What we’re all about.

We find, when we come together in the pursuit of excellence, great things happen. And that’s how we do things at Quantexa – together. Our business is data, but our culture is collective. We’re about growth – but not just the bottom line. We create a culture where people feel empowered to do their best work. We might work across continents and time zones, but that doesn’t stop us from collaborating. We’re connected. We celebrate our successes together, and we unite to tackle the challenges.

At Q, we’re looking for people who share that vision. People like you.

The opportunity.

Our Personal Assistant (PA) to our Executive Committee will be a central point in enabling our Senior Leaders to focus on creating the biggest impact for our clients, our colleagues and our business strategy. Your skills and personality will speak for themselves. A brilliant communicator, both verbally and through written form. You’ll have laser-focused attention to detail, bringing a curious, intuitive, agile and practical approach to a busy and disparate senior team. You’ll be a connector. Seamlessly making things happen across Quantexa. What makes you Q will help you to realize your full potential, flourish and enjoy what you do, while being recognized and rewarded with our broad range of benefits.

Our 8 Senior Leaders head up all our functions, along with our CEO who works with his own dedicated PA. They’re used to being self-sufficient so many of your duties will be cross-functional or project-focused. As you support our Senior Leaders, we’ll support you. You’ll report to our Chief Operations Officer who’ll help you juggle priorities and focus your time on things that will add the most value. This is your chance to push the boundaries of what’s possible. To make a difference to a lot of people, by playing to your strengths and working for a great team. They are all appreciative, hardworking and will value the contribution you bring to making their lives easier. You’ll be able to have an impact in a place that needs your skills, personality and passion. We’re growing fast and you will be an integral part of our journey.

  • You’re always one step ahead. You embrace change and instinctively know what needs to get done. Then you make it happen.
  • Excellent communication skills. As you can imagine, you’ll need to be able to communicate to diverse audiences – in writing and in person. You’re creative and detail focused to get the message across.
