Executive Assistant

At Kapish, we are a dynamic organisation delivering technology solutions and strategies in Information Management & Governance and Enterprise Architecture. Since our inception in 2007, we have consistently stood at the forefront of the industry, offering innovative solutions that cater to the evolving information management and enterprise architecture needs of our valued clients.

About the Role

Reporting directly to the Managing Director, this role is all about creating space for strategic thinking. You’ll take ownership of the MD’s time, priorities, and workflow so he can focus on strategy, leadership, and growing the business. The role will also support the Chief Operating Officer (COO). This is more than a traditional EA role - it’s an opportunity to step in, take initiative, and shape how the leader operates. You’ll be trusted to anticipate needs, streamline processes, and keep everything running seamlessly behind the scenes.

If you’re someone who thrives on being at the centre of decision-making, enjoys working at pace, and takes pride in creating clarity out of complexity - this role is for you.

Key responsibilities

• Own and optimise MD’s calendar – ensuring MD’s time is aligned to the highest-value priorities
• Manage MD’s inbox end-to-end – triaging, drafting, and responding on behalf of the MD where appropriate
• Act as a filter and amplifier – ensuring MD focusses only on what truly matters
• Drive follow-ups and execution – keeping momentum across key initiatives
• Manage stakeholders – internally and externally, with confidence and professionalism
• Create structure and clarity – across meetings, decisions, and communications
• Preparing high-quality presentations, reports, and documents
• Assisting with broader business and office support as required

This role is about judgment, ownership, and impact - not just coordination.

• Communicates exceptionally well – clear, concise, and professional
• Is highly organised, but also commercially aware

• Impeccable communication skills, both written and verbal
• High attention to detail and a commitment to delivering work to a high standard
• Confidence working autonomously, with strong accountability
• Emotional intelligence and adaptability in a dynamic environment
