Job Description

Job Purpose
We are looking for a highly motivated, entrepreneurial-minded Personal (Business) Assistant to support a young and fast-paced entrepreneur. This role is crucial in freeing up the founder's time by taking over routine and strategic operational tasks. This is not a typical assistant job—you'll work closely with the founder on multiple aspects of the business, from operations to client communications to market research, with the opportunity to grow into a CEO or Managing Partner of a new venture within 1–2 years.

Responsibilities

  • Take ownership of daily operational and administrative tasks to reduce the founder’s workload.
  • Assist in client communications, sales negotiations, and internal project management.
  • Conduct market and competitor analysis, and prepare reports and presentations.

  • Search for information independently and offer solutions to non-standard problems.
  • Support the execution of startup-related tasks – from research to contacting partners.
  • Help organize, automate, and streamline processes using AI tools or digital services.
  • Participate in and sometimes lead meetings, document outcomes, and ensure follow-ups.
  • Manage time-sensitive tasks in a high-pressure, dynamic environment.

Requirements

  • Must-Have Skills and Qualities
  • Fluent English (written and spoken) – non-negotiable.
  • Strong organization, multitasking, and time-management abilities.
  • Demonstrated experience in sales, negotiation, or client engagement.
  • High analytical ability; able to process and summarize large volumes of information.
  • Proficiency in Google Workspace / MS Office (Excel, Docs, Slides/PowerPoint).
  • High self-motivation, initiative, and independent problem-solving.
  • A genuine interest in entrepreneurship, startups, and tech innovation.


Challenge of the role

  • High-speed decision-making and frequent changes in direction.
  • Overload of diverse tasks and tight deadlines.
  • Need for constant learning and extreme flexibility.
  • Must be willing to absorb knowledge and instructions very quickly.
  • Must be available for extended hours, when needed.
