Thales supports the security and stability of our nation by providing extraordinary technology to our customers, as well as delivering social value to the UK with our products and services.

Executive Assistant to CEO

Location: London / Reading (with UK travel)

Application deadline: Friday 3rd July

At Thales, we are driven by innovation, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence. We are now seeking an exceptional Executive Assistant (EA) to the CEO, who will also lead our Executive Office support team.

This is a rare opportunity to operate at the heart of the organisation, partnering closely with the CEO and senior leadership, shaping strategic priorities and delivering first-class executive support in a fast-paced, high-impact environment.

The Opportunity

As the CEO’s trusted partner and key liaison, you’ll be responsible for managing complex priorities, engaging with senior stakeholders across Government and Industry and ensuring the seamless running of the Executive Office.

You will also lead, mentor, and develop a high-performing EA team, championing Thales’ core behaviours: Think Big, Make it Happen, Together.

Key Responsibilities

Autonomously manage the CEO’s diary, prioritising his commitments to maximise focus on strategic business objectives. Ensure the CEO is prepared for meetings and engagements by independently organising briefings and the issue of briefing materials.
Liaise with senior Government, Ministerial and Defence Industry offices on behalf of the CEO.
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.
Mentor and provide guidance to the Exec Office support team, peers and colleagues.
Oversee the running of the London Customer Office.
Organise and prepare meetings across multiple time zones, including agenda creation, material preparation, booking venues, arranging catering, hosting visitors, attending meetings.
Provide holiday and sickness cover within the Executive Support Office.
Act as an ambassador for change by educating and influencing stakeholders on new processes and improvements.
Be prepared to travel to any of the Thales UK Offices to support the requirements of the CEO.

Right for this role?

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
Exceptional organisation, prioritisation, and problem-solving skills
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?

If you are a driven and dynamic Executive Assistant ready to step into a pivotal leadership role at the heart of a global organisation, we would love to hear from you.
