Part-Time Private Personal Assistant

Job Description

We’re supporting a high profile individual in the economics and media space who is entering a particularly busy and exciting phase in their career. With a background in finance and a strong public platform, their current work includes a mix of digital content, public speaking, media appearances, and a recently published book.

To help manage this dynamic schedule, they are seeking a proactive, highly organised, and adaptable part-time Private PA (temporary 6 – 8 weeks).

Key responsibilities will include:

• Diary and travel management
• Coordinating logistics for interviews, events, and speaking engagements
• Running errands across London (e.g. post office runs, event preparation, sourcing materials)
• Providing ad hoc in-person support at a home-based office in East London
• Liaising with external contacts including publishers, agents, and media teams
• General administrative support as required

The ideal candidate will be:

• Exceptionally organised with strong attention to detail
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, ever-changing environment
• Discreet, professional, and trustworthy
• London-based, with flexibility to travel around the city as needed
• Experienced in PA or admin roles - experience in media, publishing, or creative sectors is a bonus
• Genuinely interested in economic and social issues (helpful but not essential)

This is a rare opportunity to support a widely respected thought leader at a pivotal moment in their public journey. Perfect for someone who thrives behind the scenes and enjoys making things run smoothly for others.
