Artist campaigns, packed calendars, moving invoices, last-minute requests, half-finished thoughts. All of this requires a tight ship to be run. 

As our Executive Assistant, you’ll be running a system to make sure all of the above runs smoothly and as efficiently as possible for the wider team. 

You’ll support the leadership team across company operations, finance admin, diary management, office organisation and day-to-day logistics. This is an operational role at the centre of the business. You'll own the manual, reactive work that keeps everything moving, so the central team can stay focused on theirs.

This is not a content role, a social media role, or a way into the creative team. It's for someone who actually enjoys operations and making things run properly.  In short,  spreadsheets give you life.

Who Are You?

Educated to degree level (preferred in a relevant field).

An undergraduate degree in Business Administration, Business Management, Operations or a closely related field is preferred. The grounding matters. We want someone who has already studied how organisations actually run.

Experienced in a similar role.

You’ve done this kind of work before. You’ve supported a leadership team, run a calendar, owned the trackers, and learned the rhythm of operational work in a fast-moving environment. 

Organised to an unusual degree.

You get genuine satisfaction from a well-maintained tracker, a tidy inbox, and a room that’s been set up before anyone even has to ask.

A natural at managing people and priorities.

You’re comfortable working across different styles, personalities and levels of urgency without needing constant hand-holding.

Calm under reactive pressure.

Things move quickly here. You’re discreet, reliable and level-headed enough to keep moving with them.

Digitally native and tech-literate.

You're not a developer, but you've already worked out how to use automations to make your own life easier. You'll do the same for us.

Confident with numbers.

You’re comfortable working with figures day to day. Reconciling invoices, spotting errors in a tracker, sense-checking a total, keeping budgets and payment records tidy. Numbers don't intimidate you, and you take care to get them right.

Fluent in the essentials.

Strong Google Workspace skills are essential, especially in Sheets. You're comfortable with formulas, filters, and building trackers that work properly. Experience with Xero and Mailchimp is a bonus. Being quick with new tools matters more.

Industry-curious.

You're interested in music and culture, and you've got enough context to spot the details.

Operations-oriented by choice.

This matters most: you want to build a career in operations. You're here for the role itself, not as a way into content or socials, but you still have somewhat of an understanding for music and the industry. 

What’s in it for You?

• Salary: £26,000–£30,000 depending on experience.
• Unlimited Annual Leave: With tracking and support to ensure a minimum of 28 days per year.
• Generous Pension Contributions: 2:1 employer match on pension contributions.
• Career Progression: A clear development path, with scope to grow into an Operations or Business Manager function as the company scales.
• Hybrid Working: Two days in the office per week, based in East London, with the option to work remotely.
• Vibrant Work Culture: Collaborate with like-minded peers who prioritise creativity and a balanced work-play environment.

Who Are We?

Something Something is the digital native led content strategy studio. We believe the voices we love deserve to be heard clearly.

We work directly with music artists and cultural brands to tell their stories online. We’re as tuned in to the high frequency of online trends as we are to the tectonic shifts reshaping the industry. We do our best to move at the speed things actually happen.

We're a music company first. A team built of passionate, like-minded, young creatives. Worldbuilding and storytelling are our metrics. Like counts come second. We believe digital tools and social platforms exist to help artists build worlds and invite fans in. Not to flatten them into something they’re not.

Now What?

Send an email to hello@somethingsomething.social with the subject “JOB APPLICATION: Executive Assistant”.

We’d also love you to include a story that shows us why you’re perfect for this role. Not a corporate cover letter answer, a real example. A moment where you organised the chaos, spotted the thing everyone else missed, kept people moving, or quietly made something much harder feel much easier.

This role is about judgement, organisation, follow-through and strong operational instincts. If that sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you.
