Executive Assistant

The Role:

Are you a master of organisation with a passion for people and precision? Do you thrive in fast-paced environments, managing complex diaries and high-level stakeholders with ease?

Agria is looking for a seasoned Executive Assistant to join us on a maternity cover contract of up to 12 months, supporting our Managing Director and UK Senior Leadership Team (SLT). This is more than just a support role - it’s a chance to be at the heart of a purpose-driven company that values initiative, collaboration, and excellence.

We are based in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire and currently work to a hybrid model of one day per week in the office (every Wednesday), although some level of flexibility will be required for this role.

What you’ll be doing:

Diary Management: Own and orchestrate the calendars of the Managing Director and SLT, including travel, meetings, and international arrangements

Stakeholder Engagement: Build strong relationships across the UK and wider Agria Group, ensuring seamless communication

Meeting Mastery: Record accurate minutes for key committees and leadership forums

Event Coordination: Organise offsite meetings, training sessions, and company events - from strategy days to Dogs & Donuts

Presentation & Reporting: Create and format high-impact PowerPoints and leadership reports

Logistics & Hospitality: Support internal and external visitors with travel, accommodation, and meeting schedules

Expense Management: Assist the Managing Director and SLT with expense submissions and credit card reconciliations

Carbon Tracking: Maintain records for hotel and catering bookings to support sustainability efforts

Employee Engagement: Contribute to wellness initiatives, social events, and the Employee Forum

What we’re looking for:

We’re after someone who’s not just organised, but obsessively organised. You’ll be the calm in the storm, the glue that holds our leadership team together, and the friendly face that keeps everything ticking.
