We’re Hiring! Executive Assistant (Freelance)
Women On Tap CIC is looking for a freelance Executive Assistant to work closely with the Executive Director, keeping the day-to-day running of the organisation on track.
This role has come about as a number of new projects and initiatives move from funded to development stage, and we need reliable support to help manage the increased operational load. It's a varied role covering admin, systems, comms and project support - ideal for someone organised, comfortable working independently, and happy switching between spreadsheets, social media and sponsor-facing materials. Initially 2 days a month, with scope to grow as the organisation does.
Role details
Contract: Freelance, 6 months initially (September 2026 - March 2027) with potential to extend
Time commitment: 2 days per month (flexible, although one day every other week or half a day a week would be preferred.)
Rate: £200/day
Location: Remote
Reporting to: Executive Director
About us
Women On Tap CIC is a social enterprise championing gender equity in the beer industry. We're a Community Interest Company and certified social enterprise, supported by a voluntary Advisory Board, with all income spent on and reinvested back into our mission: a world where women thrive in all beer spaces - whether drinking it, brewing it, working in or leading the industry.
As we head into our 10th anniversary year, and with several newly funded projects moving into development, we're looking for a reliable Executive Assistant to help keep things running smoothly behind the scenes, freeing up the Executive Director to focus on strategic delivery.
It is recognised that at 2 days per month, time is very limited and we need to be realistic about what can be covered by this role. As this is a new appointment, we will work alongside the Executive Assistant to prioritise tasks and develop a realistic and achievable schedule and plan.
Below are the types of tasks this may include:
PA & general administration
Managing and maintaining the Beer Unlocked bursary scheme admin
Supporting Google Drive organisation and upkeep
Keeping sponsor packs current and easy to locate
Updating website content (Squarespace)
Maintaining the main dashboard of projects and contacts (Excel)
Managing email, calendar and calls/ meetings
Maintaining main monthly task lists
Communications
Social media activity upkeep using Canva and scheduling tools
Funder communications scheduling, planning and preparation
Advisory board communications
Sending sponsor packs and membership information, both proactively and on request
Project support
Supporting the next steps in the Beer Industry Diversity & Inclusion research project
Supporting development and dissemination of a sponsorship pack for the 10th anniversary programme
Supporting the launch and delivery of a new scheme (further detail shared at interview)
General admin support for a new digital service in development (further detail shared at interview)
Other tasks as required and agreed
What we're looking for
Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
Confident with spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets) and Google Drive
Comfortable managing email and calendar on someone else's behalf
Design skills in Canva or similar
Experience using Squarespace to maintain and develop websites
Experience with or willingness to learn social media scheduling
Able to work independently and flexibly, with minimal day-to-day supervision
Interest in or alignment with Women On Tap's mission is a plus
Many of these are skills that can be taught, so if you’re keen to learn don’t worry if you don’t already have everything listed.
**We will prioritise applications that demonstrate a connection to - or genuine interest in - the beer industry.
