Job Description
We are working exclusively with a fast-growing international media business to find an exceptional Executive Assistant to the Founder.
Our client is a strategic media partner to businesses worldwide, specialising in Film Production, Distribution and Thought Leadership positioning. Founded in 2015, the business has grown to around 100 people globally, with offices across London, the US, Dubai and Berlin.
This is a high-energy, entrepreneurial environment, producing around 25–30 projects a month for organisations around the world.
The Role
This is a genuinely hands-on EA position supporting the Founder across both his professional and personal life.
The successful candidate will become a trusted right hand, taking ownership of a wide range of responsibilities including:
- Complex diary and meeting management
- Extensive international travel planning and logistics
- Personal and ad hoc support
- Property portfolio administration and coordination
- Supporting an upcoming office move
- Organising company events and internal initiatives
- Anticipating requirements and proactively taking things off the Founder's plate
This is not a role for someone who simply waits for instructions. We need someone who naturally thinks ahead, spots what needs doing and gets it done.
About You
You will be polished, well-presented and confident, with the maturity to work closely with a successful Founder while fitting naturally into a young, sociable and fast-paced office.
We are looking for someone who is:
- Highly organised and exceptionally proactive
- Intelligent, switched-on and commercially aware
- Confident using their own initiative
- Comfortable managing multiple priorities at speed
- Discreet and trustworthy
- Happy handling both professional and personal responsibilities
- Naturally personable and sociable
- Comfortable with extensive international travel arrangements
- Interested in current affairs, UK politics, international affairs, geopolitics and economics
- Experienced in supporting a demanding senior individual, Founder or entrepreneur
Presentation and personality are important. You will need to be someone who can build an excellent relationship with the Founder and operate confidently in a high-expectation environment.
The Founder
The Founder is internationally minded, highly driven and operates at considerable pace. He is described as fair but demanding, with high standards and a strong emphasis on trust, initiative and getting things done.
He spends significant time travelling internationally, particularly between the UK, Dubai and the US, so the ability to manage a complex and constantly changing schedule is essential.
