Personal Assistant to Director

Overview

I run two completely different businesses—a Marketing Agency and a Packaging Company. While they’re worlds apart, both need structure, ideas, follow-through, and someone who isn’t afraid to get stuck in.

I’m looking for a Personal Assistant who’s comfortable juggling a mix of business tasks, personal admin, and the general organised chaos that comes with being a director.

You do not need experience in either industry. I’m far more interested in someone who’s proactive, sharp, great with people, and able to make things happen without needing their hand held.

If you’re the sort of person who thrives on variety, enjoys figuring things out, and likes taking ownership, you’ll fit right in.

• Keeping me organised: calendars, priorities, reminders, travel, meetings—the lot
• Handling communication on my behalf, professionally, politely, and sometimes firmly
• Helping to run projects and manage day-to-day operations across both businesses
• Problem-solving: spotting issues and fixing them before they become problems
• Handling personal admin, appointments, and life logistics (if it needs doing, you’ll probably end up owning it)
• Coordinating with clients and suppliers
• Chasing outstanding invoices
• Researching, planning, and taking on new tasks you may never have done before
• Keeping systems tidy and making processes smoother
• Basically, making sure I can focus on what I do best while you handle the rest

• You’ll thrive in this role if you’re:
• A natural organiser—chaos doesn’t scare you
• Confident, switched-on, and good with people
• Able to work independently and take ownership of tasks
• Comfortable with ambiguity (not everything comes with a step-by-step guide)
• Resourceful—you can figure things out using AI, Google, common sense, or determination
• Happy to manage both business and personal tasks
• Calm under pressure and capable of balancing multiple priorities
• Someone who takes initiative rather than waiting for instructions
• Able to maintain confidentiality and trust at all times

• Strong email writing and communication skills
• Familiarity with basic admin tools (Office, Google Workspace, AI tools, etc.)
• Project coordination experience
• A sense of humour—honestly, it helps

• A varied role where you’ll never feel like a cog in a machine
• Freedom to take ownership and make real decisions
• A boss who appreciates initiative and respects your time
• Flexibility in how you work, as long as things get done
• Exposure to two very different businesses (great experience)
• A genuinely interesting, non-boring job where your ideas matter
• The chance to grow within expanding businesses and carve out your own future role
