Executive assistant (to founder)

WE'RE HIRING: EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT (EA)


📍 Leeds | Full-time | Competitive Salary (Up to £40,000 per annum based on experience) + Benefits


We’re looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to work directly with both the Founder and Managing Director of GET BAKED.


You will be at the centre of the business — helping organise, prioritise, and execute across everything from product launches and content shoots to supplier conversations, internal projects, and general chaos management.


You’ll work most closely with the Founder (day-to-day), while also supporting the MD on key operational and strategic priorities. If you like structure, predictability, and a quiet life — this is not for you. If you like fast-moving, slightly chaotic, high-growth environments where no two days look the same — you’ll thrive.


What You’ll Be Doing:


Founder Support (Primary Focus)

• Managing an ever-changing diary, ensuring time is used properly (and not wasted)

• Acting as a gatekeeper — filtering noise, prioritising what matters

• Supporting with content planning, filming days, and creative projects

• Organising meetings, site visits, and external collaborations

• Keeping projects moving — chasing people, following up, making things happen

• Turning ideas into action (and occasionally telling the Founder “no”)


MD Support (Secondary)

• Assisting with scheduling, meetings, and internal coordination

• Supporting key business projects and deadlines

• Helping keep operational priorities on track


General Business Support

• Coordinating across teams (bakery, stores, warehouse, media)

• Supporting launches, campaigns, and internal initiatives

• Handling sensitive information with total discretion

• Bringing order to fast-moving, messy situations


What We’re Looking For:


• Highly organised — borderline obsessive about it

• Calm under pressure (even when everything is on fire)

• Excellent communicator — clear, direct, and confident

• Proactive — you don’t wait to be told what to do

• Commercially aware — you understand what matters in a growing business

• Thick-skinned — able to handle direct feedback and fast pace

• Trustworthy — you’ll be exposed to everything


Bonus points if you:

• Have worked in a high-growth startup or founder-led business

• Have experience supporting a founder or senior leadership team

• Understand content, social media, or creative production environments


What This Role Is (and Isn’t):


This is:

• A high-impact role with real responsibility

• A front-row seat to how a fast-growing brand operates

• An opportunity to grow quickly with the business


This isn’t:

• A passive admin job

• A 9–5 where you switch off completely

• A role for someone who needs constant direction


Why GET BAKED?


We’re not a typical bakery. We’re building a brand with a cult following, a strong point of view, and big ambitions. You’ll be working directly with the people driving that — not sitting on the sidelines.


Salary & Benefits:


• Competitive salary (based on experience - up to £40,000 per annum)

• Staff perks (50% off all products in store and online)

• Opportunity to grow with the business


Qualifications and Experience:

Minimum of at least 5 years experience in a similar role acting as an EA or PA for a growing business is essential — please don’t apply if you don’t fit this criteria. Positive references will also be sought and be necessary to be successful in the role.
