Job Description

Finance And Studio Manager (Part-time)What we do:

Burgess Studio is a design agency based in London, specialising in whisky. We work with most of the great Scotch distilleries, and in the highly specialised area of old and rare whiskies we are the number one agency worldwide. Our focus is high-value releases and brands.

Part-time Finance and Studio Manager:

We are looking for an experienced Finance and Studio Manager to join our busy, multi-disciplinary design studio based in east London. The role is part time and studio based and would suit a self-starter with strong book keeping/account management skills, and office management experience.

What is the studio like?

Busy, hardworking, hopefully enjoyable. We are a small group working on a lot of different projects at the same time. Everybody works from the studio (there is no working from home) which is a good thing if you want to progress fast, as there are always people around to ask for help. It's a team rather than a corporate structure.

Job details:

The job is studio based, part-time. We are looking to employ someone for 16-20 hrs per week across 4 days, Monday to Thursday. The role would suit someone with other commitments (e.g. childcare) as we can facilitate a shorter day; we are open to discussing a schedule that works for both parties. The position is permanent. You will start on a fully paid three month trial.

Please include a short cover letter with your application outlining how your experience is relevant for the role.

Job Type: Part-time

Expected hours: 16 - 20 per week

Application question(s):

Are you aware that there are two parts to this role: bookkeeping experience and office management experience and that we cannot therefore consider any applicants without both these skill sets? This is a part time role which is studio based. Is this what you want?
