If you love a varied role and have incredible attention to detail, this may be the perfect opportunity for you to show off your organisation and communication skills gained in a busy administrative role. You’ll work across the HR and the Contracts Departments for the world’s leading publisher of illustrated books, Thames & Hudson.

We’re looking for someone with amazing administrative abilities and a penchant for accuracy. You will be liaising with our HR Advisors and external providers to coordinate interviews, induction and training, and you’ll be assisting our Contracts Manager by scanning and indexing contracts and maintaining the accuracy of the information in the Digital Contracts Database.

You’ll be providing general administrative support for the Contracts Department which may include drafting letters, issuing invoice requests and arranging meetings.

You’ll already have proven administrative experience gained in a busy office environment, and be keen to apply your database wrangling skills and impeccable talent for organising to a creative publishing context. Please note, this is not intended as a route to an Editorial role, rather we are looking for someone who is interested in HR and/or Contracts and is committed to providing a high level of administrative support to these departments.

• Previous experience of working in a busy Administrative role, with multiple incoming directives
• Intermediate working knowledge of MS Office, particularly Excel and Outlook

• Organised and self-motivated
• Trustworthy and discreet
• Ability to work well as a positive contributor to different teams
• Confidence and professionalism in communicating effectively with colleagues and external third parties
