About the role:
My client work with some of the world’s most ambitious financial services, insurance, and technology organisations, helping them build the skills that power transformation.
From AI and data science to change leadership and strategic capability, we equip teams to operate at a higher level. Our learning solutions are practical, outcome-driven, and delivered by experts who’ve actually done the work.
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a highly capable Executive Operations Manager, someone who can operate at the intersection of strategy, operations, and execution.
This is not a traditional EA role.
This is for someone who can:
- Translate vision into action
- Bring structure to fast-moving priorities
- Drive cross-functional delivery
- Act as a trusted partner to the CEO
You will combine strategic thinking with hands-on operational discipline. You’ll bring clarity where there is ambiguity and momentum where there is friction.
What You’ll Do
Strategic Execution
- Partner with the CEO to shape and track key business priorities
- Support strategic planning cycles and Objectives and Key Results alignment
- Prepare insights and analysis to inform decision-making
Operational Leadership
- Coordinate cross-functional initiatives to ensure delivery on time and to standard
- Improve internal rhythms around reporting, planning, and accountability
- Identify operational inefficiencies and implement improvements
Executive Support
- Own diary management and ensure the CEO’s time is focused on highest-value activity
- Prepare board-ready materials, reports, and presentations
- Capture actions and ensure follow-through on key decisions
- Draft internal and external communications on behalf of the CEO
Stakeholder Management
- Act as a connector across internal teams
- Engage confidently with suppliers, customers, and partners
- Manage sensitive and confidential matters with discretion
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience supporting C-level leadership in a professional services or fast-growth environment
- Strong track record of influencing and working with senior stakeholders
- Excellent organisational and project management capability
- Clear, confident communicator — written and verbal
- High levels of discretion and judgement
- Advanced Microsoft 365 proficiency
- Comfortable leveraging AI tools such as ChatGPT and Copilot to improve efficiency
- Proactive, structured, calm under pressure
You thrive in fast-moving environments.
You don’t wait for instruction.
You create clarity.
Why Join?
- Work directly alongside executive leadership
- Influence strategy, not just execution
- Be part of a scaling organisation with real momentum
- Operate in a high-trust, high-impact environment
- Grow with the business
If you’re the kind of person who brings structure to chaos, clarity to strategy, and momentum to execution, we’d love to speak with you.
This is a rare opportunity to work shoulder-to-shoulder with executive leadership, influence real business outcomes, and play a pivotal role in a scaling organisation.
If that sounds like you, get in touch with Ryan Quinn directly on LinkedIN for a confidential conversation.
