PA to Entrepreneur / CEO

Our client is in the hospitality sector, creating innovative brands in entertainment / concept venues.  They have grown rapidly and have opened multiple international bars/restaurants.  They are continually striving to develop and expand their concepts and their newly formed Project Department now need a first class administrator to help keep them organised.  In addition, the CEO (an inspirational and creative character!) needs a highly efficient PA to help keep him on track!

This is a combined PA/Project Assistant role - busy, fast-paced and very challenging.  Definitely not for the faint-hearted, you will need to be self-sufficient and at the top of your game at all times.

Main duties will include:

Full PA support to the CEO

Diary management for the senior management team

Act as the 'go to' person for the Project Team

Scheduling / planning and general admin for the Project Team

Attending meetings, circulating agendas, taking minutes and following up action points

Organising global travel

Contributing to concept planning, delivery and execution

Researching and presenting information

Communicate project programmes and workstream timelines (they are currently looking into various project management software options)

The Person:

You will need to be incredibly organised and efficient with excellent communication skills and the ability to manage constantly changing and evolving priorities.  This is an unstructured and non-hierarchical environment and you will be expected to find creative solutions to problems and to manage your own time / workload.  

The environment is fun, collaborative and fast- paced.  You will be dealing with an entrepreneur who is inspiring and creative - he is passionate and demanding (but an extremely personable and likeable character).

You will ideally have worked in an entrepreneurial environment before - with a background in PA / project support roles.
