ABOUT THE ROLE

At the heart of our agency is a role that keeps everything — and everyone — moving. Our Office Manager & PA is the steady pulse behind the pace, effortlessly juggling board‑level diaries, contracts, onboarding, last‑minute pitch decks, and day‑to‑day office life.

Highly organised, proactive, digitally confident, and hands‑on, they quietly make everything run smoothly, from tech setup and travel coordination, to culture moments like birthdays and celebrations. Simply put, they are the heartbeat of the agency, turning motion into momentum.
