EA & Office Manager (3 days a week)

About Fussy

Hey, good smelling! We’re Fussy… about everything - from our natural deodorants to our mission to banish single-use plastic from your bathroom. Having experienced exceptional growth over the past four years, we’re now looking for a brilliant EA & Office Manager 3 days per week to keep us running smoothly, connected and having fun along the way 💪🌍

You’ll report initially to Matt Kennedy (Founder & CEO), working closely with the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to make sure our office, operations and socials are as slick as our pits smell.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a fast-growing, purpose-driven scale-up through a major period of growth. You’ll be a trusted partner to the leadership team and a driving force behind our culture, helping Fussy stay connected, efficient and full of energy as we scale.

About the role

• Be the go-to support for our Executive team: managing diaries, travel, meeting prep and ensuring everything runs like clockwork.

• Keep the Fussy HQ running beautifully: from snacks to health & safety, you’ll make sure the office is organised, functional and aligned with our sustainability goals.

• Create a scalable plan for our office space as we grow including project managing seating plan changes, office refurbs and future office moves

• Support key meetings and governance: monthly investors updates, logistics, agendas, minutes, follow-ups and offsite planning.

• Lead our social & engagement agenda alongside our social committee: The Fusschief Makers, from fortnightly Thirsty Thursdays and quarterly celebrations to our annual Fussy Gives Back day, ensuring our culture stays inclusive, creative and unmistakably Fussy.

• Partner with the People team to embed rituals that make work feel good, like Better Breakfasts, lunch & learns, birthdays, show & tells...

• Manage the social and office budgets, track spend and make sure every penny delivers joy and impact.

• Help us grow sustainably by improving processes, driving efficiency and championing our B Corp commitment s.

About you

Great comes in lots of different forms, and we’re really open to seeing candidates from a range of backgrounds. Given the nature of this role and what we’ll ask of you, we do believe that the following skills are needed to be able to deliver to a high standard:

• Circa 3-4 years’ experience in an Executive Assistant or Office Management role, ideally in a growing, fast-paced company.

• Exceptional organisational skills - you anticipate needs before others do and thrive on making things happen.

• Strong communication and people skills - you love connecting, problem-solving and keeping the team buzzing.

• Comfortable juggling diaries, deadlines and decorations (sometimes all in the same hour).

• A creative streak and enthusiasm for socials - you know how to make gatherings fun and inclusive.

• A positive, flexible, can-do attitude - you roll up your sleeves and make stuff happen.

And anyone who has these skills too would likely be a super fit for this role, but these are by no means essential:

• Experience in a B Corp or social enterprise

• Event planning or budget management experience

• Proficiency with Google Workspace, Slack and Notion

This isn’t the right role for you if…

• You’d rather focus on strategy than rolling your sleeves up and making things happen

• You prefer to work solo, this role thrives on collaboration and connection

• You don’t enjoy fast-paced, ever-evolving environments - this is start-up life, after all!

What we offer 🤝

• A chance to play a part in banishing single-use plastic from the bathroom

• A salary of £38-48,000, depending on experience and pro-rated based on 3 days per week.

• Working pattern is Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays in our East London HQ at Zetland House

• Pro-rata 33 days annual leave, including flexible bank holidays + a day off for your birthday – we encourage you to take time off to switch off, rest and recharge.

• Our WellHub membership with a range of fitness & wellbeing options - we care about our team’s wellness, from physical to mental health

• Share options after probation, so that you can benefit from our growth

We as a brand have the responsibility, consumers have the power and it’s only together we can do this. Power to your pits!
