Why a CV for this job?

94% of employers say their filters drop qualified candidates whose CV does not match the ad's exact criteria (Harvard Business School, 2021).

  • They see what they asked for, first. Your experience that matches the ad leads, in the ad's own words, so someone skimming finds it in seconds.
  • It gets past the software. Many larger employers use software that ranks CVs by how closely they match the ad, often before anyone reads them.
  • In the language of the ad. An ad written in Spanish gets a CV in Spanish, even when yours is in Portuguese.
  • Your facts, nothing invented. Your own experience, reordered and reworded. What the ad wants and your CV does not show is listed for you to add, only if it is true. You check it before you send it.

Senior Executive Assistant

Arthrex | Solihull / Hybrid Working

Salary: £45,000 - £47,000 plus annual performance bonus

Extensive benefits

Are you a trusted partner, exceptional organiser and always one step ahead.

Behind every effective senior leader is someone who knows what matters, what needs to happen next and what must remain confidential.

At Arthrex, we’re looking for two exceptional Senior Executive Assistants to support our Regional North EMEA Director and designated senior leaders across North Western Europe.

The role requires a highly organised, dependable and resourceful individual who demonstrates exceptional attention to detail, anticipates requirements, exercises independent judgement and acts as a trusted point of contact for internal and external stakeholders.

Someone who thrives on responsibility, earns trust through their actions and brings calm, control and clarity to a fast-moving international business.

What will you bring to the role?

• Trust and discretion: You handle sensitive information with absolute professionalism, integrity and sound judgement.

• Masterful prioritisation: You manage competing demands confidently, protect executive time and know when to act, challenge or escalate.

• Proactive thinking: You anticipate needs, identify potential issues before they arise and find solutions without waiting to be asked.

• Exceptional organisation: From complex diaries and international travel to leadership meetings, presentations and projects, you make the complicated look effortless.

• Accuracy and accountability: You take ownership, manage the details and ensure commitments are delivered reliably and on time.

• Digital confidence: You’re highly proficient in Microsoft 365 and experienced in using AI tools to improve efficiency and ways of working.

Who are we looking for?

You’ll bring proven experience supporting directors, VPs or equivalent senior leaders, ideally within an international or multinational organisation. You’ll be confident dealing with stakeholders at all levels, communicating with diplomacy and working independently in a role where priorities can change quickly.

A calm head, outstanding attention to detail and the confidence to exercise independent judgement are essential. A relevant professional qualification is welcome, but your experience, integrity and approach matter most.

Responsible for:

• Executive and administrative support

• Meeting, travel and event coordination

• Communication and stakeholder management

• Management information and project coordination

• Quality, accuracy and accountability

Why Arthrex?

Join a growing international healthcare business where your contribution will make a real difference to leadership effectiveness and day-to-day operations. You’ll work closely with senior leaders, enjoy a hybrid working arrangement and have the opportunity to make your mark by improving how executive support is delivered.

Are you interested in being the person senior leaders can truly rely on?

If you’re a highly capable Executive Assistant who combines discretion, initiative and exceptional organisational skills, we’d love to hear from you.
