- Executive Assistant
The Refinery is an award-winning entertainment advertising agency in Los Angeles, CA. We work with all of the major studios producing social, digital, and print creative campaigns for theatrical, television & streamer clients.
We are looking for candidates who embody our core values. Refiners are talented, kind, client-focused, ego-free, and passionate.

Enough about us, here’s what we’re looking for:
We are seeking an Executive Assistant supporting the CEO. This is an entry-level role for someone who is resourceful and comfortable figuring things out. You won't know everything on day one, and that's expected.
You'll need to be equally comfortable drafting a client gift note, running point on an e-blast, and keeping our CEO’s calendar from imploding. You will enjoy this role if you're the person who naturally notices what needs to happen next before anyone asks.
