Executive Assistant to Chief Financial Officer Perm Hybrid Working up to £70,000 Location: Crawley & London Liverpool Street Our client is a unique, industry-leading pensions organisation with a truly purpose-driven approach. As a not-for-profit, everything they generate is reinvested back into the business and wider community, creating a culture focused on continuous improvement and long-term impact. They are now looking for a bright, highly organised, and engaging Executive Assistant to support their Chief Financial Officer. This is far more than a traditional EA role. The CFO is seeking a true right hand and "second brain" someone who can operate at pace, think strategically, and add real value at a senior level. This is a hybrid position split between their HQ in Crawley and their London Liverpool Street office, so flexibility to travel between both locations is essential.
