The Role

We are seeking a personal assistant to support the founder and her growing team in the day-to-day running of this fast-paced business.  This is a high ownership role for a confident, assertive self-starter. You will gain exposure to international business operations, commercial strategy, global travel, and events.

The Candidate

We are looking for someone early in their assistant career who is eager to learn, enjoys taking ownership and thrives in a fast-paced environment.  You are commercially aware and highly organised.  You will have a strong academic background and be able to listen, understand the material and think analytically and methodically, especially when it comes to problem-solving and contributing to the wider brand agenda.  You have worked with a founder before and understand the nuances of supporting a person in this role.  If you have experience with a creative founder, then that’s a bonus.

You are accustomed to working quickly and efficiently, so you can effectively support the founder (who is direct in her feedback and communication style) and to keep up with the pace and growth of the business.  With several projects being devised and executed at any one time, the successful candidate must feel comfortable running multiple information streams at once.  Priorities change quickly, balls get dropped, and you need to be there to catch them. Whilst you will learn about the industry and business on the job, you need to come in with some experience of executive support and management.

You must have outstanding written and verbal communication skills; be confident in drafting briefs, emails, reports, and presentations.  You must be highly proficient in macOS, Microsoft Office Suite, and Photoshop.  You will have impeccable organisational skills, plus meticulous attention to detail and time management skills.  You remain calm under pressure.

This role is not a stepping stone; the team needs consistency and someone who is content to grow within the role rather than stepping into other departments.

Your role will include but not be limited to the following:
