Role Overview
We are looking for a sharp, high-ownership Executive Assistant to work directly with the MD across multiple business verticals.
This is not a traditional EA role. You will function as a close operational and commercial partner to the MD: managing his time, orchestrating priorities, and bringing financial and business rigor to how decisions get made. This role is best suited to a qualified finance professional who can read the numbers behind a business, structure complexity, and use AI as a core part of how they work. You will travel with and for the MD as the business requires.
What You'll Do
Strategic, Financial & Business Support
- Work directly with the MD on initiatives across existing and new business verticals
- Analyze business and financial performance across verticals: read P&Ls and MIS, interpret key metrics, and flag deviations, risks, and opportunities early
- Prepare concise, insight-driven briefs and board-ready presentations that translate numbers into clear commercial recommendations
- Build financial models, feasibility views, and scenario analyses to support the MD's decisions
- Partner closely with the Group finance/CFO office to pull, validate, and synthesize information into actionable inputs for the MD
- Track business performance at a high level so the MD stays informed without being pulled into the details
Project & Documentation Management
- Maintain structured documentation across all active projects: ownership, timelines, and status
- Turn loosely defined goals into structured plans and track them to completion
- Build and manage dashboards and reporting structures that support faster decisions
AI & Systems Orchestration
- Serve as the AI orchestrator for the MD's office: actively deploying AI tools to streamline communication, research, reporting, and day-to-day workflows
- Relevant tools include: ChatGPT / Claude for drafting and research, Notion AI for documentation, Zapier / Make for automations, Otter.ai or Fireflies for meeting notes, Motion or Reclaim for intelligent scheduling, and similar tools
- Continuously identify and implement new tools and automations that reduce manual effort and improve output quality
MD Time & Priority Management
- Own the MD's schedule end-to-end: not just calendar logistics, but ensuring time is protected and allocated to what matters most
- Act as a coordination layer between the MD and senior leaders across businesses
- Proactively resolve conflicts, bottlenecks, and competing priorities before they reach the MD
What We're Looking For
- Chartered Accountant (CA) or equivalent professional finance qualification
- 5+ years of experience in a fast-moving, high-performance environment; exposure to commercial, manufacturing, or trading businesses is a strong plus
- Strong financial and commercial acumen: comfortable interpreting P&Ls, MIS, and business performance data, spotting trends, and translating figures into clear insights that drive faster decisions
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
- Excellent written communication: can synthesize complex information into crisp, clear outputs
- Actively uses AI tools in daily work and stays current with new developments: this is a core expectation, not a nice-to-have
- Willingness to travel frequently, including at short notice, across KGK's global operations
- High discretion, strong judgment, and a mature presence when working with senior leadership
- Comfortable with ambiguity and capable of building structure from scratch
- Long-term career orientation with a bias toward action
