Executive associate / assistant manager — ai & special projects

The role

A generalist role supporting a senior manager across a wide, changing mix of work: research, presentations, notes, project coordination, and material made with AI tools. Varied, practical, and carrying real responsibility early on.

We are not expecting a finished expert — domain knowledge is learnt on the job.

What you'll be doing

Taking on projects as they arise and seeing them through to completion. Using AI tools daily — research, drafting, summarising, basic analysis, images and video — and checking output before it goes out. Preparing presentations, briefing notes and short reports. Preparing meeting material, recording decisions and following up on action points. Setting up templates and trackers so recurring work becomes quicker. Tracking open items so nothing is missed.

What we're looking for

Accountability. Owns work start to finish; flags problems early. Follow-through. Deadlines met; work does not need chasing. Initiative. Notices what needs doing and gets on with it. Responsiveness. Prompt replies, clear updates, steady progress. Positive and level-headed. Constructive under pressure; straightforward to work with. Comfortable with technology. Has used Claude or Chat GPT, and a tool like Higgsfield; picks up new software unaided. Willingness to learn. Matters more to us than what you already know. Clear English, and sound working knowledge of slides and spreadsheets.

What you don't need

A particular degree, college or industry background. Any graduate discipline is welcome.
