Executive Assistant

Executive Assistant to the Group MD & Group Operations Director

Hybrid Solutions Group · Salford HQ · Full-time, permanent · £45,000 + Benefits.

Most EA roles keep you one step removed from the business. This one puts you right at the centre of it.

Hybrid Solutions Group is a Salford-born group of specialist infrastructure and technology businesses. Over 13 years, with no outside investment, we've built four companies: Hybrid Electrical Solutions (M&E for tunnels, rail and highways), Hybrid Asset Solutions (facilities management), Hybrid Connectivity Solutions (rail telecoms and fibre), and Fridai, an AI operational intelligence platform we're now taking to market.

Our Founder and Group MD, Phil McCabe, and Group Operations Director, Jake Flint, are running strategy across four businesses, chairing boards, hiring senior leaders and launching a new product. They need someone brilliant to give them back the time to do it.

What you'll own

• Both diaries, actively: protecting deep-work and family time, sequencing meetings and making sure every one has the right prep.
• Board packs, pitch decks, briefing notes and presentations that are on-brand, polished and error-free.
• Actions from meetings, chased and closed.
• Travel, expenses and the personal admin that eats founder time.
• The front door: triaging calls, emails and requests, and handling what you can yourself.
• Day-to-day contact with our brokers, accountants, banks and key suppliers.
• Spotting what's slipping and building the systems that fix it.

Who you are

• An experienced EA, ideally to a founder, MD or leadership team in a fast-moving business.
• Confident with anyone, from a Kier project director to a supplier chasing an invoice.
• Ambitious, you want this role to grow, and you want to grow with it.
• Discreet, sharp with detail and a strong writer.
• Confident across Microsoft 365, especially PowerPoint; experience with AI tools or project management platforms is a bonus.
• Full UK driving licence and access to a car preferred.

What you'll get

• A front-row seat in a growing North West group with a real five-year plan.
• Two directors who back their people and invest in their development.
• Real scope to grow the role as the group grows.
• A Salford office with flexibility on how and when the work gets done.
• Pension, holiday and wellbeing benefits, with salary reviewed annually.
• Involvement across the group, from board meetings to client hospitality to our partnership with Salford Youth Zone.
