• Comfortable working independently, while keeping close contact with the owners.
• Discreet and trustworthy with confidential information.

• UK experience will be a huge plus
• Strong organizational and multitasking skills.
• Excellent communication in English.
• Tech-savvy: comfortable with email, scheduling tools, and virtual meeting platforms.
• Ability to balance professional tasks with personal/lifestyle management.
• Someone mature and can handle working independently without any handholding - but rather able to create solutions and be available for things as they come up
