Business Support Coordinator

Job description

Who We Are

Insanity Group is a privately owned group of media companies operating from offices in London and Los Angeles. We represent top tier artists in the music, broadcast, live and ‘digital first’ markets; and operate a record label with Sony Music.

There’s something different about us and when people join us, it's the first thing they comment on. We do things differently and it’s not accidental. Some of our most successful colleagues started with us as an assistant. Some have been with us for well over 10 years! Our people are at the heart of our success. We have developed a strong culture of collaboration and best practice, with professional development and career planning at its centre. We invest in our colleagues with support, coaching and top-quality training delivered at every level. All of our colleagues enjoy paid mental health support and comprehensive private medical insurance from day 1 on the job, as well as regular team socials and away days.

Our role is to empower our clients to tell their stories and our talent are at the heart of every decision we make. We break down barriers not afraid of challenge. We embrace tech, we embrace flexibility, and we collaborate. We are not afraid of risk, and we make bold decisions. We believe that building deep professional connections is the best way to do business, but we also believe that clients need to be protected and we aren’t afraid to do that either.

We also believe that the role of artist manager, record label and agent is changing. Our clients rightly expect more and we love to impress. Our mission is to never get complacent, to lead the way and be a noisy, bold, ambitious and ethical business that continues to turn heads.


The Role

We are looking for someone who is willing to roll up their sleeves and get involved in what is a fast growing and busy business environment. This is a multi-faceted role, with a focus on operational and office support but with exposure to external communications and support with HR / People functions.

Core duties include keeping the office environment working seamlessly by dealing with phone calls, post, visitors, organising refreshments and meetings and generally being adaptable to support all areas of the business teams.

Additionally, we are looking for someone versatile enough to be able to support with external communications, such as social media posts and LinkedIN updates together with managing external relationships such as IT and landlord partners.

In a nutshell, this role is for someone who is obsessive about detail and organisation and who isn’t precious about getting stuck in. Confidence and communication skills are essential as the successful candidate will be communicating with colleagues and stakeholders across the business, including at Director level.

We are looking for an exceptional team player with the ability to work collaboratively in a close-knit team and the capacity to effectively work across various areas of our ever-expanding business. Insanity is a highly collaborative business, and the Business Affairs team works in close partnership with all departments and is essential in ensuring that our colleagues and clients fulfill their creative and business goals.
