Junior Assistant / Travel Logistics

As a recruiter, you're not supposed to have "favourite clients", but when my phone rang this week, I won't lie, there was a small smile on my face.

Based in West London, you'll work alongside an Executive Assistant who is genuinely one of the best in London and a Chief of Staff who will teach you more in a week than most people learn in a year. Your title? Travel Logistics Coordinator. Which probably leaves you thinking: what the hell is that?

Let me explain. And let me be honest about what this actually involves.

The job in ten seconds:

You'll coordinate travel, transport, accommodation, and logistics for a globally recognised individual and his team.

Ground transport. Aviation. Events. Last-minute changes. This is operational excellence at the highest-level sport and business has to offer.

What this actually is:

This isn't glamorous. It's spreadsheets, phone calls, contingency plans, and making sure nothing falls through. You'll liaise with drivers, security, venues, hotels, aviation teams, and assistants, often simultaneously, often across time zones, often at speed.

But here's what makes it different.

You'll be inside one of the most elite operations in the world. You'll see how things work when there's zero margin for error. You'll work with people who are exceptional at what they do, and who will make you exceptional too.

The EA you'll support? One of the best I've ever placed. The Chief of Staff? The kind of operator who builds careers just by letting you watch how they work.

What you'll do:

• Book and coordinate ground transport, flights, accommodation, arrivals, and departures
• Build detailed travel and event itineraries
• Manage logistics for meetings, appearances, race weekends, and off-site commitments
• Research costs and keep things efficient
• Coordinate travel and scheduling for the wider team
• Liaise with drivers, security, venues, vendors, hotels, aviation, whoever needs handling
• Monitor timelines, routes, contingencies, and last-minute changes
• Keep accurate records of bookings, confirmations, contacts, and expenses

What you need:

• Based in London
• Minimum 12 months admin experience (non-negotiable)
• Discretion. Absolute discretion.
• Willingness to work outside standard hours. This isn't 9-5. It's not even close.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office
• Strong written and verbal English
• Obsessive attention to detail
• Valid passport and clean driving licence

Who we're looking for:

Someone junior who doesn't act junior.

You're organised, fast, calm under pressure, and you don't need to be told twice. You take ownership. You anticipate problems before they happen. You're not precious about the work. You just want to be brilliant at it.

You don't need to know anything about sport. You need to know how to get things done when the stakes are high and the timeline is tight.

The truth about this role:

The title isn't all that. The hours won't always be kind. You'll be deep in logistics while other people are at the events.

But you'll be part of something world-class. You'll learn from people who are the best at what they do. And you'll build skills, judgement, and a network that most people spend a decade trying to access.

Some people will read this and think it sounds hard.

The right person will read this and think it sounds like exactly what they've been waiting for.

If you've been looking for that chance to step up in your career to the big league, then this could be the opportunity you've been looking for.
