Job Description

Tiger Recruitment is partnering with a leading international luxury retail business to find an experienced and confident PA to support their Marketing Director during the busiest quarter of the year. This is a temporary assignment covering a period of absence, running until at least mid-December, and would suit an immediately available PA or someone with a short notice period.

Location: Oxfordshire (minimum 3 days a week in the office)
Contract: Temporary, immediate start until mid-December
Rate: Equivalent to £40,000 to £45,000 per annum, depending on experience

What you'll do:

You will be the primary point of contact for the Marketing Director and will also support her three direct reports. This is a fast-paced, high-volume role at the heart of a busy marketing function, where protecting the Director's time and keeping things moving will be your top priority.

  • Managing a complex and constantly changing diary, along with inbox management
  • Acting as gatekeeper, fielding requests from a large network of PAs and senior stakeholders across the wider business, and prioritising accordingly
  • Preparing for weekly meetings, taking meeting notes and following up on actions
  • Building and formatting presentation decks
  • Working closely with the other PAs on site to align schedules and keep the leadership team coordinated

Who you are: 

  • An experienced PA or EA with a strong track record of supporting senior leaders in a demanding environment
  • Confident managing senior stakeholders and comfortable pushing back when needed to protect your Director's time
  • Resilient and proactive, with the judgement to make decisions and take ownership without needing constant sign-off
  • Calm under pressure, highly organised and able to anticipate needs before they arise
  • Strong PowerPoint skills and a high level of attention to detail
  • Flexible with your working hours: core hours are roughly 8am to 6pm, with occasional later evenings during busy periods
  • Experience in marketing, retail or luxury would be a bonus, but is not essential

Working arrangements:

The role is office-based for a minimum of three days a week, occasionally four, in line with the Director's schedule. Some flexibility on start and finish times can be offered to those commuting from London.

If you are an experienced PA available at short notice and ready to hit the ground running in a high-profile role, we would love to hear from you. Apply today with your CV.
