Expiry : 04/11/2025
£45,000 TO £55,000
UK
Contract Type: Perm

Are you an organised, proactive, and detail-driven EA/Administrator who loves creating order from chaos? This is a rare opportunity to join a thriving boutique high-end contractor that specialises in residential projects across Wimbledon, Chelsea, Kensington, Notting Hill and more.

This is not your typical corporate environment. You’ll be joining a small, close-knit team where everyone supports each other, and no two days are the same. The business is growing fast, and the CEO needs a true right-hand partner to take control of his admin, streamline processes, and give him the space to focus on driving the company forward.

** OFFICES ARE BASED IN PUTNEY - FREE PARKING **

What you’ll be doing

  • Acting as gatekeeper and protecting the CEO’s time
  • Managing a busy, ever-changing diary and inbox
  • Setting up and modernising systems (HR, operations, efficiencies)
  • Being the first point of contact for clients and partners
  • Representing the CEO in meetings
  • Coordinating recruitment and onboarding for new hires
  • Liaising with third-party suppliers
  • Supporting with occasional personal admin and diary tasks

What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years of EA/admin/ops/HR experience
  • A confident, resourceful organiser with exceptional attention to detail
  • Sense of humour!
  • Process-driven, IT-savvy (advanced in Word, Excel, PowerPoint) and highly numerate
  • A proactive problem solver with common sense and initiative
  • Interest in property, interiors, or architecture
  • Comfortable working in a small, fast-paced business where you’ll wear many hats
  • MUST be able to drive – the office is best accessed by car

Why this role?

  • Make it your own – the CEO has never had an EA before, so you’ll have the chance to set up systems and processes from scratch.
  • Real impact – your work will directly free up the CEO’s time to focus on growth. Flexibility – while you’ll be office-based, hours can flex around life commitments
  • Collaborative culture – a small, family-feel environment where your voice matters.
  • Exciting sector – immerse yourself in beautiful property, design, and interiors projects.
  • Prop development/ Construction/Property maintenance experience would be a bonus!
