At GWI we're always looking for extraordinary people who thrive on making an extraordinary impact. Right now we're looking for an Executive Assistant to play a key role in our Business Assistance team in London. If that's you, and making a difference gets you out of bed in the morning, keep reading. It could be the start of something, well, extraordinary.
Sounds great, what will I be doing? 🤔As our Executive Assistant you'll be the engine that keeps our Executive Team moving. You'll provide high-quality, proactive support to three senior leaders — helping them stay focused, organised, and ahead of the curve. This isn't a heads-down admin role; it's a high-trust, high-impact position at the centre of a fast-moving, data-driven business.
You'll serve as the primary point of contact for all matters pertaining to the Executive Team, from highly confidential communications to forward planning, travel, and events. You'll work closely with our existing EA team in a collaborative, autonomous environment where your ideas and initiative are genuinely encouraged.
A few things you'll be responsible for:
👉 Diary management and gatekeeping for the Executive Team — prioritising, protecting, and structuring their time so they can focus on what matters mostIt's also fun; shaking things up is what working for GWI is all about. You'll need to be flexible, comfortable with continuous change, and working in a high-tempo environment.
What do I need to bring with me? 🧳
You'll need to be able to demonstrate the core skills this role requires. You don't have to tick all the boxes right away; the important thing is that you're willing to learn. Here's what the team will be looking for in you:
👉 Proven EA experience (ideally in tech, SaaS, or growth companies) supporting C-suite leaders, with the instincts and trust needed to work at this level.👉 High proficiency in Google Suite and Microsoft packages
👉 Strong problem-solving skills with an ability to identify challenges, understands their root causes and develops practical, effective solutions.
👉 Collaborates with AI effectively, ethically, and safely, using it as a thinking partner woven into how we work and solve problems, without losing sight of human judgement, while staying curious about its evolving capabilities and limits.
Equally important is attitude. We want people who think big (to make an impact), ask why (to find a better way), and show respect (to everyone, at every level, all the time). Those are our values, and they're a big part of what we're looking for in you.
