Executive Assistant to Katy Wickremesinghe / Business Manager for KTW & The Wick

This role is the “Swiss army knife” of the founder Katy Wickremesinghe and businesses KTW & The Wick and requires a committed and diligent client facing individual who has lots of operational and administrative experience working in fast paced business as well as with clear visual art market expertise and cultural passion. At times they would be working solely with the founder as core support. At other times they would be coordinating a larger collective to reach business goals. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to be working as a right hand at the forefront of cultural leadership, innovation, and creativity with lots of opportunity for growth. An interest and understanding of the art world is essential as well as an understanding of creative leaders in industry.

This role requires someone dynamic, and London based who thrives in fast paced high intense workflow environments operating at a senior level in the creative industries. Whilst elements of the role are fully administrative to ensure systems and processes are maintained, this role will also provide an opportunity to be a client facing support in all areas (meetings / events / stakeholder conferences).

Clear upward management skills and an understanding of priorities is key. Events understanding, execution and guest list logistics would be required. The candidate will be required to support at KTW openings, events, dinners. You will report to Katy and have daily contact with Katy’s part time personal assistant. In person and remote autonomous working is required with a minimum of 3 days a week in person – a mix of 180 Strand and Battersea Power Station.

Whilst experience is important, attitude and tenacity are key, so we would welcome you to apply even if you don’t have all of the exact experience listed. If you are excited about the role and industry, we’d love to hear from you.
