About the job

Job summary

In January 2025, the Prime Minister launched the AI Opportunities Action Plan, placing artificial intelligence at the centre of the UK’s economic and national security strategy. The Sovereign AI Fund sits at the heart of this mission, with a clear mandate: to identify, back and scale the companies that will define the UK’s position in one of the most consequential technologies of our time.

Backed by up to £500 million, the Fund exists to turn ambition into action, supporting high-potential AI start-ups and scaleups to become national champions and strengthening the UK’s sovereign capability in frontier AI.

We are hiring a Private Secretary to support the Managing Partner and Chair of Sovereign AI.

This is a role for an individual who has been a trusted partner to leaders, with experience operating in high stake environments. You have strong judgment, discretion, and stakeholder management skills, and the proven ability to run complex calendars and travel, manage competing priorities, coordinate board/ministerial-level engagements, and build scalable operating rhythms. Ultimately, you are highly organised, proactive, and outcomes-focused and are genuinely excited by the mission of SovAI.

  • Stakeholder coordination: Liaise with internal teams, government agencies, portfolio partners, vendors, and senior external stakeholders.
  • Governance & meeting management: Prepare agendas, board/steering papers support, packs, minutes/records of decision, and action registers.
  • Briefings & correspondence: Draft and format briefs, talking points, correspondence, and presentations to a high standard.
  • Travel & events: Arrange complex domestic/international travel, itineraries, expenses, and executive-level events.
  • Confidentiality & risk: Handle sensitive information with discretion; maintain document control and secure filing systems.
  • Operations management: improvement: Establish/maintain operating cadence (weekly priorities, check-ins, templates), handle business processes including contract management, improving admin systems and processes.
  • Using AI tools: competent and comfortable using AI tools to automate processes.

Person specification

Essential criteria:

  • Executive calendar management and prioritisation in dynamic environments
  • High discretion, confidentiality, and sound judgment
  • Stakeholder management (senior internal/external, cross-functional)
  • Meeting governance: agendas, packs, minutes, action registers
  • Strong written communication (briefs, correspondence, formatting)
  • Project coordination and task tracking across multiple streams
  • Travel planning and expense management
  • Event coordination (executive meetings, roundtables, delegations)
  • Process improvement and building repeatable admin systems.
