About the Opportunity

We are seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Executive Officer to work closely with our CEO and provide coordinated support across the Hampshire Villages senior leadership team. This is more than a traditional PA or EA position. The role combines high-level executive support with leadership coordination, governance, project delivery and business improvement. You will help the CEO and leadership team stay focused on the priorities that matter, ensure decisions and actions are followed through, and improve the flow of information between our head office functions and geographically dispersed village operations. You will also play an important role in identifying opportunities to use approved AI, automation and digital workflows to simplify processes, improve executive support and strengthen decision-making. This opportunity will suit an experienced executive support professional, Executive Officer, or senior business support professional who enjoys bringing structure to complexity and wants to make a broader contribution to how a growing organisation operates.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Manage agreed diaries, inboxes, correspondence, travel and competing executive priorities
• Prepare concise, decision-ready reports, presentations, briefings and executive communications
• Coordinate leadership meetings and offsites, including agendas, pre-reads, meeting documentation and follow-up
• Maintain clear decision and action registers, track owners and due dates, and escalate risks or delays early and translate these priorities into coordinated actions and progress visibility.
• Support business planning, reporting and approved projects across Hampshire Villages
• Act as a trusted coordination point between the Villages business, village operations, Shared Services and external stakeholders and maintain strict confidentiality.
• Help ensure the right stakeholders and functional experts are involved before decisions or commitments are made

• Document new ways of working and monitor whether improvements deliver the intended result

About You

You are highly organised and detail-focused, but you also see the bigger picture. You understand that excellent executive support is not simply about managing a calendar. It is about creating clarity, protecting leadership capacity and ensuring priorities are converted into action. You will bring:

• 5 years + experience providing high-level support to a CEO, senior executive or executive leadership team in a complex environment
