This role offers a unique opportunity to deliver high level, proactive, and results driven executive support to the Head of Chemistry (HoC) and, once appointed, the Head of Biology (HoB), enabling them to achieve their strategic and operational goals. The Executive Assistant will expertly manage competing priorities, ensuring seamless coordination across both departments. Central to the role is the development and maintenance of effective administrative systems that enhance the day-to-day functioning of the Chemistry Department. At present, the position primarily supports the HoC due to the current vacancy in Biology; however, upon the appointment of the HoB, responsibilities will be re-evaluated to provide balanced, efficient support to both leaders, ensuring optimal workflow and departmental success.
We are a science driven and patient focused nonprofit organisation dedicated to discovering breakthroughs that defeat cancer.

Additionally, proficiency in a variety of software tools is essential to ensure smooth collaboration and productivity. Familiarity with Microsoft Teams for communication, Microsoft Planner for task management, and Adobe Illustrator or similar design software is highly desirable.
