Artist campaigns, packed calendars, moving invoices, last-minute requests, half-finished thoughts. All of this requires a tight ship to be run. As our Executive Assistant, you’ll be running a system to make sure all of the above runs smoothly and as efficiently as possible for the wider team. You’ll support the leadership team across company operations, finance admin, diary management, office organisation and day-to-day logistics. This is an operational role at the centre of the business. You'll own the manual, reactive work that keeps everything moving, so the central team can stay focused on theirs. This is not a content role, a social media role, or a way into the creative team. It's for someone who actually enjoys operations and making things run properly. In short, spreadsheets give you life. What Will I Do? Leadership & Executive Support • Support the central team with day-to-day operations, coordination and practical admin, • Take ownership of recurring admin and the manual work that keeps everything running, • Manage diary and calendar logistics, • Support travel planning and bookings, • Handle reactive in-person tasks and day-to-day problem-solving, • Act as an information filter by surfacing what matters and quietly handling what doesn’t Finance & Business Operations • Support the day-to-day running of finance and admin across the business, • Help manage billing, invoicing, payment follow-up and internal financial processes, • Keep trackers, records and operational systems accurate, organised and up to date, • Work confidently within existing automations and internal systems New Business & Internal Support • Build Mailchimp templates and handle sends, • Support outreach, follow-up and day-to-day coordination, • Organise assets, source files and supporting materials when needed, • Support research for internal strategy work and wider company outputs, • Help produce recurring internal updates and newsletters Meetings, Team Admin & Office Management • Act as a first point of contact for internal logistics and team admin queries, • Support meeting prep, note-taking and action tracking, • Help maintain a calm, organised and well-run office, • Manage post, parcels, supplies and equipment, • Coordinate cleaners, deliveries and day-to-day practical upkeep, • Maintain shared trackers, contact systems and internal resources across the business Who Are You? Educated to degree level (preferred in a relevant field). An undergraduate degree in Business Administration, Business Management, Operations or a closely related field is preferred. The grounding matters. We want someone who has already studied how organisations actually run. Experienced in a similar role. You’ve done this kind of work before. You’ve supported a leadership team, run a calendar, owned the trackers, and learned the rhythm of operational work in a fast-moving environment. Organised to an unusual degree. You get genuine satisfaction from a well-maintained tracker, a tidy inbox, and a room that’s been set up before anyone even has to ask. A natural at managing people and priorities. You’re comfortable working across different styles, personalities and levels of urgency without needing constant hand-holding. Calm under reactive pressure. Things move quickly here. You’re discreet, reliable and level-headed enough to keep moving with them. Digitally native and tech-literate. You're not a developer, but you've already worked out how to use automations to make your own life easier. You'll do the same for us. Confident with numbers. You’re comfortable working with figures day to day. Reconciling invoices, spotting errors in a tracker, sense-checking a total, keeping budgets and payment records tidy. Numbers don't intimidate you, and you take care to get them right. Fluent in the essentials. Strong Google Workspace skills are essential, especially in Sheets. You're comfortable with formulas, filters, and building trackers that work properly. Experience with Xero and Mailchimp is a bonus. Being quick with new tools matters more. Industry-curious. You're interested in music and culture, and you've got enough context to spot the details. Operations-oriented by choice. This matters most: you want to build a career in operations. You're here for the role itself, not as a way into content or socials, but you still have somewhat of an understanding for music and the industry. What’s in it for You? • Salary: £26,000–£30,000 depending on experience., • Unlimited Annual Leave: With tracking and support to ensure a minimum of 28 days per year., • Generous Pension Contributions: 2:1 employer match on pension contributions., • Career Progression: A clear development path, with scope to grow into an Operations or Business Manager function as the company scales., • Hybrid Working: Two days in the office per week, based in East London, with the option to work remotely., • Vibrant Work Culture: Collaborate with like-minded peers who prioritise creativity and a balanced work-play environment.
