Package: Competitive package - C £40,000

Prior & Partners, one of the country's most dynamic communications, media and publishing business, founded by Annie Prior and former "Dragon" from BBC's Dragons Den, James Caan, is seeking an experienced Executive Assistant.

This is a unique and exciting opportunity for an executive assistant with management experience to work alongside the CEO and support her in running the day-to-day operations of the business.

The business has grown rapidly from its core service offering, as the CEO spends a considerable amount of time developing new business opportunities that move the company into new revenue streams encompassing events, B2B networking and bespoke brand awareness campaigns. As this ambitious team seek to offer an expanding range of services, a strong and structured manager is needed to assist in managing their delivery and implementation.

You will be responsible in helping manage staff across design, sales and finance to ensure projects remain on schedule and on budget, allowing the CEO to continually focus on developing new opportunities.
To be considered for this opportunity, you must have:

- Executive Assistant experience
- A proven track record of managing projects and project budgets
- A proven track record of managing a team

You'll need to be a smart, well groomed individual with a professional approach. You must be able to communicate at all levels and have a good understanding of project management, design and marketing.

You must be a "hands on" team player with good management skills in order to supervise the existing creative and sales team. You must also have an understanding of managing costs and be 'commercial' in your ability to find ways to ensure projects are profitable.

The role is demanding and requires a strong person who can multi-task in a fast-paced environment, whilst maintaining a high attention to detail. You must also be capable of planning, co-ordinating and executing project plans. The confidence to work closely with the senior management team and be proactive in offering support as and where necessary is also key.
