About the position



Have you ever carried out admin/HR projects? Great!
Looking for an exciting challenge where every day you get to make a difference? Fantastic!
Are you a problem solver, able to come up with solutions to problems yourself? Awesome!

A fast-growing team is looking for a Virtual Assistant (VA) to join and help support their growth. If you have experience managing as a VA, then we want to hear from you!



ABOUT THE COMPANY:

We help people and brands achieve their full potential. To this end, we have created a team that has become the jealously guarded secret for a number of successful existing and start-up brands. We are the people behind several of Amazon's success stories, working closely with brands to develop and deliver their digital marketplace strategy.

Now we're looking to become more efficient and need someone to step in and handle admin tasks as well as key projects and processes to support the business' growth. We are growing rapidly and are looking for the right people to join our team.



ABOUT THE ROLE:

We are looking for someone to join our rapidly growing digital marketing company. You'll have exposure to a full breadth of projects and tasks, with new challenges every day. With real responsibility - your opinions and decisions will count! Your role will include:

  • Working alongside one or multiple heads of departments to help organise and carry out necessary tasks and projects.

  • Write emails/make calls to different business and software providers and potentially negotiate terms and pricing.

  • Manage certain HR processes and be involved in carrying out HR tasks

  • Reviewing and chasing on weekly project hours clocked by the team

  • Create reports and run billing for the company on a weekly/monthly basis

  • Working with recruiters to identify new talent for the business

  • Be involved in managing company events and business travel

  • Other things that come up in the day-to-day running of a fast-growing business



ABOUT YOU:

A 2:1 or above in a Mathematics/Economics/Psychology, related degree is preferred. Experience in being a VA or handling admin tasks in previous roles. You should:

  • Have a strong analytical mind and be comfortable with numbers. Current team members include economists, mathematicians, consumer psychologists, and law graduates.

  • Have strong skills in prioritisation and organisation;

  • Be able to work alongside the heads of departments to understand what tasks need to be completed and what the deadlines are.

  • Be skilled at Office Suite, particularly Excel and Word - you need to know your pivot tables and =vlookups, or be sharp enough to learn them on your own;

  • Use initiative and problem-solve - if issues come up, are you going to be able to use your own initiative to find a solution or will you need someone to find a solution for you? We want problem solvers;

  • Schedule meetings, manage calendars, handle emails, and organise digital files;

  • Have keen interpersonal skills and an ability to relate to people from diverse backgrounds;

  • Demonstrable ability to think outside the box, innovate and think creatively.



LOCATION:
