CURRENT VACANCIES

Senior Executive Assistant to the CEO

Full-time, 2-year fixed term with potential to extend.

Salary: £36,000–£37,500

As our Senior EA to the CEO and Board Governance Lead you will be a trusted partner in enabling strong leadership. You will help ensure the CEO’s time is protected for strategic work, governance remains robust, and organisation wide priorities move forward with confidence and coordination.

This is far more than a traditional EA role. It is a strategic, trusted position supporting the CEO, Board of Trustees, Development Board and senior leaders to operate effectively, make well‑informed decisions, and uphold the highest standards of governance and organisational integrity.

You will make a direct impact by ensuring:

  • The CEO is consistently prepared, focused and supported

  • Board and Committee governance and meetings are well planned, compliant and professionally delivered

  • Actions are recorded and followed up and escalated as appropriate

  • Trustees, staff, and stakeholders have the information and clarity they need

  • Systems, processes, and communication stay strong across the organisation

  • Every decision is more informed, every action more purposeful

Are you looking for a role where your insight, strong organisation, governance expertise, and calm authority help power change with real purpose? At Embrace the Middle East, this is exactly the opportunity we offer.

We are seeking someone with:

  • Proven experience supporting a CEO or senior leader in a high‑demand role

  • Experience coordinating Board or committee governance, including agendas, papers, minute‑taking and action tracking

  • Strong judgement, confidentiality and upward management skills

  • Advanced Microsoft 365 skills (Outlook, Teams, SharePoint, OneNote, PowerPoint, Excel)

  • Exceptional organisation, attention to detail and the ability to manage multiple priorities

  • A proactive, anticipatory working style with the confidence to influence senior stakeholders

  • Experience advising on governance processes and best practice

  • The ability to build clear, reliable systems and workflows across teams

If you are motivated by purpose, excel under pressure, and thrive in a role where precision and people‑focused service come together - we would love to hear from you.

The closing date for this vacancy is 5pm Thursday 12th March 2026. We strongly encourage you to submit your application before this deadline.
