Are you a detail-oriented, organized, and proactive professional? Join YouGov’s growing custom research team as a Senior Administrative Assistant, where you’ll play a key role in supporting sales, communication, and administrative functions for a dynamic and fast-paced team.

- Coordinate onboarding for new hires, collaborating with HR and IT.
- Organize team activities and the annual off-site retreat to foster team bonding and engagement.
These are the essentials you’ll need to get an interview:
- Proven ability to work with precision and maintain excellent organizational standards.
- Experience managing administrative or operational tasks in a fast-paced environment.
- Exceptional attention to detail and a proactive mindset.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills.
It would be great if you had these, but we’ll support you if you don’t:
- Proficiency in Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint).
- Experience with Google Docs and Google Sheets.
- Familiarity with collaboration tools such as Slack and Trello.
- A team player who thrives in a collaborative, high-performing environment.
