If you’d love to learn more about the world of talent agenting within a small but ambitious team, explore this new opportunity with LARK.

LARK represents writers like Charlie Covell (THE END OF THE F**KING WORLD), Francesca Gardiner (SUCCESSION); Brett Goldstein (TED LASSO), and directors like Ali Abassi (THE LAST OF US; BORDER), Joanna Hogg (THE SOUVENIR) and Sebastian Lelio (THE WONDER). A list of their clients can be found here. The company’s partners are agents, Roxana Adle, Sophie Dolan, and Harriet Pennington Legh.

In this assistant role, you will support the team, bringing a highly organised approach to administrative needs – from diary management to monitoring news about clients – while developing your knowledge about the discipline of talent management.

Minimum of 1 years’ agency (or production company) experience is essential.

Responsibilities

  • Diary management for LARK directors, agent Sophie Dolan
  • Managing client diaries – booking meetings, organising travel, scheduling, liaising with other assistants and industry professionals etc.
  • Providing general administrative/operations support to a busy office: e.g., purchasing office equipment; printing & scanning documents; booking restaurants etc.
  • Providing administrative support in processing agent expenses and tracking invoicing (you will be taught how to do this, no prior knowledge necessary)
  • Updating client profiles and jobs on the internal software system (Tagmin)
  • Keeping track of all relevant client and industry news and communicating it internally
  • Assisting with social media posts
  • Reading scripts and providing feedback

What we are looking for

  • Previous administrative / diary management experience is essential.
  • An interest in the world of film and TV (someone who is interested in reading scripts, and eventually working with directors and writers).
  • The employer requires a candidate with the desire to learn, work hard and be ready to apply yourself to administrative tasks is crucial.
  • LARK run a very busy office, so you need to be ready to hit the ground running.
