Executive Assistant

Healthcare systems are struggling; our solution is communication.

We have a bold vision: everyone involved in a patient’s care - including the patient - should be able to communicate easily with each other. And we believe every NHS staff member should be using our software to make that happen. We want to make healthcare genuinely better.

We are solving one of the biggest challenges of our generation, and to do this, we need the best talent possible to help us raise the bar… this is where you come in.

Our products are used daily (and you will have most certainly received a message from us) by over 98% of GP practices and half of NHS hospitals, impacting millions of lives. As a Executive Assistant, your role will be mission-critical and you will be central to shaping the core communication infrastructure of the NHS. You'll directly enable faster, safer, and more accessible patient care.

The Unique Challenges You'll Solve

This isn't just about managing diaries and organising the inbox - this is an Executive Assistant role with a difference. You'll be:

• A true right hand to the executive - from forward planning and project management to events and offsites, you'll operate three steps ahead to ensure their time is protected and they are operating strategically and effectively

• Ensuring the executive is spending time in line with their priorities and company objective - challenging and pushing back when appropriate, able to effectively identify what should be prioritised and what can be delegated to the executive's direct reports

• Supporting the executive with strategic projects both internally and externally of the business - including OKR setting and tracking, preparing for meetings & ensuring the executive has the required information from various stakeholders

What We're Looking For

We need an Executive Assistant who embodies our Principles and thrives on significant challenges. We're seeking the core skills below, coupled with a mindset ready for real impact.

• Experienced Executive Assistant supporting senior leaders in a fast-paced environment, ideally from a start-up/scale up where you were solely responsible for diary, inbox and travel management

• Expert communication skills, able to communicate effectively with colleagues and external stakeholders on behalf of the executive

• You are able to think multiple steps ahead of your executive, actioning potential next steps before they’ve even considered them

• You're naturally obsessed with and into the detail - if it's a slide deck, report or formatting, you're all over it until it's just right

• You are highly adaptable - a chameleon when it comes to changing priorities and plans changing, you thrive in this and do your best work here

• If you have experience in a B2B SaaS business - even better.

Our Principles in Action

• Fix healthcare communication: Healthcare systems are struggling; our solution is communication - all of our efforts are centred here.

• Raise the bar: We have built an exceptional team to solve hard challenges. We hire for expertise and new ideas, maintaining high standards, giving honest feedback, and only delivering work we're proud of.

• Be a driver, not a passenger: We make things happen, focus on the right problems, and bring the energy to deliver ambitious goals.

• Succeed together: We succeed only as a team. Our mission is too important for anything less, so company success always comes first.

• Move with urgency: We’re on a mission, and every day lost is a missed opportunity to improve lives. We work at pace and focus on our mission, our users, and our impact.

• Be relentlessly resourceful: We embrace constraints as they force us to think differently, be creative, and focus.

• Embrace challenge: We value constructive conflict over harmony, having tough conversations for the best outcome.

What We Can Offer

We believe in supporting our team to do their best work, and thrive both professionally and personally.

• £60,000-£70,000 salary + share options

• Access to Happl - a flexible benefits provider with a given budget to spend on perks of your choice. Options include private health insurance, wellness providers and more

• Flexible Working: We are an office first culture and ask you are in at least 3 days a week.

• Enhanced parental leave policy

• We have our very own Chef! Free healthy breakfasts, snacks and lunches will be provided, with the occasional sweet treat!

...And much more.
