Summary

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.

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, researching solutions, learning new skills, and helping keep multiple projects organized and moving forward. 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. If you enjoy variety, taking ownership, and continuously learning, this could be a great long-term opportunity for you. **Responsibilities** Your responsibilities may include: - Business: Recruiting, interviewing, and coordinating freelancers. Following up on projects and ensuring deadlines are met. Researching products, suppliers, and services. Organizing documents, spreadsheets, and information. Writing and replying to emails in English. Reviewing simple English documents. Creating presentations, documents, and other materials when needed. Helping organize and improve internal processes. Conducting research for new business ideas and opportunities. Performing other administrative and operational tasks as needed. - Personal: From time to time, you'll also assist with personal responsibilities, such as: Scheduling medical appointments and other personal commitments. Researching products and services for my family. Comparing prices and requesting quotes. Researching materials and suppliers for my home construction project. Organizing travel arrangements and reservations. Helping manage my calendar and personal priorities. Handling various day-to-day personal tasks as needed. **Requirements** Strong written English (reading and writing are essential). Excellent organizational skills. Strong written communication. Ability to learn new tools quickly. Excellent online research skills. High attention to detail. Reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. Strong problem-solving mindset. **Nice to Have** Previous experience as a Virtual Assistant, Executive Assistant, Operations Assistant, or Project Coordinator. Google Workspace. Excel or Google Sheets. ChatGPT or other AI tools. Canva. CapCut or basic video editing. Experience with Notion, ClickUp, Trello, Asana, or similar project management tools. 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. If you're someone who enjoys learning, taking ownership, and working on a wide variety of interesting business and personal projects, we'd love to hear from you.
