Energystore - Executive Assistant

Overview

Executive Assistant
Holywood | £40,000 - £50,000 | Full-time with real flexibility

Flexible hours. High trust. Worth saying that up front. There are Executive Assistant roles where the job is to keep a diary tidy and react to requests and there are EA roles where the job is to make sure the business runs properly. This is the second one and the difference matters. Before anything else, this is a genuinely flexible role.

Full-time, yes, but open to adjusted hours, a four-day week, or sensible arrangements around childcare. The focus is on judgement, output, and trust, not presenteeism. You’ll work closely with the Managing Director, leading a business that’s grown by backing good people and running things properly. It’s straightforward, busy, and well run. Flat structure. High standards. People are trusted to do their jobs and left to get on with it.

The EA role here matters a lot. You’ll be the person who brings structure to senior leadership.

• Organising management meetings.
• Preparing agendas.
• Taking minutes and ensuring actions are followed up.
• Pulling together monthly management reports and chasing missing information.
• Protecting the MD’s time when everything feels urgent, but not everything is important.
• Contributing to improved decision-making, pace, and focus at the top of the business.
• Handling itinerary planning, supporting shareholders, and getting involved in CSR.
• Working closely with the leadership team day to day from Holywood.

• Has supported senior leaders and understands how they really operate.
• Is organised, assertive, and comfortable enforcing priorities.
• Can pull information together and spot gaps quickly.
• Is discreet, dependable, and trusted with sensitive information.
• Wants to be relied on, not micromanaged.
• Is tech savvy and not afraid of learning with us.

It won’t suit someone looking for a passive admin role or constant instruction. You’ll be expected to think, anticipate, and act. Salary is £40,000 to £50,000, depending on experience. If you understand how much difference the right EA makes, and you want a role where that impact is visible and valued, this is worth a conversation.
