This role drives operational momentum across global projects. Working directly with the founder and creative director, the position acts as the central administrative and logistical backbone, ensuring seamless coordination between clients, fabricators, consultants, and installation teams globally.

The workload requires flexibility around project deadlines, international travel & coordination, and installations. By maintaining clear daily communication, tracking milestones, and handling core operational details, this role enables creative leadership to focus on design and client relationships.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Project Coordination:

    Track international project schedules, milestones, and deliverables from concept to installation. Review and coordinate project contracts. Serve as the central communication link between clients, fabricators, consultants, and installation teams.

Maintain organised digital files, project documentation, and internal systems.

  • Executive Support:

    Coordinate international travel arrangements and visa applications for leadership. Maintain priority lists, schedule key meetings, prepare agendas, take meeting notes, and track action items to completion. Provide occasional administrative support for a small portfolio of properties located in South Africa and the US, including logging maintenance requests and tracking lease renewals.


Requirements


  • Prior experience in project management, events, logistics, production, or a creative studio environment.

  • Proven organisational and proactive problem-solving abilities within complex, multi-stakeholder environments.

  • Excellent verbal and written English communication skills suitable for international client and vendor coordination.

  • Demonstrated capability in working independently, managing multiple priorities, and maintaining accuracy under pressure.

  • Proficiency with project management software platforms (such as Asana, Monday.com, or ClickUp).

  • Cloud-based file management proficiency.

  • Familiarity with emerging AI tools (such as Gemini and ChatGPT).
