About us
Jigsaw is the leading design tool for the professional services industry (legal, accountancy and financial institutions). Think Figma or Canva but for lawyers and accountants. It transforms the complicated ideas often encountered in these industries into easy, quick and visually impactful business diagrams. From corporate structure charts and step plans to organisation charts and privacy and data flows, Jigsaw allows its users to quickly create, manipulate and present a variety of beautiful, data-rich diagrams.
Jigsaw was founded by two ex-city professionals who trained at top UK and US global law firms. This is their second joint venture; their first was acquired by a US private equity firm and went on to become a billion-dollar company and a household name in law firms across the world.
Although building for some of the biggest names in the professional services world, our company culture is anything but corporate. Ambitious people that want to collaborate on interesting challenges and have a lot of fun whilst doing it will thrive here!
About the role
We’re looking for a personal assistant to work in partnership with one of our Founders and Co-CEO, Travis Leon primarily on his non-office activities. This is a perfect opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety of tasks, rapid pace and complex troubleshooting that comes from working with an entrepreneur. When done successfully, this high impact role is all about enablement. We need you to be thinking several steps ahead to remove obstacles and free up capacity so Travis can be focused on business critical activities. You’ll need to be adept at juggling multiple time sensitive tasks simultaneously, and clearly communicate the status of requests without dragging Travis into the details.
About Travis
Travis is a founder that still plays a very active role in sales, constantly meeting clients on behalf of the company. He has previously built and sold successful businesses, so this isn’t his first venture.
Travis leads a very active lifestyle with frequent travel and social engagements. As a single man without family commitments these can sometimes be last minute arrangements and so he is looking for someone that is responsive, learns quickly and feels comfortable making suggestions to help bring structure and planning into his life. Due to international travel, this may mean occasionally (but not regularly) being on call outside of normal 9-5 hours.
