Personal Assistant

Here at innocent, we’re on a mission to make it easier for everyone to get more fruit and veg into their bodies. We started back in 1999 and since then we’ve gone from selling a few smoothies at a music festival to becoming one of Europe’s biggest drinks companies with around 1,000 people (and the B Corp seal of approval).

It’s nice to be able to say things like that but we’re not patting ourselves on the back just yet. We want to show everyone that it’s possible to be a successful business while looking after people and the planet too, so we’re trying to get better in pretty much every way. And that’s where this job comes in.

Keeping a business moving takes more than great ideas. It takes someone behind the scenes making sure the right people are in the right place, with the right information, at the right time.
 
We're looking for a brilliant Personal Assistant (PA) to support three of our UK-based Directors: our Go-To-Market Director, Marketing & Innovation Director and People & Culture Director. You'll be the person helping bring a bit of calm to busy diaries, keeping priorities moving and making sure important things don't fall through the cracks.
 
This role sits right at the heart of innocent. You'll work across different teams, build relationships with people throughout the business and help make sure our leaders can focus on the things that matter most.
You'll be

• Keeping three busy and fast-moving diaries running smoothly
• Coordinating meetings, agendas and follow-up actions so nothing gets lost along the way
• Organising travel, logistics and schedules across different locations and time zones
• Keeping projects, priorities and key actions moving forward
• Supporting team events, visitors and the occasional unexpected request
• Spotting ways to make processes simpler, smoother and more effective
• Building great relationships with people across the business and beyond
• Being a dependable point of contact who helps things happen

You'll have

• Strong experience supporting senior leaders in a fast-paced environment
• Excellent calendar and schedule management skills
• Confidence juggling multiple priorities and changing plans
• Great judgement, attention to detail and discretion
• Strong communication skills and the ability to work with stakeholders at all levels
• A proactive approach, with a habit of solving problems before they become problems

You'll get

• A front-row seat to how key decisions are made across the business
• The chance to work closely with our Directors and senior leaders every day
• Exposure to teams across Go-To-Market, Marketing & Innovation and People & Culture
• Plenty of variety, from strategic priorities to the occasional curveball
• Opportunities to improve ways of working and see your ideas put into practice
• A role that gives you a real understanding of how all the different parts of innocent fit together and move forward together

We want innocent to be a great place to work, so we do lots of stuff to make people feel at home and try to make sure everyone’s career is shaping up the way they want it to. There are plenty of opportunities to have a go at something new or take things further.

In exchange for helping us do business in the right way, you’ll get a solid rewards package that includes a salary (phew), private healthcare, a target-based bonus, and a bunch of other nice things like a day off on your birthday. And yes, you get free smoothies.

We also know that not all our drinkers come from the same background, or think the same – so why should we? At innocent, we want to be a great place to work where a diverse bunch of people from all backgrounds can turn up and thrive. When we hire, we want all the juice, bits, and pulp that make you who you are.

Even if you don’t think you can tick all the boxes, if the job sounds right for you, come and throw your hat in the ring.

Probably best to get your skates on though, as we might close this early if we get loads of applications.
