Job Description

Join Us

At Vodafone, we’re not just shaping the future of connectivity for our customers – we’re shaping the future for everyone who joins our team. When you work with us, you’re part of a global mission to connect people, solve complex challenges, and create a sustainable and more inclusive world. If you want to grow your career whilst finding the perfect balance between work and life, Vodafone offers the opportunities to help you belong and make a real impact.

What you’ll do

As a Personal Assistant within Vodafone Cyber Security and Technology Strategy & Governance, you’ll play a pivotal role at the heart of a high‑impact, fast‑moving environment. You’ll partner closely with the Head of Secure by Design and two senior leaders, enabling them to focus on what matters most by keeping their days running smoothly and efficiently. From expertly managing complex diaries and balancing competing priorities, to coordinating meetings, events and travel across markets, you’ll be a trusted point of contact who brings clarity and structure to busy schedules.

You’ll build strong relationships across the wider PA and governance communities, working collaboratively within Vodafone Cyber Security, Technology and Group functions. The role offers exposure beyond your immediate team, with opportunities to support wider initiatives, planning activities and events alongside the Director’s Principal Assistant. With a strong focus on forward planning, organisation and delivery, you’ll anticipate needs, manage requests with confidence and ensure deadlines are met—even when things move at pace.

This is a role where your ability to stay calm under pressure, think ahead and adapt to changing demands will truly shine, and where your contribution will have a visible impact every day.

Who you are

We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and experiences who bring curiosity, creativity, and a passion for service excellence.

You’ll thrive in this role if you have:

• Proven experience supporting senior executives in a complex, fast‑paced environment
• Strong organisational, planning and time‑management skills, with the ability to juggle competing priorities
• Excellent Microsoft Office skills and confidence working with multiple stakeholders
• Clear, open and inclusive communication skills, both written and verbal, with the confidence to influence and challenge constructively
• A positive, resilient and proactive approach, with the ability to remain calm under pressure
• Experience coordinating meetings, events, travel and expenses within policy guidelines
• A collaborative mindset, building trusted relationships and contributing to a supportive PA network
• Flexibility and adaptability to meet evolving business needs
• An interest in, or understanding of, technology and cyber security environments is beneficial, but curiosity and willingness to learn are just as important
