About Skyscanner
Everyone loves travelling, but planning is not without its challenges ✈️. That's why we've spent 20 years building tools that turn travel-planning chaos into a breeze. Today, around 100 million travellers count on us every month to skip the whole “47 browser tabs open” phase and find flights, cars, and hotels quickly and easily 💻.
Joining Skyscanner means becoming part of a global brand that's striving to become the planet's go-to travel hack accessible for all 🌍.
Our vision? To be the world's number one travel ally. (Ambitious? 💪 Yes, but, hey, that's what got us here).
About the role
(Hybrid)
Your mission: Be the organisational engine for senior leaders — managing time, details and logistics so they can stay focused on what matters most.
Where you’ll be based: Glasgow, Edinburgh or London. Hybrid working with flexibility that supports both collaboration and focused delivery time.
The impact: Through careful organisation, calendar coordination and meeting preparation, you’ll help leadership spend more time on decisions and less time on logistics.
The vibe: Collaborative, organised and calm under pressure. You’ll work closely with senior leaders and partners across teams to keep plans clear, schedules sensible and operations running smoothly — staying adaptable as priorities and ways of working evolve with the needs of the business.
What you’ll be doing
- Partnering with senior leaders
Support leaders with reliable scheduling, communication and follow-through. Understand their working patterns, plan ahead for recurring needs and ensure day-to-day operations run smoothly.
- Owning calendars and priorities
Maintain accurate diaries across time zones, resolve conflicts quickly and protect focus time. Communicate changes promptly and keep stakeholders informed.
- Making meetings matter
Coordinate agendas, attendees and materials. Capture notes and track actions so meetings lead to clear outcomes and follow-ups.
- Coordinating travel
Book end-to-end itineraries (flights, hotels, ground transport) with clear details and contingencies. Handle changes efficiently and keep everyone informed.
- Team and event coordination
Assist with logistics for team meetings, offsites or small projects. Align people, venues and resources for smooth delivery.
- Expenses and essentials
Process expenses, POs and light budgeting accurately and on time. Maintain positive relationships with internal partners and vendors to keep operations running.
- Improving processes
Create or refine checklists, templates or simple tools that make repeat tasks easier and save time.
About you
- Experienced EA
You’ve supported senior leaders (Director or VP level) — ideally more than one at a time — in a fast-moving environment.
- Organised and dependable
Strong at managing competing priorities, spotting conflicts early and following through to completion.
- Self-starter with excellent organisation, time-management and interpersonal skills
You take ownership of your work, plan ahead effectively and build positive working relationships across teams.
- Adaptable and able to pivot to the needs of the business
You stay flexible and focused through change, keeping momentum and helping the team adjust with minimal friction.
- Clear communicator
You write and speak clearly, tailoring your approach for different audiences and summarising key points with precision.
- Tech-confident
Comfortable with Microsoft 365, Slack and other modern tools. Quick to learn whatever comes next.
- Calm under pressure
You stay composed and solutions-focused when plans change, keeping stakeholders informed.
- Discreet and trustworthy
You handle sensitive information with good judgement and professionalism.
- Collaborative and proactive
You enjoy supporting others, spot what’s needed and take action within your remit to make things work better.
What it’s like here
We are the real deal — no corporate gloss, no empty promises. Just a team of genuinely curious, caring humans ❤️, building things that help travellers explore the world a little easier 🧭.
