  • Ability to work independently and take ownership of tasks.
  • Reliable internet connection and home office setup.
  • Comfortable working remotely and managing multiple priorities.

  • Knowledge of platforms such as Kahunas, Notion, Obsidian, CapCut, or similar tools.
  • Understanding of online coaching, fitness, health, or lifestyle industries.

Benefits

What Success Looks Like

Within the first 90 days, you will have established consistent daily engagement with inbound leads, maintained organised lead tracking and reporting, ensured content is published on schedule, and become a trusted operational support partner to the founder.

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who is proactive, dependable, and naturally personable. You should enjoy interacting with people online, be confident managing conversations on behalf of a brand, and have the ability to balance administrative responsibilities while maintaining a high level of professionalism and attention to detail.
