Personal Assistant (VP/SVP)

Job Description

What you'll bring to the team

We’re on the lookout for a brilliantly organised Personal Assistant to support some of our most senior leaders, including the VP of Global Procurement, VP Indirect Sales, and SVP Health, Safety & Security.

This isn’t your standard PA role. It’s fast, demanding and right at the centre of the action. You’ll be the person who keeps everything moving, untangles chaos before it happens and makes the complex feel effortless. From juggling packed calendars across time zones to coordinating travel that actually works in the real world, you’ll be the calm, capable force behind the scenes.

You’ll handle sensitive information with absolute discretion, build strong relationships across the business, and become a trusted go-to for getting things done properly. When priorities shift, you shift with them. When challenges pop up, you’re already one step ahead.

If you like being relied on, enjoy variety and take pride in running a tight ship, you’ll fit right in.

This is a full-time, permanent role based at our Merlin Technical Hub next to Thorpe Park Resort.
