About the Role
We are looking for a high-performance Executive Assistant to work directly with the CEO of a fast-growing real estate marketing agency.
This is not a traditional assistant role.
You will act as an extension of the CEO, ensuring that ideas are executed, operations move quickly, and the business runs efficiently day-to-day.
You’ll work directly with the CEO in a high-growth environment where decisions are made quickly, standards are high, and execution speed matters.
What You’ll Be Responsible For
Executive Support
• Manage the CEO’s calendar, meetings, and priorities
• Schedule and coordinate calls with clients, partners, and stakeholders
• Prepare meeting briefs and ensure the CEO is fully organised
• Take clear, structured notes and ensure all follow-ups are executed
Execution & Business Support
• Take direction from the CEO and turn ideas into action
• Track tasks across the business and ensure completion
• Follow up with team members to maintain momentum
• Act as a central point of coordination across departments
Operations Support
• Support internal operations to ensure everything runs smoothly
• Coordinate logistics (travel, bookings, uniforms, etc.)
• Assist with invoicing coordination and admin workflows
• Maintain organisation across systems and processes
Client & Brand Representation
• Represent the CEO in meetings, events, and communications
• Communicate professionally with clients and partners
• Be comfortable on camera (content, events, brand presence)
• Support with external brand presence where required
Tools You’ll Use
• Airtable (tracking, workflows, client data)
• Dropbox (file management, content organisation)
• Microsoft Excel (data tracking, reporting, organisation)
(Experience with these tools is a strong advantage, but the ability to learn quickly is essential.)
Who We’re Looking For
You are:
• Highly organised – you bring structure to chaos
• Proactive – you anticipate needs before being asked
• Fast-paced & energetic – you move quickly and efficiently
• Professional & polished – you represent the CEO at a high level
• Strong communicator – clear, confident, and articulate
• Personable – able to build relationships easily
• Detail-oriented – especially with notes and execution
• Reliable – when something is given to you, it gets done
Key Skills & Experience
• Experience in an Executive Assistant / PA / Operations role
• Strong administrative and organisational skills
• Excellent note-taking and follow-through
• Ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
Bonus (not essential):
• Experience in real estate, marketing, or media
• Experience in a fast-growing or startup environment
Work Environment
• Fast-paced, high-growth company
• High standards and strong performance culture
• Direct exposure to business growth and decision-making
• Clear progression into a more senior role based on performance
What Success Looks Like
• The CEO is no longer involved in day-to-day admin
• Tasks are executed quickly and efficiently
• Communication across the business improves
• Systems stay organised and up to date
• Nothing falls through the cracks
Important Note
We move fast. If you prefer a slow or highly structured corporate environment, this role is not for you.
Final Note
This role is ideal for someone who:
• Wants to work closely with leadership
• Thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• Is looking to grow alongside a scaling business
This is not a passive role — it is for someone who wants to move fast, execute, and grow with the business.
