Working Pattern: 5 days in office preferred (open to 1 day WFH)
Sector: Residential Property, Construction & Emerging Net Zero Energy
Are you an Executive Assistant who thrives in a fast‑paced environment, loves being the right hand to an entrepreneurial leader, and is motivated by variety, impact, and pace? This is a rare and exciting opportunity to support the Founder & CEO of a successful residential property and construction group based in Brighton while also helping him scale an ambitious new start‑up in the net‑zero energy space that has just secured major funding.
About the Founder
Dynamic, down‑to‑earth and genuinely without ego, the Founder is a hands‑on, 100‑miles‑per‑hour operator with multiple business interests. His main company specialises in re‑developing blocks of flats for rental, supported by an in‑house property management division. Alongside this, he has recently launched an innovative net‑zero energy venture that is demanding increasing focus.
He works long hours, travels frequently (business and personal), and now needs an Executive Assistant who can match his pace, anticipate his needs, and give him the bandwidth to stretch himself further.
The Executive Assistant Role
This is not a traditional support job, it's a true partnership. The Founder is upgrading the role to full level because he recognises he needs someone who can sit beside him, quickly understand priorities, and take ownership of tasks independently.
Approx. 80–90% of the role will be business-focused across his multiple ventures, with around 10% supporting personal matters.
You will be his extension: filtering and problem‑solving, handling time‑consuming tasks, bringing him options and recommendations, and enabling him to be more productive, effective, and strategically focused.
