Assistant Needed!

Looking for an assistant to our literary manager who’s an absolute pleasure to work for and with! He’s the type of boss who will take his assistant under his wing and really help them grow while being on his desk. He really cares about the work he does and the clients he has and is super creatively involved in both the managerial and producing arenas. Which, in turn, gives you the ability to be creatively involved as well. His desk is definitely more literary management-focused, but if you’re into development and producing, you will get a huge taste of that and after you’ve settled on the desk, there’s a ton of room to get as involved as you’d like to be in that regard. Additionally, this position kinda doubles as office coordinator, but that doesn’t eat up much of your time at all. Please send all resumes toreception@mediatalent.com
