Personal & Executive Assistant

About the Role

The client runs her own app development studio and is currently a lean team of one. She's looking for a Personal & Executive Assistant to take routine scheduling, communication, and life-admin tasks off her plate - with the flexibility to shift further toward personal support later this year if she transitions into a corporate role. The right candidate is comfortable moving between business and personal tasks and doesn't need heavy hand-holding to figure out logistics.

Core Responsibilities

Scheduling & Communication

- Manage calendar and scheduling across business and personal commitments

- Light inbox support and email management (low volume - no heavy customer-facing inbox)

- Occasionally liaise with third parties on Amy's behalf (text/call/WhatsApp) when given access

Travel & Events

- Book and coordinate travel - flights, accommodation - for both business and personal trips

- Handle restaurant bookings and event/appointment coordination

Personal Support

- Book doctor's appointments, gym sessions, and other personal errands

- Handle groceries and other day-to-day logistics as needed

- Remind about and help source gifts for important dates

Ad Hoc / Research

- Light research to help Amy stay on top of industry/market developments

- Pull together options and information to support her decision-making

Social Media (Light Touch)

- Surface-level support only - scheduling/posting content, basic captions, occasional DM replies

- Not a core specialist requirement - no dedicated social media management expected

Not Required for This Role

- Finance, bookkeeping, or invoicing

- Vendor management or vendor research

- Specialist/strategic social media management

Ideal Candidate

- 3-4+ years of experience as an EA/PA or similar

- Comfortable supporting both business and personal tasks, and open to that balance shifting over time

- Based in South Africa or the Philippines

- Proficient with Google Workspace

- Trustworthy, discreet, and comfortable with shared account access under an NDA

- Self-sufficient - able to research and propose options rather than needing detailed instructions
