London

A rare opportunity to support a senior leader at the forefront of a fast‑scaling tech, media and creative business shaping the future of their industry. This is not a traditional EA role. You will operate as a true right hand – helping drive priorities, optimise time, and keep pace in a high‑energy, ideas‑driven environment where no two days look the same.

The Role

• Acting as an extension of a senior leader – managing diary, inbox and shifting priorities with precision
• Owning time strategy, ensuring focus is aligned to high‑impact work
• Driving projects forward proactively, not just coordinating
• Acting as a central connector across teams, ensuring clarity and momentum
• Supporting high‑profile events, travel and external engagements
• Operating with autonomy, judgement and pace in a dynamic setting

The Environment

• Fast‑paced, entrepreneurial and constantly evolving
• Deeply embedded in media, creators, culture and emerging tech
• Collaborative, informal and highly ambitious
• Office‑based in central London, with international exposure over time

The Individual

• Highly proactive with a strong sense of ownership – you make things happen
• Naturally organised but commercially aware and forward‑thinking
• Deep interest in media, culture, trends and the creator landscape
• Comfortable operating at pace, with energy, resilience and sound judgement
• Confident communicator with strong EQ and a collaborative mindset
• Curious, adaptable and excited by innovation, including AI

Background

• Experience within tech, media, creative, PR, talent, or high‑growth environments
• Could suit a high‑potential EA early in their career or a more experienced Business Partner
• Exposure to fast‑moving or founder‑led businesses is advantageous

Why Apply

• Exceptional exposure to a high‑growth creative business
• Work closely with a dynamic and influential senior leader/s
• Genuine scope for progression as the role evolves
• A unique opportunity to build experience at the intersection of tech, media, culture and innovation
