Worldwide
We are looking for a highly organized, proactive, and trustworthy Executive & Personal Assistant to become my right hand, supporting both our businesses and occasional personal responsibilities.

You'll work directly with us across different businesses and projects. One day you might be recruiting freelancers for an international project, and the next you could be researching suppliers for a home construction project, comparing products, organizing travel, or following up on important deadlines.

Researching products and services for my family. Comparing prices and requesting quotes. Researching materials and suppliers for my home construction project.

Previous experience working remotely. **What We're Looking For** We're much more interested in finding the right person than someone with years of experience. The ideal candidate: Is eager to learn. Is naturally curious and proactive. Can work independently. Knows when to ask thoughtful questions. Enjoys organizing information and improving processes. Likes solving problems rather than simply completing tasks. Is looking for a long-term opportunity to grow. #Position Details 100% remote. Flexible schedule. Approximately 20 hours per week to start, with the possibility of increasing hours over time. Hourly pay. Long-term opportunity with room for growth and increased responsibility. #Hiring Process Shortlisted candidates will complete a paid practical assessment designed to evaluate organization, communication, research skills, and problem-solving ability.
