About the Role

Planet is seeking a thoughtful, diligent, detail-oriented (and fun!) Executive Assistant to support our Chief Revenue Officer (leading our Global Commercial Team and based in the UK) and one of our UK-based Vice Presidents.

The role is wide ranging including calendaring, expenses, travel coordination, supporting weekly meetings and quarterly offsites. The ideal person is someone highly motivated by teamwork, sees through barriers to reduce clutter (inbox, calendar etc) and delivers results seamlessly and accurately with little direction. This role will appeal to those who have a passion for people, space, and the climate. Our Executive Support team are the critical ties that bind our organization 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.

This is a remote position based in the United Kingdom. This is a full-time, temporary position that is expected to last 12 months.
