Senior Executive Assistant, C-Suite (Maternity Cover)

Morgan McKinley are partnering with a high-growth, global technology organisation to appoint a Temporary Executive Operations Partner to support their Chief Technology Officer.

This is a fully remote maternity cover role, with occasional travel to London. It's an opportunity to work closely with a senior technology leader, not just managing their time, but helping drive structure, focus and delivery across a global tech function.

The Opportunity

This isn't a traditional EA position.

You'll operate as a true right-hand to the CTO, bringing clarity and coordination to a fast-moving, scaling technology environment. The role is heavily operational and governance-focused - ensuring priorities stay on track, leadership rhythms run smoothly, and key initiatives maintain momentum.

With global teams, complex programmes, and significant executive exposure, you'll play a central role in keeping everything aligned and moving forward.

What You'll Be Doing

Driving Operational Rhythm

• Keeping leadership meetings purposeful, structured and action-focused.
• Preparing agendas, board materials and briefing documents with real attention to detail.
• Tracking decisions and ensuring follow-through on actions and strategic commitments.
• Maintaining visibility across key technology initiatives, flagging risks or delays early.

Supporting Strategic Delivery

• Monitoring programme milestones and ensuring accountability across workstreams.
• Helping coordinate planning cycles, leadership off-sites and global strategy sessions.
• Creating simple, effective reporting frameworks to keep stakeholders aligned.
• Acting as a sounding board to the CTO on priorities and workload.

Executive Coordination

• Managing a complex, global diary with a clear understanding of business priorities.
• Preparing the CTO thoroughly for high-level meetings and engagements.
• Coordinating seamless international travel across time zones.
• Managing communications thoughtfully and proactively.

Improving Ways of Working

• Introducing better structure where needed.
• Streamlining processes across the technology leadership team.
• Creating clarity in an environment that can sometimes feel fast-paced and ambiguous.

About You

• You've supported a CTO or senior technology leader before.
• You're comfortable operating beyond diary management - you enjoy being involved in delivery and governance.
• You naturally bring order and structure to complex situations.
• You're confident tracking projects and holding senior stakeholders to account (in a collaborative way).
• You're calm under pressure and proactive in solving problems before they escalate.
• You understand the pace and nuance of a technology-led organisation.

This role offers genuine exposure to strategic decision-making and the inner workings of a global technology function. It's ideal for someone who enjoys being at the centre of operations and making a tangible impact, while working remotely within a forward-thinking organisation.
