ā— Support internal teams by ensuring client-related workflows are organized

ā— Act as a backend support layer for customer operations (non-client-facing)

ā— Ensure internal team members have the information, files, and updates they need

ā— Maintain task trackers and follow-ups related to client operations


3. Executive Assistant Support (Approx. 30–35%)

ā— Manage inbox and calendar for the founder

ā— Track tasks, reminders, and deadlines to prevent missed items

ā— Assist with scheduling, follow-ups, and internal coordination

ā— Anticipate needs and proactively surface issues before they escalate


4. Light Creative & Ad-Hoc Support (As Needed)

ā— Use Canva or similar tools to make quick edits using templates (text swaps, simple visuals)

ā— Support team members with fast turnaround requests using provided assets
