2. We are looking for someone who can do much more than manage a diary. You should be able to research a subject, write intelligently about it, prepare a presentation, attend a business meeting, organise an event, send professional correspondence, manage social media and help move projects from ideas to execution.
3. You should be curious, commercially minded, highly organised, confident and presentable.
4. Most importantly, you must think like a business person.

Job Responsibilities

1. Conduct research on businesses, industries, technology, investments, markets, people and emerging opportunities.

3. Research vendors, service providers, partners, and potential opportunities.
4. Follow up consistently on outstanding tasks.
5. Help turn ideas into actual projects and outcomes.
6. Take ownership of assigned tasks rather than waiting to be reminded.

Presentations:

1. Prepare professional PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides presentations.
2. Assist with research, structure, and content for presentations.
3. Be comfortable presenting information and ideas confidently.
4. Be able to communicate clearly and intelligently in front of a room.

3. Write captions and short-form content.
4. Help develop and maintain a consistent online presence.
5. Understand what makes content interesting, useful, and shareable.

Video and Creative:

1. Basic video editing skills are not mandatory but are highly desirable.
2. Experience with CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar tools will attract a premium above the standard salary.
3. The ability to film, edit, and produce short-form video content will be a significant advantage.

8. Very good at social media.
9. Comfortable attending meetings and interacting with senior professionals.
10. Capable of organising and moderating events.
11. A strong communicator, both verbally and in writing.

Interest in Technology:

2. You do not need to be a technologist.

Additional Advantages:

1. Video editing.
2. Content creation.
3. Social media management.
4. Event management.
5. Business development.
6. Consulting.

The Person We Want:

1. If your idea of being a Personal Assistant is managing someone’s calendar, booking restaurants, and reminding them about appointments, this is probably not the role for you.
2. If, however, you are someone who can receive an assignment in the morning, research it, prepare a brief, turn it into a presentation, attend a meeting in the afternoon, send follow-up emails, post an interesting insight on social media, and then help organise an event, we want to hear from you.
3. This is a role for someone who wants to work closely with a senior business leader and gain exposure to business, technology, investments, professional services and entrepreneurship.
4. We are looking for someone who is not merely an assistant, but someone who can become a trusted extension of the executive they support.

Salary
N250,000 – N300,000 / month.
