Executive Assistant - #2121990

Katonix is a rapidly growing defence and technology company working on sensitive projects across the UK and internationally.

We are looking for a highly discreet, capable and exceptionally organised Executive Assistant / PA to the CEO to provide direct support to the founder and senior leadership.

This is a role for someone who understands that confidentiality is non-negotiable. You will have exposure to commercially sensitive information, strategic discussions, clients, investors and potentially sensitive defence-related matters. Absolute discretion, integrity and the ability to keep information strictly confidential are essential.

Key responsibilities include:

• Managing the CEO's diary, meetings and travel
• Coordinating meetings with senior executives, government and international contacts
• Preparing documents, notes, briefings and correspondence
• Managing confidential information and communications
• Following up on actions and ensuring priorities are delivered
• Helping the CEO stay organised across multiple fast-moving projects
• Acting as a trusted gatekeeper and professional representative of the CEO

We are looking for someone who is:

• Exceptionally discreet and trustworthy
• Highly organised and detail-oriented
• Calm under pressure and comfortable in a fast-paced environment
• Professional and confident communicating with senior people
• Proactive rather than someone who needs constant direction
• Comfortable handling highly confidential information
• Able to exercise excellent judgement about what should and should not be shared

Previous PA/EA experience is preferred, particularly supporting a founder, CEO, senior executive, government official, professional services or high-growth technology company.

This is not simply an administrative role. The successful candidate will become a trusted member of the CEO's immediate team and will be expected to operate with a very high level of discretion and professionalism.
