About the Role
Sense is seeking a confident, highly organised Executive Assistant to support both our Chief Social Change Officer (CSCO) and Chief Fundraising and Marketing Officer (CFMO). This is a rare opportunity to work closely with two senior leaders shaping the future of social change, campaigns, and income generation. You will play a vital role behind the scenes—helping to deliver high-profile campaigns, build strong stakeholder relationships, and drive forward key change initiatives. This dual role involves splitting your time between the two leaders, flexing around peak periods.
You will be responsible for managing complex diaries and forward-planning around key milestones, preparing high-quality briefings, agendas, presentations, and reports, coordinating meetings and events with internal and external stakeholders including campaign partners, funders, media, and policy groups. Additionally, you will record minutes, track actions, decisions and deadlines, maintain smooth communication, prioritise executive attention, support budget tracking and invoice processing, keep projects on track by monitoring risks and progress, and continuously improve systems and processes to increase efficiency.
This role is varied, fast-moving, and ideal for someone who thrives in a dynamic environment with a social mission.

- Proven experience supporting senior leaders (Director or C-suite) in a complex organisation. Charity or public sector experience is a plus.
About you

- A proactive, solution-focused mindset.
- Confidence using Microsoft Teams, Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, and Zoom.
- Commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion in both internal and external interactions.
