Executive Assistant

WHO I AM

• Seb Von, 24, CEO & founder of Screw Loose (about to turn 25 this april) 
• Based in Bermondsey, London - grew up in London.
• Ex Yes Theory editor, worked with lots of creators as a storyteller / editor / director & founded Screw Loose June 2024 - now it’s grown to a 4 person team making out the box, viral, creative ads for some of the coolest & fastest growing brands in the world. 
• Creative, extremely ambitious, high-energy, big picture thinker
• Naturally struggle with organisation, memory, and managing multiple tasks simultaneously
• Nice guy, will always back those who consistently work hard & always put their best foot forward. Get frustrated at people if they’re disrespectful, lazy or slack. 
• I give lots of opportunities to people - everyone around me / those who work with me develop a lot as long as they’re good people! 
• Care a ton about standards & creating the best videos in the world - greatness is my goal.



HOW I COMMUNICATE

• Think and communicate in voice notes & text messages & of course in person / in calls.
• Need replies back as text so I can action them (not voice notes back) as one of the most important things is time saving from my side. 
• Casual and direct - no corporate fluff, I try to be considerate & phrase things nicely but sometimes i just get straight to the point, which I’m trying to do more. 
• Want things executed, not instructions given back to me
• I get frustrated if people don’t acknowledge or respond to my messages timely - this applies more so to people who work with me. 

Read the overview of this opportunity to understand what skills, including and relevant soft skills and software package proficiencies, are required.

HOW I WORK BEST

• Need someone to catch things falling through the cracks
• Need someone to completely take charge of all admin & organizational things in my life & business life - my life as a priority, then business secondary. 
• Bad at calendaring - things need to go in immediately or they're forgotten. I’ll probably send screenshots on whatsapp of times ive agreed to meet someone & then assistant puts into calendar. 
• Struggle to context-switch between creative and admin
• Work across multiple time zones (NY, London, Cape Town frequently)

SCREW LOOSE

• Gen-Z out the box creative advertising agency
• Only agency to have worked with MrBeast, Yes Theory, Simon Squibb, and Monte. Only agency to have worked with more tier 1 premium creators than anyone else
• Growing fast
• Have a beautiful pink office in Southwark with space for 6.
• Goal = become Gen-z’s most revered creative agency (imagine you’re at the pub & people talk about this sick ad or stunt they saw & somebody’s like - that must be a screw loose thing). 
• attitude: Be proactive, if you see something that could be better, fix it without waiting to be told.

PERSONAL

• Email:
• Mix of extroverted & introverted - get my energy from meeting awesome people, and people bring out the best in me - but also need time alone for a day or two after too much back to back time around everybody else.

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
