Company: Kinetic - UK's no 1 specialist, out of home media planning & buying agency

 

Location: Primarily Clerkenwell Green, (short walk from Farringdon station) and really easy to commute from Peckham Rye area by train or bus

 

Salary: up to £32k for 4 days p/w

 

About the role:

This is an incredibly important role within the agency because it has an impact on everyone – from the most experienced of the Leadership Team to the youngest Team Assistant - and in every imaginable way. You are directly responsible for helping make everyone’s working experience smooth, efficient and even enjoyable. That also makes it incredibly rewarding – it makes a difference to people all the time, every day.

 

Purpose of the role:

This is a role that has 3 areas of responsibility:

1. PA to Leadership Team (comprising of 4) and Global COO (45% of time)

2. Office management – the lynchpin to the smooth running of the office, helping everyone and anyone with anything (40% of time)

3. Events management – on going support of the Social Committee (volunteers) and all formal agency events (15% of time)

 

We think you’d enjoy this role if you have:

= Positive disposition – we love ‘radiators’ at Kinetic

= Bags of common sense - motivated to find solutions to problems

= Highly organised – every element of this role depends on this

= Good communicator – written and spoken

= Anticipator– to support the Leadership Team, you need to be one step ahead of them and their diaries, organising travel, doing their expenses, arranging meetings and catering, minuting Weekly Sales Meeting, essentially their ‘right hand person’

= Responsive – organising and solving on-going needs of the office and its people – from pass cards, to working with the main reception and security, liaising with our building management and our 3rd party facilities company (cleaning and maintenance); overseeing fire regulations and Health & Safety, kitchen management (weekly food order, coffee machine etc), key point of contact for IT support (incl photocopiers), helping with AV equipment, managing our hot desk diary for media owners, lockers, stationery, and everything else in between!

= Strong on detail – especially regarding events - some will be in partnership with the Social Committee and some will be stand-alone Kinetic events but the buck stops here, managing every detail – from invitations to diary management, seeking budget approval, sourcing food/drink/catering, equipment, host on the day, layout and even a bit of clear up.

 

Requirements:

• This role is a 4 day per week role – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday

• This role requires you to be in the office (The Buckley Building, Clerkenwell Green, London EC1R 0EB) every Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday

    • The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......  
    • Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.
    • Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.   
    • @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
