You will work closely with our CEO and our Board of Directors to prioritise project ideas.

This post would suit an Energy Policy graduate that has experience of either community energy or journalism (and therefore brings strong writing skills) or environmental projects

Essential:

Harris Hill is delighted to be partnering with a fantastic membership body to recruit their new Executive Assistant to the CEO.

This is a unique opportunity to step into a pivotal role at the heart of a respected international membership body, working directly with the Chief Executive, the President, and the Board of Trustees. The current postholder will be retiring in 2026, and as such, the successful candidate will benefit from a substantial handover period, ensuring a smooth transition and excellent preparation for success.

The Executive Assistant will be the key point of coordination for the CEO’s office, providing high-level executive and secretarial support across a wide range of responsibilities. This includes managing correspondence and reports on behalf of the CEO and President, ensuring they are fully briefed ahead of meetings and events, and maintaining seamless communication with the Board of Trustees. The role also involves supporting Board processes, facilitating inductions and development, and coordinating high-profile events such as the Annual General Meeting and the Presidential Address. As the trusted aide to both the CEO and President, you will be relied upon to act with initiative and judgement, occasionally making decisions and delegating on their behalf. The role also carries responsibility for coordinating leadership meetings, managing projects, and maintaining accurate and accessible records that capture both current business and the institution’s history.

The successful candidate will bring proven experience as an Executive Assistant or Personal Assistant at senior level, ideally within a charity, membership, or professional body. You will be highly organised and proactive, comfortable juggling multiple priorities, and confident in building relationships with stakeholders at all levels. Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, are essential, alongside the ability to handle sensitive information with the utmost discretion. Advanced proficiency in Microsoft Office and the wider Microsoft 365 suite is expected, and you will be adept at drafting reports, formal minutes, and correspondence to a high standard. Above all, this role calls for someone who can balance meticulous attention to detail with the ability to see the bigger picture. You will be solutions-focused, resilient under pressure, and motivated by continuous improvement.

To apply, please submit your up-to-date CV  by the 9th of September 2025 at 23:59.
