Executive Assistant (South Africa) at Greenbox Storage

About Greenbox Storage

Our company provides a pickup and delivery summer storage service for college students across the United States.

At the end of the spring semester, we pick up our clients' belongings, store their items over the summer, then deliver their things when they're back on campus the next fall.

A Note From The CEO

Greenbox Storage is a 4 year old company that has experienced rapid growth since inception. We are not a corporation that has been around for 50+ years where you go into the office every day and get bored. We don't have everything figured out. We are a young and fast-moving startup.

We are constantly evolving and changing and you need to be comfortable in a startup environment to be a fit for this role. Some people like that environment, others don't. If you want the opportunity to have a major impact on your company from Day 1, this job will be a good fit for you. We anticipate growing all of our departments as our company grows and we want you to grow with us.

IMPORTANT: This role will be handpicked by the CEO. As our company grows, we need to hire more people in management positions. The person we hire for this position will be on fast-track for growth within the company. Our new hire will learn the ins and outs of the business from our CEO. We have extremely high expectations for this position.

-Collin Rutherford, CEO
