Job description
We are looking for our "Linchpin." You will be the first senior operational hire of this new phase, acting as the Head of Talent and Right Hand to the Founder.

- General Management & Operations
Operational Backbone: Manage the day-to-day rhythm of the business and ensure processes are in place and maintained.
Agency & Platform Liaison: Act as the operational glue between our Agency team (delivering physical events) and our Platform team (building software), ensuring resources are allocated correctly.
Office & Remote Management: Organise team logistics, equipment procurement, and ensure our hybrid setup works seamlessly.
- Executive Support (The "Right Hand")
Gatekeeper & Enabler: Manage the Founder's complex schedule, prioritising their time against strategic goals and filtering out noise.

Requirements
You are a "Force Multiplier": You have experience in a Chief of Staff, Operations Manager, or Executive Assistant role within a high-growth startup or agency.
You know HR basics: You aren't necessarily a lawyer, but you know your way around an employment contract, IR35, and basic HR compliance in the UK.
You are radically organised: You love Slack, Trello, Asana etc and are proficient in G Suite. You bring order to chaos and create processes that scale.
You have "Low Ego / High Output": No task is too small (booking a flight) and no task is too big (hiring a CTO). You do what is needed to move the business forward.
You "Get" the Culture: You understand the pace of a creative agency and the structure of a tech platform. An interest in sneaker culture or streetwear is a massive plus, but not required.
