• You'll work directly with the founder across multiple businesses, helping turn ideas into action, keeping projects moving, solving problems, and ensuring both business and personal priorities are executed effectively.

• Preparing presentations, reports, trackers, and internal documentation
• Providing administrative support across multiple businesses.
• Managing the founder's calendar, travel, appointments, reminders, and personal administrative tasks
• Solving problems proactively and stepping in wherever support is needed

• Highly organized and dependable
• Curious, resourceful, and proactive
• Comfortable switching between strategic thinking and hands-on execution
• An excellent communicator with strong attention to detail
• Able to manage multiple priorities without losing track of details
• Comfortable taking ownership rather than waiting for instructions
