  • 4. Systems Implementation & Automation
    Assist in establishing and  managing systems such as:

  • JotForm for team processes
  • Quarterly performance review tracking
  • Identifying simple automation opportunities
  • Continuously improving workflows and efficiencies

  • 5. Data & File System Organisation
    Maintain structured and efficient digital filing systems (Google Drive / Dropbox), ensuring all documents are easy to locate and consistently organised.


    6. Project Coordination & Internal Communication
    Coordinate internal projects and communicate with the team via VOIP calls, ensuring tasks are completed and deadlines are met.
    Client communication will be email-based only.


    Ideal Candidate Attributes
  • Highly process-driven and structured in their approach
  • Strong systems thinker who looks for efficiencies and automation
  • Obsessive organiser who enjoys clean systems and clarity
  • Confident communicator with the ability to engage with internal teams
  • Proactive, reliable, and solution-focused

  • Technical Skills & Requirements
  • Advanced proficiency in Google Workspace or Microsoft 365
  • Minimum 3+ years of experience in a Virtual Assistant, Executive Assistant, or Operations role

  • Experience in developing and documenting SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) to enhance efficiency and consistency
