Executive Assistant To The Director & Communications Officer

Pitzhanger Manor & Gallery Trust is looking for a talented and ambitious person to provide support to the Director at Sir John Soane's Pitzhanger Manor, and develop skills in communications and managing a range of projects across the organisation. Ideal for a recent graduate or someone with three years' work experience who is interested in a career in arts, heritage or general management. If you are someone who wants the chance to work in a flexible and dynamic team with great potential to make a real difference, and if you are someone who would find it interesting to get a grounding in how to navigate the range of challenges that face arts organisations, please get in touch. The chosen candidate will get a real variety of experience, particularly in managing key contacts of the Trust, business development, communications, governance, events and project management.

The Pitzhanger team is small with very high ambitions: it is passionate about heritage and the arts and developing Pitzhanger into a thriving venue that has positive impact within its communities. This role will act as right-hand support to the Trust's Director in all of her activities, getting involved in strategy, business, practical and administrative matters. They will support the communications operation, reporting to the Communications Manager, playing a pivotal role across marketing and digital communications to develop Pitzhanger's audiences and reach. The successful candidate will have the opportunity to build a range of skills through on-the-job training: they will get high level exposure to the management of Pitzhanger and learn all aspects of the operation of an arts organisation. Once trained, they will oversee their own projects.
