Executive Assistant to The Founder

Unlock new business growth opportunities and make all operations run like clockwork.

Part time or full time, contract role. 

The salary for this role is £20k

This role is requires incredible organisation, attention to detail, good copywriting and an ability to move fast. Are you the kind of person who really does get sh*t done, make friends wherever you go and never takes no for an answer? Read on…

The Role

Much of our growth to date has been driven by Lottie’s profile, connections and conversations. This happens over dinners with other Founders, at networking events and through her LinkedIn inbox.

Managing this is becoming a big job and there is a lot we can do to work “her” harder. As a key growth driver for both businesses, there’s now a need for full time support to maximise ‘brand Lottie’ and the opportunities that come through it.

What does this job need to do?

– Organise Lottie’s life, so she’s always in the right place at the right time. This could be booking meeting & identifying networking opportunities or squeezing in a haircut for her (& ensuring she had some down time when needed)!

– Manage Lottie’s community – this is replying to LinkedIn comments and having conversations on her behalf. Ability to ghost write as her is important.

– Seek out profile building opportunities for Lottie, from podcasts to events, knowing what Lottie’s and the Copy Club’s audience want to hear about and finding those special people that others don’t even know about yet.

– Take on ad hoc tasks, from formatting presentations, to sending contracts, to research tasks.

How will we measure success?

– Lottie’s stress levels (don’t worry… this isn’t all your problem) – in short we need to all agree that she couldn’t do what she does without you

– Efficient management of all process, from ensuring all meetings get set up, to evidence we’ve built and automated effective sales processes.

The Details…

This role is an internal ops function, while you’ll be reporting directly into Lottie (CEO) you’ll have pastoral care from Bee (Head of People)

This role is fully remote and doesn’t need to be UK based. Note, we are not covering travel costs to return to the UK for team-building, so if you’re based out side the UK you might feel independent.

The ideal candidate would have experience as an EA to a Sales Director.

You’ll have…

Experience working with a busy founder as a Personal Assistant or the equivalent. This includes but not limited to diary and email management, travel booking, and any personal requests.

– Strong organisation skills and know how to juggle multiple plates.

– The ability to ghost write for anyone – especially Lottie.

– A real curiosity for tech and automation, always looking for hacks to do things faster.

– A strong written and verbal communicator

– Resilient and comfortable moving very fast

– Autonomous – we have a very supportive culture but this role won’t have hand holding

We would consider part time for this role.

Perks:

The package depends on the individual and whether they are UK based FTE or remote contractor. We’ll endeavour to mirror our handbook in full for anyone who joins the business.

🌴 25 days holiday (and bank holidays) plus a bonus day at Christmas & your birthday.

🌟 Enhanced Paternity/Maternity leave/pay

We want you to feel you belong here and we welcome candidates from all backgrounds.

We believe it’s not only the right thing to do, but it’s also right for our community – and our industry. If you feel like you belong, you’re more likely to do your best.

Your wellbeing is really important to us. We have an active mental health policy and believe strongly that this stuff matters. We have private weekly wellness check-ins, and have easy actionable steps for taking a mental health sick day. Open communication and conversation about mental health is always welcome and encouraged at Copy Club – we never shy away from the hard stuff.
