Ready to take your EA career to the next level and operate as a true strategic partner at the heart of a fast-evolving tech business? This is your opportunity.
At OneAdvanced, we’re seeking a highly capable and forward-thinking Executive Assistant to support our Chief People Officer. This is not a traditional EA role focused purely on diary management — it’s an opportunity to play a critical role in enabling leadership effectiveness and supporting the growth of the business.
You will act as a trusted partner, bringing structure, foresight, and a strong sense of ownership to how time, priorities, and outcomes are managed. You’ll anticipate needs, think ahead, and ensure the CPO is focused on the highest-impact activities.
Working as part of a collaborative EA team, you’ll gain exposure to senior decision-making and play a key role in driving alignment, execution, and operational excellence across the People function.
This is a hybrid role, with an expectation of 2–3 days per week in our Birmingham office.
Act as a strategic partner to the CPO, proactively managing priorities to maximise impact and effectiveness
Plan and optimise time with a forward-looking, outcome-led approach — not just scheduling, but enabling delivery against business goals
Anticipate needs, identify risks, and ensure the CPO is always prepared and focused on the right priorities
Proactively manage complex diaries and inboxes, maintaining the highest levels of confidentiality
Screen, prioritise, and respond to communications on behalf of senior leadership
Coordinate and drive preparation for key meetings, ensuring materials are high-quality, timely, and outcome-focused
Collate, track, and follow up on actions, ensuring momentum and accountability across leadership forums
Liaise confidently with internal teams, stakeholders, and clients on behalf of the CPO
Draft high-quality communications, briefings, and presentations
Coordinate UK and international travel, ensuring seamless and efficient planning
Support the planning and delivery of key business events (e.g. Town Halls, leadership sessions)
Contribute to wider projects and continuous improvement across the EA function #LI-KI1
Proven experience as an Executive Assistant at C-suite level, with the ability to operate as a trusted strategic partner
Strong commercial awareness and an understanding of how to align time and priorities to business outcomes
Exceptional attention to detail and pride in delivering high-quality, accurate work
Highly organised with a forward-thinking, proactive approach to planning and problem-solving
Ability to anticipate needs, think ahead, and manage competing priorities with confidence
Excellent communication skills, with the ability to influence and build relationships at all levels
High levels of discretion, professionalism, and emotional intelligence
Resilient and adaptable in a fast-paced, changing environment
A collaborative mindset, contributing positively to a high-performing EA team
Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Teams, Word, PowerPoint)
