Operations & Executive Support Lead

🌱 Operations & Executive Support Lead

Organisation: Good Ancestor Movement
Location: Remote (UK) – occasional travel to London
Salary: £40,000
Type: Full-time

If you’re strong in operations and executive support — and you want your work to mean something — this is a serious opportunity.

Good Ancestor Movement works with wealth holders and organisations to redistribute wealth in ways that are reparative, regenerative, and aligned with justice. They challenge traditional accumulation models and support clients to move toward equity-focused stewardship.

This role is the operational backbone of the organisation.

💼 What You’ll Actually Be Doing

This isn’t a passive admin role. It’s high-trust and high-responsibility.

Executive Support

• Full diary and schedule management for the CEO

• Inbox triage and acting as a gatekeeper

• Preparing agendas, briefings, and meeting materials

• Coordinating travel and key engagements

• Tracking actions and follow-ups across leadership priorities

Operations

• Acting as the central intake for admin and operational requests

• Managing invoices, expenses, and payment workflows

• Supporting finance processes

• Coordinating events and logistics

• Maintaining project trackers and documentation

• Supporting fundraising admin and reporting

Systems & Process Development

• Spotting inefficiencies and operational risks

• Designing practical, proportionate systems

• Improving structure and predictability

• Supporting implementation of new tools

You’re not just keeping things running — you’re improving how they run.

🎯 Who This Is For

You’ll likely be a strong fit if you:

• Have EA, operations, or office management experience

• Can manage senior stakeholders calmly and professionally

• Anticipate needs before they become problems

• Handle confidential information with discretion

• Thrive in fast-moving, evolving environments

• Enjoy building systems rather than just following them

They care more about character, capability, and growth mindset than formal credentials. A degree isn’t required.

🚀 Why This Role Is Interesting

This is the kind of position where:

• You gain exposure to senior strategy

• You grow from operational execution into strategic influence

• Your organisational skill directly supports justice-led work

If you’re ambitious and want to step beyond traditional EA work into broader operational leadership over time, this is positioned well for that.

⚠️ If You Apply

Don’t just list diary management.

Show:

• Examples of process improvements you introduced

• How you reduced risk or improved efficiency

• Times you proactively solved executive-level problems

• Any experience building systems from scratch

They’re hiring for judgment and initiative.
