Virtual Personal Assistant & Content Creator

Job description

We’re looking for a highly organised, socially savvy Virtual Personal Assistant to support a busy founder, author, and international keynote speaker. Experience from advertising, marketing, communications, or sustainability is a strong plus.

This is a hybrid role combining personal assistant support and content creation, and PR-amplification. You’ll work closely with the founder to keep the business running smoothly and help grow a global personal brand across speaking, books, media, and social platforms.

This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a virtual role, enjoys working closely with a founder, likes variety, works fast and independently, and cares about ideas, impact, and storytelling - particularly within marketing, sustainability, and leadership.

Success in this role means the founder’s day runs smoothly, opportunities don’t fall through the cracks, and the brand shows up consistently and professionally across channels.

This is a full-time remote role with the opportunity to grow - and truly make a difference.
