonomy and reliability, with the judgement to involve the right people or escalate at the right time.
  • Excellent operational judgement and prioritisation skills, including the ability to stay effective when plans change at short notice.
  • A track record of organising and driving multiple workstreams, maintaining momentum and following through to resolution.
  • Clear, thoughtful and confident communication with stakeholders at all levels, both in writing and in person.
  • Comfort working in an international, matrixed organisation with stakeholders across time zones.
  • High integrity, discretion and attention to detail.
  • The ability to learn new tools quickly and use technology to improve efficiency; familiarity with Google Workspace and AI is an advantage.
  • A genuine interest in dynamic, evolving environments and in Snap’s energy, creativity and products.

Experience and qualifications
  • Significant years of relevant experience in executive support, business operations, project leadership or a similarly high-responsibility role.
  • Demonstrated experience managing complex priorities and driving cross-functional initiatives with senior stakeholders.
  • Experience preparing leadership materials and coordinating events, off-sites and complex travel.
  • Experience in technology, media or a high-growth company is an advantage.
  • Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience.

If you have a disability or special need that requires accommodation, please provide us some information.
