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
