Powering Great Work We started as the place to find a trusted trade. Now, as we shape the future of home improvement, we're building the tech to transform that landscape for everyone - better products, smarter data, AI where it actually helps - so trades can spend less time on admin and consumers can find someone they trust, first time. That's Powering Great Work, and it's why every team here exists: 🔧 Trades spend less time on admin and more on winning work and growing their business 🏠 Homeowners get a trusted trade, first time, every time 🚀 We get to build products that change homes and lives across the country As our next Executive Assistant to the CEO, you'll keep the day-to-day running smoothly so they can focus on the big calls. You'll own the diary, the priorities and the details in between, with a seat close to the decisions shaping Checkatrade's next chapter. It's a 12-month fixed-term contract covering maternity leave. The job, unfiltered: Own the CEO's diary end to end: prioritise what matters, protect focus time and make sure every meeting has a clear purpose and the right people in the room. Coordinate board and leadership meetings: pull the papers together, chase actions and make sure nothing falls through the cracks between sessions. Manage complex travel and itineraries, so the CEO turns up ready and without the faff. Be the first point of contact for the CEO, handling sensitive and confidential information with discretion and representing them well with senior stakeholders, investors and the exec team. Keep the leadership team's rhythm on track by coordinating offsites, leadership meetings and the cross-team moments that keep everyone aligned. Spot where things could run better and fix them. You'll have real ownership of how the CEO's office runs day to day. The fit: Experience supporting a CEO, founder or senior executive in a fast-moving business, ideally at C-suite level. A sharp eye for detail, and the judgement to know what's urgent, what's important and what can wait. Total discretion with confidential and sensitive information. People trust you with the details that matter. A calm, organised approach under pressure, with the confidence to manage upwards and push back when needed. (Don't self-select out because you don't tick every box. We'd rather meet you.) What you get 💰 Competitive salary, annual bonus & equity scheme 🩺 Health, wellbeing and learning support 🚲 Gym membership, Smart Tech Scheme, Cycle Scheme 🎂 Birthday/special day leave, buy & sell holiday scheme ❤️ 1 week's paid charity leave, and more How this goes Screening call with one of our Talent Acquisition Partners 1st stage interview with our Senior Executive Assistants 2nd stage interview with the VP Strategy and Corporate Development 3rd stage interview with our CEO Not this one?
