WE'RE HIRING: EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT (EA) 📍 Leeds | Full-time | Competitive Salary (Up to £40,000 per annum based on experience) + Benefits We’re looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to work directly with both the Founder and Managing Director of GET BAKED. You will be at the centre of the business — helping organise, prioritise, and execute across everything from product launches and content shoots to supplier conversations, internal projects, and general chaos management. You’ll work most closely with the Founder (day-to-day), while also supporting the MD on key operational and strategic priorities. If you like structure, predictability, and a quiet life — this is not for you. If you like fast-moving, slightly chaotic, high-growth environments where no two days look the same — you’ll thrive. What You’ll Be Doing: Founder Support (Primary Focus) • Managing an ever-changing diary, ensuring time is used properly (and not wasted), • Acting as a gatekeeper — filtering noise, prioritising what matters, • Supporting with content planning, filming days, and creative projects, • Organising meetings, site visits, and external collaborations, • Keeping projects moving — chasing people, following up, making things happen, • Turning ideas into action (and occasionally telling the Founder “no”) MD Support (Secondary) • Assisting with scheduling, meetings, and internal coordination, • Supporting key business projects and deadlines, • Helping keep operational priorities on track General Business Support • Coordinating across teams (bakery, stores, warehouse, media), • Supporting launches, campaigns, and internal initiatives, • Handling sensitive information with total discretion, • Bringing order to fast-moving, messy situations What We’re Looking For: • Highly organised — borderline obsessive about it, • Calm under pressure (even when everything is on fire), • Excellent communicator — clear, direct, and confident, • Proactive — you don’t wait to be told what to do, • Commercially aware — you understand what matters in a growing business, • Thick-skinned — able to handle direct feedback and fast pace, • Trustworthy — you’ll be exposed to everything Bonus points if you: • Have worked in a high-growth startup or founder-led business, • Have experience supporting a founder or senior leadership team, • Understand content, social media, or creative production environments What This Role Is (and Isn’t): This is: • A high-impact role with real responsibility, • A front-row seat to how a fast-growing brand operates, • An opportunity to grow quickly with the business This isn’t: • A passive admin job, • A 9–5 where you switch off completely, • A role for someone who needs constant direction Why GET BAKED? We’re not a typical bakery. We’re building a brand with a cult following, a strong point of view, and big ambitions. You’ll be working directly with the people driving that — not sitting on the sidelines. Salary & Benefits: • Competitive salary (based on experience - up to £40,000 per annum), • Staff perks (50% off all products in store and online), • Opportunity to grow with the business Qualifications and Experience: Minimum of at least 5 years experience in a similar role acting as an EA or PA for a growing business is essential — please don’t apply if you don’t fit this criteria. Positive references will also be sought and be necessary to be successful in the role.
