Influence, negotiate, and expertly manage conflicting demands to optimise the CEO’s time and resources.
Plan, support, and coordinate off-site events and VIP visits, ensuring all logistical aspects are flawlessly managed.

You are a highly organised, confident and proactive EA who thrives in high-pressure environments and operates with absolute professionalism and discretion.

You will bring:

Proven experience supporting C-Suite executives, ideally within complex, fast-paced organisations
Strong understanding (or exposure to) UK Government, Ministerial, or Defence sectors

Outstanding communication and stakeholder management abilities
Confidence to influence, negotiate, and challenge at senior levels
Absolute discretion and integrity when handling confidential information
Experience leading and mentoring others with a passion for team development and knowledge in employee management
A calm, composed approach with the ability to manage ambiguity and competing demands
High proficiency in Microsoft Office and digital collaboration tools

Why Join Thales?

At Thales, you’ll be part of an organisation where your contribution truly matters. You’ll work alongside inspiring leaders on meaningful projects that shape the future, while being supported in your own development and career growth.

You’ll join a high-performing and collaborative Executive Office support team, known for its professionalism, trust, and strong sense of partnership. It’s a genuinely supportive environment where individuals take pride in delivering excellence, while also championing wellbeing, development and shared success.

Ready to make an impact?
