The key figure: 87% of global CEOs consider agility a top priority
According to PwC’s 2024 Global CEO Survey, 87% of CEOs say that agility and operational flexibility are critical for business survival and growth. This statistic alone speaks volumes about today’s business environment — fast-moving, uncertain, and increasingly cross-border.
In this context, traditional in-house office support structures often fall short. Enter the freelance office manager at shared time, a new kind of high-performance support solution tailored for international organisations that need more — without the weight of permanent contracts.
Why global businesses need high-level freelance office managers
The role of the office manager has evolved far beyond diary coordination and supplier management. Today, elite office managers act as operational pilots, often serving as the glue between C-level executives, cross-border teams, and external stakeholders.
Here’s why companies are turning to freelance professionals:
🔹 Flexibility without compromise
Freelancers on a part-time basis allow businesses to scale support up or down depending on project needs, without sacrificing professionalism or quality.
🔹 Bilingual and bicultural excellence
Plateya’s talents are fluent in English and French, with experience working in multicultural, high-stakes environments — perfect for international companies operating in or with France.
🔹 Strategic vision, not just execution
These professionals go beyond admin tasks. They bring business acumen, anticipate needs, and often act as trusted advisors to founders, CEOs, and executive boards.
🔹 Cost-effective seniority
By engaging top-tier freelancers at 2 to 4 days per week, companies gain senior expertise without committing to full-time executive salaries.
Executive assistant or office manager? Why a hybrid profile wins
In fast-paced international structures, roles blend. The most effective support profiles combine traits of both:
| Role | Key Strengths |
|---|---|
| Office Manager | Organisation, operations, supplier coordination |
| Executive Assistant | Discretion, time management, CEO support |
| Hybrid Profile | Combines both + strategic insight & bilingualism |
This hybrid profile is what Plateya specialises in sourcing: rare professionals who can wear multiple hats and adapt to a CEO’s rhythm, while bringing structure and foresight to the organisation.
