Temp: Studio Manager/Team EA at Interior Design Firm - SW London

This brilliant interior design company is looking for a proactive, self starter who is able to dive into this temporary support role and help their busy design team and director with an array of tasks, as well as ensuring the smooth running of the studio/office. It is an ongoing temp position and will be based in their offices in South West London. They are a small team and with current Covid restrictions the team are doing a couple of days in the office each week and the rest from home, so people will be in and out but there may be odd occasions when you are on your own in the office. As a result, the role needs someone with at least 3 years previous PA/EA or office management experience in a creative environment. Since there won’t always be people around directing you, a lot of your communication will be done with the directors and team over email and text so it is imperative you can think for yourself, use initiative and are confident in your own abilities. They are a young and friendly team, but extremely busy and things need to be done at a fast pace so this role really needs someone with a great work ethic who is willing to roll up their sleeves and help out in any way they can. Duties will include but not be limited to:

• Handling logistics for their e-commerce side of the business i.e packing and posting the online products to customers, sorting out and categorising the stock
• Helping ensure all gvt guidelines re covid are being following in the office
• HR duties – managing staff holiday rotas, health and safely processes etc.
• IT – sorting any issues with the teams laptops or breaks. Some common sense needed on this front
• Personal admin for the Founders i.e sorting parking or booking appointment etc.
• Buying and sending gifts for clients
• Keeping office tidy and helping with filing, admin etc.
• Helping wider team with ad hoc EA tasks as and when needed
• Assisting with social media output/content and awareness of content and news from key suppliers and industry names

They are looking for someone to do 5-6 hours a day in this role starting from 26^th April on an ongoing basis. While this is a temp role, there could be a long term permanent opportunity for the right person as the company has long term plans to grow. The ideal candidate will have worked in a creative environment before – previous experience in interior design is a real plus – and be confident, bright and switched on.
