Join a buzzing, award-winning creative advertising agency that's shaping the future of bold brands and unforgettable campaigns.

Are you super organised, people-savvy, and love being at the heart of a fast-moving creative hub? Our client is on the lookout for an Executive Assistant & Reception Lead to bring energy, structure, and spark to both their leadership team and our front-of-house experience.

This is more than just a support role — you’ll be working closely with the Finance Director, CEO, and MD, and leading a vibrant reception team, helping to create a welcoming and high-performing agency environment.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Executive Assistant Vibes:

• Own the diaries of the CEO & MD — keep things flowing, keep things confidential
• Book travel, sort expenses, and coordinate timesheets like a pro
• Help plan team training (including our IPA Gold Certification )
• Build slick PowerPoint decks that bring ideas to life
• Organise client entertaining (we know how to host )
• Stay ahead of GDPR requirements and support key HR/confidential surveys
• Be our sustainability champion — leading our carbon-neutral efforts
• Play a central role in our 2026 office move (or upgrade!), working with the Office & IT team

Front of House Rockstar:

• Lead and motivate our reception team (you + 1) to deliver the warmest welcome in London
• Keep our meeting rooms running like clockwork (with tech help from IT)
• Manage kitchen supplies and deliveries — keeping the vibes and snacks flowing
• Coordinate legendary agency events + support Opinium events if needed
• Drive creative ideas to level up our front-of-house experience

What We’re Looking For:

• A confident multitasker with strong EA experience and people-management skills
• Someone who gets creative agency life and thrives in fast-paced environments
• Super organised, detail-obsessed, and ready to juggle multiple priorities
• Positive, proactive, and full of energy — with a great sense of humour
• Strong communicator who can connect across all levels of a business
• Comfortable leading, collaborating, and sometimes flying solo
• A passion for creativity, people, and making things run beautifully

Perks & Culture:

• £40,000 salary
• Free breakfast every day (fuel up!)
• Team lunch every Thursday — eat, chat, catch up
• Work with brilliant minds in a vibrant, award-winning agency
