Title: Executive Assistant / Business Development Coordinator 

Location: Based in-office 5 days per week, London

Contract: Temporary 12 month contract, full-time Maternity Cover

Overview:

We are looking for an energetic and resourceful EA / Business Coordinator to support the two founders (CEO and CCO) of Nexus Studios, based in Shoreditch, London across their new business development activities.

Working in a busy production environment, you will be highly organised and able to handle multiple tasks and changing priorities. You will be comfortable scheduling meetings, responding to high profile clients' emails on the executive's behalf, note taking in meetings and strategically follow up on next steps. Being a key representative of the company, you will anticipate needs and take pride in ensuring administration and communication runs smoothly.
