Job description

Personal & Executive Assistant at Assist World

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
