I’m working with a fast‑paced, early‑rising CEO who wants that EA.
The one who quietly runs the show behind the scenes, loves a good diary puzzle, lives for seamless travel, and takes it personally when the basics aren’t perfect.
You’ve already done the EA thing. You know what great looks like.
What you probably don’t get everywhere is the right mix of trust, scope and pace.
In this role, you get a CEO who wants you to take ownership of his time and make decisions. You’ll be part of an interesting mining business with stakeholders who expect a high level of polish.
You already know what an EA role looks like, but here's a taste:
- Untangling diaries and inboxes that look impossible and making them workable
- Designing travel that feels effortless for the CEO, even when it isn’t for you
- Keeping board logistics sharp and documents looking clever and clean
- Being the person who spots issues three steps early and quietly fixes them
- Making sure he never has to think about the small stuff, freeing him up to perform at his best
If you’ve ever thought “I wish my CEO would just let me own this”, this is that.
You're the type who:
- Actually wants a pure EA role and loves being the one who keeps the CEO three steps ahead
- Likes being the gatekeeper,
not the person waiting to be told what to do
- Gets a quiet buzz from seeing a complex week run smoothly
- Prefers “here’s the honest feedback” over “let’s dance around this”
- Knows that trust is built on follow through, not slogans
What I’d love to see in your background
- Experience supporting a CEO and or Board in a complex, corporate or listed setting
- Being used to owning diary, inbox and travel, not just sharing them
- Having strong Microsoft Office and presentation skills
- Being comfortable with Zoom, Teams and DocuSign
- You can write a sharp, professional email without needing five drafts
How to put your hand up
If you’re already mentally colour‑coding this CEO’s diary and reorganising his travel in your head, we should talk.
Please apply with your CV and cover letter telling me why this kind of “pure EA” role is exactly what you want next.
Pssss.... the cover letter is non‑negotiable.
This role lives and dies by attention to detail and follow through, and this is your first chance to show me you’ve got both. No cover letter, no further consideration.
If you’re the EA every CEO secretly wishes they had, I’d really like to help you become this CEO’s favourite person.
