For Executive Assistants
This is how EA work should feel.
If you're an experienced EA who's tired of roles that underuse you, clients who don't get you, or the isolation of freelancing without the infrastructure — Glued was built with you in mind too.
We place EAs into partnerships that are matched on personality and working style. Which means you work with someone who values what you bring, operates at a pace that suits you, and gives you space to do your best work.
Why Glued is Different for EAs
We don't just find you a client.
We find you the right one.
Matched on compatibility
Every placement starts with DISC profiling. We match you based on how you work, not just what you can do. No more landing with a client whose pace, communication style, or expectations are fundamentally incompatible with yours.
Roles that respect your level
Our clients are senior managers and directors, founders and small business owners, who need strategic support, not someone to sort their post. The work is substantive. The relationship is professional. You'll be used at the level you've earned.
Glued handles the infrastructure
Pay, contracts, HR, invoicing. We manage all of it. You focus on the work. No chasing payments, no admin overhead, no navigating client relationships without backup. We're here if anything needs resolving.
Fractional means flexibility
Fractional placements mean you can work with more than one client if your capacity allows. Build a portfolio of partnerships that reflects how you work best without the instability of purely freelance life.
Ongoing support
We don't place you and disappear. Quarterly reviews mean we're checking in on both sides of the partnership. If something isn't working, we address it before it becomes a problem that costs you the placement.
Founded by an EA
Annalli has spent 25 years in the role. She understands what makes it brilliant and what makes it unbearable. That perspective shapes every decision we make about how we treat the EAs in our network.

Who We're Looking For
The standard we hold our network to.
We're not looking for the most experienced EA in the room. We're looking for the right one for each client. But there are qualities we find in every EA who thrives in a Glued partnership.
010203040506Proactive, not reactive
You're already thinking three steps ahead. You don't wait to be asked — you anticipate, flag, and act. Our clients need someone who reads the situation, not someone who waits for instructions.
High discretion as standard
You're already thinking three steps ahead. You don't wait to be asked — you anticipate, flag, and act. Our clients need someone who reads the situation, not someone who waits for instructions.
Adaptable under pressure
Things change fast at senior level. Priorities shift, plans collapse, and the 11pm message is real. We look for EAs who stay calm, adapt quickly, and don't need their hand held when it gets intense.
Commercially aware
You understand that your client's time has a business value. You prioritise accordingly. You know the difference between urgent and important, and you protect their bandwidth for the things that matter.
Clear communicator
Fractional means you're not always physically present. You communicate clearly, concisely, and proactively. Your client always knows where things stand without having to ask.
Ready to be a strategic partner
The best placements go beyond task management. Our clients want an EA who has an opinion, challenges constructively, and thinks about the bigger picture. If that's how you work, you'll thrive here.
Why DISC profiling changes the outcome.
DISC is a behavioural assessment tool that identifies how people prefer to communicate, make decisions, handle conflict, and manage pace. It's used extensively in leadership development and high-performance team building.
We use it because the most common reason EA placements fail is not competence. It's incompatibility. A D-style executive paired with an S-style EA who needs consensus before acting. A C-style manager paired with an I-style EA who leads with energy over detail. The skills were fine. The match wasn't.
When the profiles align, the partnership feels almost effortless from the start. That's what we're building.
