Reporting to the Managing Director, the Operations Lead / Executive Assistant is a pivotal role responsible for enabling leadership to operate at their highest level. This is not a traditional EA role, it is a hands-on, commercially minded position focused on execution, coordination and driving momentum across the business.
This pivotal role acts as the bridge between vision and delivery, bringing structure to ideas, maintaining operational flow and ensuring priorities translate into action. You will take ownership of day-to-day coordination, from diary and inbox management through to reporting, studio flow and business operations, while also contributing to outreach, pipeline development, client communications, strategic initiatives and ad hoc projects.
This role requires a proactive, high-energy operator who can manage competing priorities, influence stakeholders and keep pace with a fast-moving leadership team. You will play a key role in creating space and capacity for leadership, strengthening internal coordination and ensuring the business runs with clarity, focus and momentum.
