Senior Executive Assistant

Who are Salt and Pinch:

We didn’t set out to build an award-winning experiential agency. We set out to build a world-class agency culture.  

Where leadership is present and approachable and teams are given the space and support to explore, grow, and stretch creative limits.

Salt and Pinch were founded as two separate agencies - One production, one creative.

Seamlessly connected and fiercely independent. Each focused on its own core discipline.

Each invested in the other’s craft. Each driven to create the unimaginable.

People first, process obsessed, relentless creativity is our foundation. And it’s what the most engaging and ambitious brand experiences are built upon.

Salt is looking for a Senior Executive Assistant and Office Lead to support our leadership team. This role goes beyond traditional EA support. We need someone who can anticipate needs, exercise independent judgment, and own outcomes, not just tasks. A genuine interest in Marketing, Experiential, and Live Events is essential. This is a demanding, fast-moving role for someone who takes initiative without being asked twice.
