At Gordon Murray Group, people and relationships are at the heart of everything we do. We are looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to provide comprehensive support to the Owners of the business, ensuring the smooth coordination of executive priorities, business operations, customer engagement, and VIP experiences.
Reporting directly to the Owners, this is a highly trusted and varied role that combines traditional executive support with customer hospitality, event coordination, and stakeholder management. You will act as a key liaison across the organisation, supporting senior leadership while helping to deliver the world-class customer experience synonymous with the Gordon Murray brand.

This is your chance to:
  • Provide comprehensive diary, inbox, and travel management for the Owners, anticipating requirements and proactively resolving scheduling conflicts.
  • Act as a primary point of coordination between the Owners and the GMG Leadership Team, ensuring information, actions, and decisions flow effectively across the business.
  • Prepare, format, and proofread correspondence, briefing papers, presentations, reports, and board materials with exceptional attention to detail.
  • Handle confidential and sensitive information with absolute discretion and professionalism.
  • Coordinate leadership meetings, including agenda preparation, minute-taking, and follow-up of actions and decisions.
  • Support a variety of business projects and initiatives on behalf of the Owners, liaising with internal departments, external advisers, and key stakeholders.
  • Assist in the planning and delivery of customer visits, VIP hospitality programmes, and corporate events, ensuring an exceptional guest experience.
  • Act as a key point of contact for high-value customers, partners, and guests, managing communications with warmth, professionalism, and discretion.
  • Coordinate seamlessly with internal teams and external suppliers to deliver successful events, visits, and hospitality activities.
  • Support launch events, showcases, and special customer experiences, including guest management, itineraries, logistics, and contingency planning.
  • Support gifting, welcome packs, and bespoke touches that enhance the overall customer journey.
  • Represent the business at customer visits and key events, ensuring a visible and professional presence throughout.
  • Gather feedback following customer interactions and events, sharing insights with the Leadership Team to help continuously improve the guest experience.
  • Support travel, event attendance, and customer commitments where required, including occasional evenings, weekends, and business travel.

  • Absolute discretion, integrity, and trustworthiness when handling confidential and commercially sensitive information.
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset with the ability to anticipate needs and resolve issues before they arise.
  • Flexible and willing to travel and work outside standard office hours when required to support customer events and business activities.
