At Viaplay Group, we entertain millions of people every day through our streaming services, radio networks, TV channels, and studio operations. From live sports and films to music and our own original shows, our purpose is to tell stories, touch lives and expand worlds. We’re now launching our Viaplay streaming service in a wide range of new markets and aiming to become the international streaming challenger. As a purpose-driven company expanding internationally, we’re looking for the best people to join us on our journey.

Right now, we’re looking for a confident, proactive Executive Assistant to join our London office – are you ready to hit play on an exciting career change?

The position

You will be working as the “go to” support for the Chief Commercial Officers for the UK and US and Viaplay Select and also help coordinate initiatives across the UK Offices. Facing challenges and solving puzzles is just part of your day, so with the approach that no task is too small or too large, you’ll perform diversified and confidential administrative duties for the CCOs.

As you’ll know, the nature of this role requires in-person support, and you’ll be required in our London office during working hours.

Main tasks:

• Conduct a variety of administrative tasks including assisting with meeting coordination, completing expense reports, document and presentation preparation and minute-taking
• Assist the CCOs and their leadership team with a wide variety of projects and initiatives
• Screen contact and correspondence and resolve any inquiries
• Coordinate travel, ensuring accuracy of logistics at every step
• Run errands as necessary, with the ability to plan around various time-sensitive responsibilities
• Ensure company success by transparent reporting & communication, cross-product cooperation and acting in accordance with company values and regulations

What we are looking for

By far the most important thing here will be your focus and ability to deliver what is needed to the Executive, almost before they even need it. You will be one step ahead, always thinking, planning and consistently delivering.

To succeed in this role, you are dedicated to your work, the people you support, and you are always looking to do things more efficiently. As a natural self-starter with a pragmatic approach, you work proactively and collaborate well with people around you. If you come across something that needs fixing or support, you don’t hesitate to step in. You have a strong service mindset, a passion for admin and you thrive in a high-paced environment.

Successful candidates meet the following requirements:

• 3+ years' experience in an Executive Assistant role in a large office environment
• Ability to deal with multiple deadlines and tasks, having a great structure
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office suites, including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English

It’s a bonus if you have:

• Experience supporting C-level Executives.
• Media industry experience
• Multilingual skills
• A relevant university degree
