PA to the Directors

Candlestar is an innovative London based cultural consultancy dedicated to ensuring that we bring the very best people - communicators, producers, curators, managers and marketeers - to work on behalf of our international clients in arts, education and business.

We are an ambitious young company with a developing portfolio of high profile clients in arts and education. To meet the needs of such clients we are committed to the development of a team of outstanding people with drive, imagination, entrepreneurial approach and commitment. These qualities will be vital as we seek to sustain and build on Candlestar's achievements to date. 

The PA to the Directors plays a vital role in our organisation. You will be a key point of contact for clients and VIPs and will need to be confident, articulate  and diplomatic. You will manage meetings, ensure all actions are followed up and manage complex diaries, whilst using a high level of judgement to manage time and prioritise arrangements. You will need to manage inboxes and mail, handle telephone enquiries, screen calls and respond to queries directly. You will also coordinate complex travel itineraries.

You will need to build internal and external relationships, and ensure the quality of all documents coming out of the office. You will need to work well with people, undertaking general office management activities as requested. The successful candidate will demonstrate the ability to show initiative and a clear commitment to working in a team, and to produce work to the highest quality.

This post provides an exciting and demanding opportunity for a pro-active and efficient person who is attracted to a role that requires both meticulous attention to detail, diplomatic skills and an ability to work to very tight deadlines.

As Candlestar is, increasingly, working on an international basis, an ability to communicate effectively in one or more European languages would be highly advantageous.
