What the job involves
- We are looking for a proactive, organised and highly dependable Executive Assistant (EA) to support our CoFounders (CEO & CPO) both professionally and personally
- This is an unique opportunity to work closely with two visionary founders at the helm of one of Europe’s fastest-growing tech startups
- No two days will be the same - from managing and protecting their business schedules, to coordinating international travel, you’ll work with a wide variety of stakeholders - from team members to investors and brands
- You’ll gain unparalleled insight into what it takes to build and scale a high-growth startup, whilst playing an integral role in driving the company’s future success and ensuring the CoFounders execute efficiently and effectively as we scale
- Own and manage the complex diaries of our CEO and CPO, acting as a true gatekeeper
- Proactively streamline their schedules to ensure maximum focus on strategic priorities
- Organise national and international travel (sometimes last minute), including flights, hotels, transfers and agendas — all within budget
- Prepare and manage expense claims on behalf of the CoFounders
- Book meeting rooms, source off-site venues and coordinate logistics for internal and external meetings on their behalf - and, when required, attend meetings to take diligent notes and track action points
- Provide personal support to the CoFounders such as managing personal appointments, family commitments or special projects; arranging personal travel; and assisting with ad hoc personal errands and tasks
- Work closely with the Chief of Staff to support and coordinate on key initiatives — including board and executive team meetings, quarterly planning sessions, strategic offsites and other company-wide milestones - through scheduling, venue sourcing or stakeholder liaison
- Support the Chief of Staff in facilitating internal communications — for example, ensuring key messages and draft comms are reviewed by the CoFounders in a timely manner
- Support on team engagement activities, such as company-wide events and socials as and when required
Application process
- We usually respond within three days
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Parcel delivery currently relies on fossil-fuel powered vans for the most part — and they pollute the air we breathe, emit large amounts of CO₂ and congest our cities. At the same time, customer service is notoriously poor, unethical business practices are rampant, and the technology is outdated. HIVED offers an alternative: 100% electric delivery, cutting emissions by up to 76%.
The company's technology is so efficient, it can match – or sometimes even be cheaper – than the current high-emission carriers. HIVED has fundamentally set itself apart from larger competitors by cutting their emissions by 76%, which will be a significant advantage as the UK is witnessing a green economic boom in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
The industry's expansion grew to $141.05 bn globally in 2025, which will undoubtedly be underpinned by a push towards sustainability. HIVED is well-positioned to capitalise on this, particularly if it can maintain its current high standards off the back of its impressive 2025 Series B investment round.
