Full time
Job description
About the Role
The Executive Assistant will support the Chief Revenue Officer across all day-to-day activities in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. The role provides standard administrative support to the CRO, including scheduling, travel and meeting management, with a heavy focus on managing projects, processes and operating priorities across the team. The successful candidate will act as an extension of the CRO, building strong working relationships across the organisation, anticipating needs and connecting the dots to drive initiatives forward independently.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the CRO's calendar as a strategic asset: align time with business priorities, decide which meetings, escalations and requests reach the CRO, and rebalance proactively as priorities shift.
- Coordinate domestic and international travel, and process expenses accurately and in line with policy, using systems and automation where possible.
- Run the CRO's recurring cadence: planning cycles, pipeline and forecast reviews, leadership meetings and people initiatives; prepare agendas and briefings, ensure the right inputs and owners are in place, and track decisions and actions to completion.
- Lead or support projects on the CRO's behalf, such as sales kickoffs, process improvements, product/tech updates and reporting; act as a project manager who spots risks, gaps and opportunities, keeps projects moving and shares updates/status proactively.
- Own planning and execution for all-hands meetings and leadership off-sites, including agenda design, presentation materials, budget, logistics coordination and follow-up.
- Act as a trusted voice for the CRO with other Genius executives, the Commercial organisation, and external partners and clients.
- Draft communications, handle inquiries independently and escalate only what needs the CRO's attention.
- Help the CRO manage priority client and partner relationships by preparing for meetings, tracking commitments and coordinating executive engagement.
- Build and use strong working relationships across the organisation to remove blockers, gather context and keep the CRO informed.
- Handle sensitive commercial, financial and people information with discretion, using sound judgment on what to communicate, when and to whom.

- Highly organised, proactive and detail-oriented approach.
- Bachelor's degree and 6+ years of experience providing executive-level support or business partnering.

- Exceptional ability to manage time, multitask and prioritise effectively under pressure.
- Exceptional verbal and written communication skills with a professional and diplomatic demeanour.
- Demonstrated ability to build trust and foster relationships across all levels of an organisation.
