Job description

Tiger Recruitment is partnering with a leading international luxury retail business to find an experienced and confident PA to support their Marketing Director during the busiest quarter of the year. This is a temporary assignment covering a period of absence, running until at least mid-December, and would suit an immediately available PA or someone with a short notice period.

Location: Oxfordshire (minimum 3 days a week in the office) - easy commute from London

Contract: Temporary, immediate start until mid-December

Rate: Equivalent to £40,000 to £45,000 per annum, depending on experience

What you’ll do:

You will be the primary point of contact for the Marketing Director and will also support her three direct reports. This is a fast-paced, high-volume role at the heart of a busy marketing function, where protecting the Director's time and keeping things moving will be your top priority.

• Managing a complex and constantly changing diary, along with inbox management
• Acting as gatekeeper, fielding requests from a large network of PAs and senior stakeholders across the wider business, and prioritising accordingly
• Preparing for weekly meetings, taking meeting notes and following up on actions
• Building and formatting presentation decks
• Working closely with the other PAs on site to align schedules and keep the leadership team coordinated

Who you are:

• An experienced PA or EA with a strong track record of supporting senior leaders in a demanding environment
• Confident managing senior stakeholders and comfortable pushing back when needed to protect your Director's time
• Resilient and proactive, with the judgement to make decisions and take ownership without needing constant sign-off
• Calm under pressure, highly organised and able to anticipate needs before they arise
• Strong PowerPoint skills and a high level of attention to detail
• Flexible with your working hours: core hours are roughly 8am to 6pm, with occasional later evenings during busy periods
• Experience in marketing, retail or luxury would be a bonus, but is not essential

Working arrangements:

The role is office-based for a minimum of three days a week, occasionally four, in line with the Director's schedule. Some flexibility on start and finish times can be offered to those commuting from London.
