Your new company
A leading UK-based FMCG business based in Slough with a rich heritage is looking for an Executive Assistant to support a Sales and Marketing Director for a 12-month maternity contract. Known for its commitment to quality, innovation, and customer care, this organisation has built a strong reputation in the manufacturing industry. With a focus on employee wellbeing and career development, it offers a rewarding and supportive work environment. This role offers hybrid working 1 day a week in the office, but candidates still need to be within a reasonable commute to Slough.
Your new role

You’ll act as a key liaison between directors, senior leadership, internal teams, and external stakeholders, ensuring seamless operations and top-tier support.
This is a full-time role based in Slough, with flexible hybrid working—typically one day per week in the office, with potential for less during quieter periods. The contract is set to begin mid-November and is expected to run for approximately one year.

What you'll get in return
- Competitive salary of £35,000–£45,000
- Flexible working with free on-site parking
- 25 days holiday plus bank holidays, with the option to buy more
