A rare opportunity has arisen to work for a top tier social media company - consistently ranked across the industry by employees, as the best company to work for. Our client seeks a Team Leader to oversee 7 assistants who work within a highly dynamic, fast-paced and international department.

Reporting to your Director, your duties will include:

  • Holding regular one to one catch ups with the assistants 
  • Oversee the onboarding of new recruits, nurturing talent and aiding their development
  • Monitor assistant workloads, recommending or determining whether additional assistant support is required 
  • Become the point of contact for any queries / issues the assistants may have
  • Lead meetings across departments (e.g. with facilities, IT, events etc.)

This opportunity provides a wealth of variety; you'll be able to plan and lead internal team building and social events, liaise with external event support and implement and track budgets for internal events. The 7 assistants support a team of 650, so you must be accustomed to working in a big environment within Technology or Media.

From an operational point of view, you will also act as the first point of call for facility issues, ensure quality control from external vendors, escalate important issues and take overall decisions related to most office issues. The client is seeking someone capable of space planning, as a large desk move is planned in the coming months.

Key requirements:

  • Relevant experience overseeing a team of assistants 
  • You MUST have at least 5 years' experience supporting at Senior level (Directors, C-Suite individuals)
  • Existing experience gained within media/tech would be highly advantageous
  • A warm and approachable manner
  • Sound attention to detail
  • Remain calm and professional at all times 
  • Experience planning events 

Whilst advantageous to be immediately available, candidates with notice will also be considered. Whilst an 11 month contract, this client has demonstrated in the past that they are more than willing to retain outstanding employees. If you feel you meet the above criteria, please do not hesitate to apply.

Interviews are taking place immediately.
