Personal Assistant (Hiring Immediately)

Patchwork
London

About the Role

We’re looking for a highly organised and proactive Personal Assistant to support our CEO and Senior Leadership Team (SLT).

This role sits within the People & Talent team (Operations) and reports to the Director of People & Talent. You’ll work closely with the CEO and SLT on a daily basis, helping to manage priorities, coordinate activity and keep leadership operations running smoothly.

You’ll act as a central coordination point across the SLT—owning diaries, meetings, travel and logistics—while also supporting internal communications, board administration and company-wide events. Alongside this, you’ll provide light-touch office operations support, helping to maintain a well-run, organised and welcoming London Hub.

Working closely with the CEO, SLT and People Team, you’ll help ensure leadership activity is well-coordinated and effective day-to-day, while contributing to broader company operations.

We’re a scaling business with a strong operational focus, so this role requires someone who can stay organised, adapt as priorities evolve, and keep things running smoothly. You’ll be part of a collaborative, supportive team, but also trusted to take ownership, stay one step ahead and maintain a high standard in everything you do.

Role Responsibilities

  • Proactively manage CEO and SLT diaries, scheduling and meeting coordination including coordinating internal and external meetings across multiple stakeholders and time zones.

  • Support preparation of presentations, briefing materials and leadership documentation.
  • Help to ensure smooth day-to-day leadership operations and prioritisation.
  • Help improve operational consistency, coordination and communication across leadership activities.
  • Handle confidential and sensitive matters with professionalism and discretion.

This element of the role includes building close and strong relationships with the CEO and all SLT members to provide top quality support. Investment in understanding their needs and preferences is essential.

  • Support coordination of CEO communications and SLT updates across company channels and forums.
  • Gather company information across operational teams to support leadership updates and communications.

  • Weekly Town Halls
