About the Role:
Planet is seeking a thoughtful, diligent, detail-oriented (and fun!) Executive Assistant to support our Commercial & European Leadership Team, Visiting Executives and UK Office.

The ideal person is someone highly motivated by teamwork, sees through barriers to reduce clutter (inbox, calendar etc) and deliver results seamlessly and accurately with little direction. Our Executive Support team are the critical ties that bind our organisation and you would have the opportunity to work collaboratively with the team to ensure high level support to the Executive and Leadership teams, allowing them to focus on what matters most - our people, our customers, our culture and our long term path to achieving our mission.
