• Manage payment processes and maintain accurate records.
• Communicate with clients when needed via WhatsApp or phone.

• Track data, measure outcomes and look for opportunities to improve systems, including exploring automation and AI where useful.

What Were Looking For

• Highly organised with strong attention to detail.
• A systems thinker who understands how tasks fit into the bigger picture.
• Confident and professional in client-facing communication.
• Proficient in Google Suite and WordPress with the ability to learn new tools quickly.
• Focused on impact and results, not just ticking tasks off a list.

What Youll Get

• A fully remote role where your work genuinely keeps the business moving.
• The chance to step into a role central to how we run; you’ll see the impact of your work every day.
• Real ownership: we’ll trust you to get things done without hand-holding.
• A fixed-term maternity cover contract with competitive pay.

Qualifications: Required

• Strong organisational and multitasking skills.
• Proficiency with Google Suite (Docs, Sheets, Drive).
• WordPress experience (content forms and basic updates).
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and manage competing priorities.

Preferred

• Operations or admin experience in a remote team environment.
• Advanced skills in Google Sheets (formulas, pivot tables, dashboards).
• Familiarity with automation tools (Zapier, Make, Airtable etc.).
• Interest in applying AI tools to streamline workflows.
• Experience improving or creating processes that increased efficiency.
• Previous client-facing support via WhatsApp or phone.
