About the job

Our Mission

We are not looking for a conventional 9-to-5 administrative role. Instead, we seek a close-proximity support professional for a dynamic operator engaged in growth, mergers and acquisitions, and advisory services. We need a true "force multiplier", a high-caliber individual who thrives in a fast-paced environment where strategic thinking is as important as execution.

Compensation & Growth Opportunities

  • Competitive Salary: Starting compensation reflective of a high-level support role, with potential increases as the role evolves.
  • Remote Independence: Full autonomy to manage your own schedule and workflow without micro-management.
  • Path to Advancement: This role is dynamic; the right candidate will take on increased responsibilities and enjoy greater rewards as the business expands.
  • Modern Tools: Engage with and master cutting-edge AI tools and automated systems.

Who You Are

  • Loyal and Discreet: Trusted with sensitive business information; your discretion is paramount.
  • Self-Motivated: You manage your day and prioritize tasks intelligently without needing oversight.
  • Exceptional Communicator: Your proficiency in written and spoken English is outstanding, allowing you to liaise effectively with founders and executives.
  • Composed Under Pressure: You navigate shifting priorities with ease and flourish in a structured yet dynamic environment.
  • Tech-Savvy: You are eager to learn about and utilize AI tools, automations, and contemporary workflows.

Technical Skills

  • Google Workspace & Microsoft 365: Proficient in Gmail, Calendar, Drive, Word, and Excel.
  • CRM Experience: Familiarity with GoHighLevel (GHL) or a quick learning ability for contact management systems.
  • AI Tools: Required proficiency with tools like ChatGPT, Claude, or similar.
  • Logistical Coordination: Confidence in managing multi-timezone logistics and using platforms like Slack and Zoom.

Key Responsibilities

Quickly familiarize yourself with the business, ask insightful questions, and take ownership of the following:

  • Strategic Inbox Management: Organizing and responding to emails to ensure the Principal focuses only on critical matters.
  • Operational Liaison: Managing communications with vendors, solicitors, and accountants on behalf of the Principal.
  • Sales Support: Qualifying potential clients, scheduling discovery calls, and following up on leads to maintain an active pipeline.
