Executive Assistant

Executive Assistant

Crown is a leading international building envelope contractor delivering high-tech, mission-critical projects across Europe. We are seeking a high-performing, proactive, and resilient Executive Assistant to support senior leadership and drive coordination across the business.

The Role

Alongside this, you will provide core Executive Assistant support, including diary, travel, and inbox management, while anticipating needs and ensuring directors are prepared, informed, and kept aligned and on track across key priorities.

This is a hands-on role requiring pace, sound judgement, and a high level of ownership. The role also requires a high degree of trust, discretion, and flexibility, and will include occasional ad hoc Personal Assistant duties as required.
