In a world of immense uncertainty, digiLab is a pioneering AI company that empowers governments and organisations in safety-critical or highly regulated industries to solve critical, complex, and high-stakes challenges using machine learning and uncertainty quantification.
From forging a path to clean energy to life-saving medical diagnostics and beyond, making critical decisions with unwavering confidence is difficult, especially when data is complex, sparse, or incomplete. This is where digiLab's expertise shines through.
Our trustworthy and explainable AI platform, The Uncertainty Engine, supported by our team of machine learning specialists and data scientists, enables decision-makers to accelerate innovation, reduce the risk of failure, turn insight into action, and deliver greater value through more informed and confident decisions.
Summary The role of Executive Assistant (EA) to members of the Executive team is designed to support the Chief Growth Officer and Director of Product at digiLab . This full-time position reports to the Chief of Staff.
This is not a traditional Executive Assistant role.
This is a high-trust, high-responsibility position at the nerve centre of a fast-growing AI company with global ambitions. As digiLab scales, the impact and focus of our executives must scale exponentially. This role exists to make that happen.
You will operate close to decision-making, protecting executive focus by owning time, information, communication, and operational flow as one coherent system. You will anticipate what's coming, remove friction early, and turn strategic intent into consistent, high-quality execution.
Although we are a 4-day week company (working days Monday - Thursday), at times, the nature of this role may require availability outside of these hours to respond to communications and requests. The ability and willingness to do so are a key aspect of the position.
This is a demanding role by design. It is not about instruction-taking. It is for someone who thrives on responsibility, autonomy, pace, and raising the bar.
The Role As an Executive Assistant at digiLab, you will operate in a busy, varied, and high-impact role, providing senior-level partnership that enables executives to focus on the highest-value growth activities, combining strong traditional EA capability with proactive judgement, initiative, and the ability to bring clarity to complexity, structure to growth, and momentum to execution—anticipating needs often before they are articulated.
Areas of Responsibility Be a mature, confidential, and strategic partner to our executive(s):
Stakeholder & Business Impact
DigiLab Culture Our culture is one of our most prized assets, and a core part of our identity as a business. An important part of your role as EA will be to:
Duties may evolve, and you may be asked to take on other reasonable responsibilities within your competence to support our growth. Required Skills To thrive in our fast-moving, scaling AI start-up, you will need adaptability, resilience, sound judgement under pressure, genuine curiosity about the technology we build, and the ability to combine warmth with sharp professionalism in one of the organisation's most visible roles.

In Addition, Some ‘nice To Haves' Are
Location: This role is based on-site at digiLab's offices on the Quay, Exeter, though you may be required to travel at times to fulfil the role, as the executives you will be supporting may not all be located in Exeter.

Our Culture and Values At digiLab, we prioritise work-life balance with a 4-day workweek (Monday to Thursday), offering a full-time salary and three-day weekends every week! Our team is built on strong connections, with regular socials like game nights, bouldering, and paddleboarding.
