Administrative Assistant

<strong>About Us<br><br></strong>Pickle is a business enablement service. We provide fractional, embedded, human-led support across the functions that quietly keep growing businesses moving. EA and executive support, admin, customer support, operations, bookkeeping and HR.<br><br>We're not a recruitment agency, a consultancy or a software product. We sit in the gap between all three, and that gap is where the real work happens.<br><br>We work alongside founder and operator-led businesses at the moments when they need more capacity, more structure, or more support than they currently have. Our people embed into client businesses and take genuine ownership of the work. No task-ticking, no arm's-length delivery. Just real judgement and follow-through.<br><br>W<strong>hat it's like to work here<br><br></strong>We value autonomy and accountability. We are human-first in how we treat our clients, our candidates, and each other. We don't chase growth at the expense of quality, and we don't treat people like resources.<br><br>We are a small, growing team building something we genuinely believe in, and we are looking for people who want to be part of that.<br><br><strong>What We Care About<br><br></strong>Good work. Honest relationships. Doing things properly. We use technology and AI intentionally and we never let it replace the human judgement that actually makes the difference.
