Studio and Executive Assistant

The role.

We’re looking for a person to join us as Studio and Executive Assistant. If you’re good at making things happen and are passionate about taking charge, we are looking for you! As a natural multi-tasker, you are happiest when you are busy and can plan ahead to make everything run smoothly. Challenges do not easily shake you. Being a digital native, you are adept at solving problems and truly enjoy it. Your eye for detail is excellent, and nothing escapes your notice. You are a people person at heart and have a genuine interest in conversing with others and getting to know them.

Who we are.

DixonBaxi is a group of people who make beautiful, original brands that change the world for the better. We’re fuelled by creativity and reject convention. We are trusted by some of the world’s most exciting companies, including Hulu, Audible, AT&T, ITV X, British Land, IMAX, Konami, Channel 4, Eurosport, Netflix and AC Milan. Brands that seek to be brave and challenge convention.

We partner with brands and in-house creative teams across the world from our London studio. We seek revolution rather than evolution and embrace change to remain fiercely original.

What we believe.

Great design is born of difference; we constantly seek new perspectives and identities to build our team. We’re a vibrant, eclectic, open group of people from Seattle, Lagos, New Zealand and everywhere in between, which makes for a rich environment full of ideas.

DixonBaxi is a place of growth. A positive and diverse culture makes us all do great things. The creative studio atmosphere allows everyone to develop new skills, try new things and never settle. We are open-minded and adapt to new ways of working or thinking constantly. We foster access, opportunity and success for everyone.

Our studio home is based in London (N1), and we come together three days a week to enjoy the space, collaborate and time together. Studio time and our beautiful surroundings are crucial for creativity to thrive. Working together enables us to approach new ideas and inventions creatively and to enjoy the journey.

We care about the team and always look for new ways of working and supporting each other. Our 4.5-day week is a good example, and Friday lunches - the weekly thank you!

Our benefits include Mental Health Support, gym membership discounts and a cycle-to-work scheme. We encourage travel overseas to meet our clients and embrace the opportunity to do things together (like our Barcelona trip to the OFFF conference last year).

As for the fun stuff - we come together every Wednesday to celebrate projects, birthdays and workiversaries. There is the opportunity for each person to shout out thanks to other team members.

Who you are.

You would be at the centre of all things DixonBaxi, helping our Talent and Studio Manager keep the studio running smoothly. You need to lead by example, taking great pride in our home and ensuring everyone takes care of it like you do.

As our first point of contact, you would be the person your colleagues and partners go to for help with almost anything. You would work with all of the agency, including the co-founders, to help manage their diaries. You would also be our resident tech expert, ensuring the kit and accessories are constantly sorted. You will be able to troubleshoot and problem-solve.

What you do.

These are just some skills we would expect a Studio Assistant to have. Brilliance comes in many forms, though; our minds are always open.

• Ideally, 1-2 years of experience in a similar role
• Experience working closely with founders/co-founders to coordinate their diary management and personal requirements/planning
• Organising trips and travel
• Onsite at our London studio (N1) from Monday to Thursday each week
• Overseeing day-to-day facilities and maintenance
• Setting up the studio at the beginning and end of the day
• Good working knowledge of Gmail, Google Suite, Slack, and Microsoft Office
• A problem-solving and can-do attitude
• The ability to work independently as well as in a team
• Ability to use initiative and common sense to work things out
• Strong planning and organisational skills
• Excellent communication skills using tech but also face to face
• An outgoing personality with a great sense of humour (this one’s vital)
• Working with our Studio Runner (TBC)
