The company

We are a fast-growing group of entrepreneurial businesses operating across multiple sectors and regions.

Our portfolio includes:

• Jobnav – A technology start-up focused on innovation within recruitment

We operate at pace, across multiple time zones, industries, and stakeholder groups. As we continue to scale, we are seeking a highly organised, commercially aware Virtual Executive Assistant to support the CEO across all ventures.

• Full executive diary and schedule management across time zones

• Preparing agendas, documenting minutes, and tracking actions

• Coordinating projects across multiple companies simultaneously

• Standardising processes and maintaining SOPs

• Managing reports, dashboards, and KPI tracking

• Acting as the central coordination point between CEO, teams, franchisees, and partners

• Supporting presentations, proposals, and executive documentation

You will work closely with internal teams (sales, marketing, admin, finance) and external stakeholders to ensure alignment, accountability, and execution.

• Proven experience supporting a CEO or senior executive

• Experience managing multiple projects or business units

• Excellent written English and structured communication

• Advanced Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace skills

• Experience using CRM systems (Zoho or similar)

• Ability to produce structured executive reports and summaries

• High levels of proactivity and independence

• Full-time availability and flexibility across time zones

Desirable:

• Experience in franchising, recruitment, or startup environments

• Familiarity with project management tools (Asana, Monday, ClickUp, MS Project)

• Experience creating SOPs and improving processes

• Canva or presentation design experience

• Exposure to Middle East markets

What’s on offer

• Full-time, long-term remote opportunity

• Direct access to CEO-level decision-making

• Exposure to multiple industries and international markets

• High responsibility and autonomy

• Clear progression pathway towards Chief of Staff–style responsibilities

• Performance-based growth opportunities

Reporting structure

• Reports directly to the CEO

• Works across all business units

• Acts as central coordination point across internal and external stakeholders
