£Generous + benefits
Part time, permanent
Flexible but in London at least one day per week
We’re on the lookout for a business manager to join the team, helping us to stay organised and keep growing. Could it be you? Here are the details:
The role
We’re looking for someone who can help us manage all non-writing aspects of our business:
A core part of the job will be helping us keep on top of admin – everything from chasing up invoices to paying salaries, booking travel, managing the team calendar and liaising with the accountants.
Depending on your experience, we’ll also be looking for you to combine this with a more operational role: finding ways to help us improve profitability, work more efficiently as a team and delight our clients. We’re very open to new ideas and better ways of working so you can have a big impact, fast.
The role is permanent, 3 or 4 days a week and flexible – see below
The benefits
Aside from a generous salary and benefits (including pension contributions) you’ll get to work for a business with its priorities in place. We believe in working hard during working hours – not dragging work into people’s evenings and weekends – and if you need to fit us around the school run we’re fine with that, too. We know how important flexibility is to everyone’s lives. So we’re happy for you to work remotely if you want – but we will need you to be in our London office at least one day a week (although you’d be very welcome to come more often). Every year we also organise a company surf trip to Cornwall, which can involve as much or as little surfing as you want!
The person
We’re looking for someone who has account management or admin/project management experience within an agency environment.
Experience-wise, we’re flexible. We do need someone who’s willing to get stuck into some admin. But equally we’d still love to hear from you if you’re at director level. For us it’s about finding the right person, and we’ll build the role (and salary) around you and what you can bring.
You’ll need to have excellent communication skills (we don’t send blunt, officious-sounding emails even when someone owes us loads of money), a good sense of humour and an optimistic, can-do attitude. That last one may sound like a cliché but you really will need it.
If you’re interested, send your CV to admin@writingclub.co.uk and we’ll be in touch.
