About the Company

The client is a wholesale importer and exporter of ingredients. The business operates with a lean but established team, including existing VA support across specialised functions. This role reports directly to the company owner and supports him personally with day-to-day operations, organisation, and communication management.
About the Role

We’re looking for a reliable, organised, and tech-savvy executive and admin assistant to work closely with the owner. This is a part-time starting role (20 hours/week) with the expectation of growing to full-time as trust is established. You’ll be the person who keeps the small things from slipping through the cracks β€” freeing the owner to stay focused on higher-level priorities.
Key Responsibilities
From day one

- Perform daily/weekly checks to confirm automations and data imports are running correctly; log and flag any issues

- Apply routine website content updates (copy-paste level; custom PHP/HTML backend β€” no coding required)

- Check and maintain marketing material stock levels across warehouse and office locations via phone/email

- Serve as a communication liaison β€” checking in with internal team members on behalf of the owner and relaying anything that needs his attention

- Handle general admin tasks as assigned (Google Workspace β€” Docs, Sheets, Gmail)

As trust develops

- Manage the general company inbox (info@) β€” sorting, forwarding to relevant departments, and sending holding/clarification replies where needed

- Act as a first filter for inbound inquiries, distinguishing buy-side vs sell-side contacts and routing accordingly

- Support calendar management for the owner

What We’re Looking For

- Strong attention to detail β€” this role is all about consistency and follow-through

- Comfortable working independently with minimal hand-holding

- Tech-savvy; comfortable with Google Workspace and confident learning new tools

- Basic familiarity with HTML is a plus (not required, but handy)

- Good written English for professional email correspondence

- Reliable availability during EST business hours (approx. 9am start)

- Long-term mindset β€” the owner values loyalty and stability over short engagements

Nice to Have

- Experience supporting a senior executive or business owner

- Familiarity with AI tools or automation workflows (Zapier, Make, etc.)

- Prior experience in e-commerce, wholesale, or import/export environments

Working Details

Hours: 20 hrs/week (part-time start, with path to full-time 40 hrs)

Time zone: EST β€” approx. 9am start (TBC)

Location: Fully remote
