The ideal candidate is someone who enjoys variety, takes initiative, learns quickly and can confidently move between administrative tasks, marketing projects, client communication and assisting with new business ventures.

The Role

As the Personal Assistant & Marketing Lead to the Founder, you will become an important part of the Founder’s day-to-day operations and will work directly with him to keep projects, priorities and businesses moving forward.

You will assist across various ventures, with responsibilities ranging from personal and business administration to marketing, content creation, client communication and project coordination.

• Comfortable working directly with a Founder and senior decision-maker.

• Proficient in Canva, CapCut and social media platforms.

• Exposure to multiple businesses, industries and entrepreneurial ventures.

• A modern, professional and supportive working environment.
• A varied role where no two days are necessarily the same.
• The opportunity to grow into a senior operational, marketing or management position as the businesses expand.
• The opportunity to play a meaningful role in building and scaling growing businesses.

This role is ideal for someone who wants more than a traditional office job.

You will be working closely with an entrepreneur who is actively building and growing multiple businesses and ventures. You will gain first-hand exposure to how businesses are developed, marketed, operated and scaled.

If you are ambitious, organised, creative and excited by the idea of being involved in multiple businesses and projects, this could be an excellent opportunity to grow alongside the Founder and his ventures.
