SUMMARY:

POSITION INFO:

ENVIRONMENT:

Our client is a small digital marketing consultancy who works with clients across South Africa and globally on paid media, analytics, marketing automation, UX and social media. They are looking for someone meticulous and dependable to work alongside the founders on the operational backbone of the business. This is a part-time (half-day) role, fully remote, with sensible flexibility on hours. You'll be the person they trust to get the details right, whether that's pulling together a competitor research summary, keeping a tracker accurate to the cent, or turning a messy collection of information into something the team can use. This is a role for someone with a long, settled career in bookkeeping, administration, office management or executive support, a professional who knows their worth, takes pride in clean and accurate work, and doesn't need to be managed.

DUTIES:

• Market and competitor research, structured web research, summarised cleanly
• Management and operational support for the founders, calendars, document prep, follow-ups, light project coordination
• Spreadsheets: building and maintaining trackers, schedules and reports in Google Sheets and Excel
• Data work: gathering, cleaning and organising information from various sources
• AI-assisted workflows: using tools like Claude and ChatGPT to make the work faster and easier. They will show you how; what they need is your willingness, not pre-existing expertise
• General admin: the small, important things that keep a business running smoothly
  
  

REQUIREMENTS:

• Have 15+ years of experience in admin, bookkeeping or a related field
• Be the kind of person who notices things, the typo, the missing line item, the inconsistency on row 47
• Be reliable, organised and self-directed, this is a remote role, and they trust you to run your own day
• Be confident in Google Sheets and Excel (formulas, formatting, basic data work)
• Be comfortable learning new tools, including AI, at your own pace, with our support
• Communicate clearly and considerately, in writing and on the occasional call
• Have a stable internet connection and a quiet space to work
