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. In this role, you’ll collaborate directly with two Senior Vice Presidents (SVPs), ensuring smooth operations, clear communication, and efficient processes.

Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll do (not all of it, just the important stuff):

• Support the sales team by transforming sales proposals into clear and actionable statements of work or contracts.
• Track and organize contract details, pulling information from internal systems as needed.
• Develop and maintain an organized system for tracking contract status and purchase orders (POs).
• Fulfill requests for team reporting and information for senior leadership.
• Create a system to translate sales contract information into useable data for cross-functional teams.
• Organize and centralize project materials for easy access and collaboration.
• Manage team calendars, including individual schedules for SVPs, cross-functional leadership meetings, and recurring team sessions.
• 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.

• 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.
