Someone who is genuinely interested in entrepreneurship and how businesses are built. You’re likely to thrive in this role if you are: • Naturally organised but creatively minded, • Curious and proactive rather than reactive, • Comfortable working independently, • Excited by learning in a real-world environment, • Keen to be deeply involved in the workings of a creative business The skills you’ll need Essential: • Strong written communication, • Excellent organisational instincts, • Confidence using tools like Google Workspace and Notion, • Comfortable working remotely and independently, • Discreet, reliable, and trustworthy, • Enjoys research and synthesising information, • Creative mindset with an interest in ideas and execution Nice to have: • Interest in startups or entrepreneurship, • Familiarity with AI tools, • Basic understanding of how businesses work, • Experience supporting a founder or small creative team Why this is a special opportunity This isn’t just a “support role.” It’s a learning role. You’ll gain rare, behind-the-scenes exposure to founder-level decision-making across multiple creative ventures. You’ll be trusted, challenged, and genuinely involved in the reality of building businesses from the ground up. If you want to learn by doing rather than just watching from the sidelines, this role offers exactly that.
