Executive Assistant to Chief Strategy Officer

Are you an ambitious professional looking to launch your career at the intersection of global impact and high-level strategy? Hays Business Support is thrilled to partner with a renowned, not-for-profit leader in the telecommunications sector to find an exceptional Executive Assistant. This is a rare, 1:1 mentorship-style opportunity to work directly alongside a newly appointed Chief Strategy Officer, providing you with an unparalleled front-row seat to the decision-making processes that shape a global organization. If you are a proactive problem-solver who thrives in fast-paced environments, this role offers the perfect launchpad to accelerate your professional growth.

In this high-stakes, strategic role, you will be far more than an assistant; you will be the trusted right hand to the CSO. Your day-to-day will involve navigating complex international travel logistics, managing sophisticated diary operations, and cultivating vital stakeholder relationships across the globe. We are looking for someone with a sharp, anticipatory mindset who can think three steps ahead, prioritize competing demands with ease, and act as a seamless extension of the CSO’s office. If you are ready to trade the ordinary for a career-defining challenge where your organizational brilliance and strategic instincts will truly make a difference, we want to hear from you.
