About the Role

Reporting directly to the Chief of Staff, this is a hands-on, high-impact role designed for a skilled coordinator who excels at bringing order to fast-moving priorities. You will serve as the organisational and administrative engine behind the Executive Leadership Team - managing complex diaries, collating executive reporting packs, and ensuring strategic commitments move from discussion to delivery.

Operating in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, you will combine executive assistance with broader operational coordination - tracking key business actions, supporting people and engagement initiatives, and helping maintain seamless day-to-day operations across leadership.

• Act as a professional first point of contact for internal and external stakeholders, building strong cross-functional relationships and tracking action delivery.
• Collate management information (MI), operational metrics, and dashboards to produce clear board, committee, and leadership reporting packs.
• Prepare meeting agendas, board packs, and presentations; attend key leadership forums to take concise minutes, log decisions, and track action logs.
• Support executive-led engagement initiatives, coordinate candidate interviews and onboarding for senior hires, and handle sensitive, confidential matters with absolute discretion.
• Assist with cross-functional project tracking, maintain core governance documentation, and support continuous process improvement initiatives.

Skills & Competencies

• Exceptional planning, prioritization, and time-management skills with high attention to detail and accuracy.
• Strong interpersonal and written communication skills, with the confidence to influence and challenge constructively across all business levels.
• Absolute professionalism with high levels of discretion when handling confidential, executive-level information.
• A resourceful, solutions-focused mindset capable of anticipating bottlenecks and balancing shifting demands with composure.
• Comfort using data, tracking action items, and assembling clear presentations and executive summaries.

Qualifications & Experience

• Proven experience in an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, Operations Coordinator, or senior administrative role.
• Demonstrated track record supporting C-suite executives, senior leaders, or multiple key business stakeholders.
• Deep experience in complex calendar management, board/leadership meeting coordination, and executive document preparation.
• Background in insurance, MGA platforms, or broader financial services environments is advantageous but not essential.

Role Details

• Full-time permanent position (35 hours per week, Monday–Friday).
• Competitive base salary accompanied by a comprehensive corporate benefits package.
• Flexible hybrid working model (combining remote work with regular days in the Bristol office).
• High-visibility position with a clear line of sight across executive decision-making, governance, and business strategy.
