Company Description

An e-commerce holding company focused on building digitally native brands that cater to global audiences, delivering innovative, high-quality products designed for modern consumers everywhere.

Our brands are designed specifically for the North American and European markets, with a dedicated focus on outdoor recreation and active apparel.

Role Description

We’re looking for a smart, proactive, and highly dependable Personal Assistant to the CEO—someone who can keep pace with a fast-moving business, solve problems before they appear, and take ownership of making things run seamlessly, both in and out of the office.

You’ll be working directly with our 28-year-old founder, a seasoned entrepreneur leading a fast-growing, profitable e-commerce holding company. Our team is young, ambitious, and laser-focused, and our beautifully designed Damansara Uptown office is where ideas turn into action fast.

About 70% of your work will be company-focused—managing the CEO’s inbox, coordinating with teams, handling operational tasks, and making sure projects move forward without bottlenecks. The other 30% will be personal-life support—planning dinners and getaways, managing home projects, running errands, and making sure important relationships and moments are never missed.

This is a role for someone who thrives on responsibility and loves to get things right the first time. You’ll have visibility into the inner workings of a high-performing business, sit in on key meetings, and be trusted to make independent decisions once trained.

We value consistent work ethic, smart decision-making, extreme ownership, and a team-first mindset. If that’s how you operate, you’ll fit right in here. If you want to work closely with an ambitious CEO, learn how a winning business is built from the inside, and take pride in making things happen—this is the role for you.

Responsibilities:

• Manage the CEO’s Inbox & Admin: Organize and respond to emails, track action items, and handle general administrative duties such as billing, scheduling, document management, and basic data entry.
• Support Company Culture: Order food for weekly team lunches, host engaging bonding activities weekly and monthly, and plan two memorable company holidays each year.
• Run Personal & Office Errands: Handle grocery shopping, laundry drop-offs, and other essential errands to keep both daily life and the office running smoothly.
• Light Customer Support for E-commerce Brand: Assist with basic customer inquiries, order tracking, and email responses for our incubating online store.
• Plan & Coordinate Events: Organize personal gatherings—whether it’s an intimate dinner with friends, a family barbecue, or a surprise date night—making sure every detail is handled.
• Handle Travel Planning & Logistics: Plan trips from start to finish, from booking romantic weekends away to coordinating a full family vacation, ensuring a smooth and memorable experience.
• Oversee Personal Projects: Manage one-off or ongoing personal projects like finding and coordinating with a handyman, scheduling home maintenance, or arranging service providers.
• Nurture Friends & Family Connections: Maintain a calendar of important birthdays and anniversaries, and proactively plan time with loved ones so no special moment is missed.
• Anticipate & Plan Ahead: Identify needs before they arise—whether in business operations, team activities, or personal matters.
• Maintain Discretion: Manage sensitive company and personal information with the highest level of confidentiality.
• Adapt & Problem-Solve: Stay resourceful and calm in a fast-moving environment where priorities can shift daily.
• Do Whatever Saves Time: This is the heart of the role. Your primary mission is to free up the CEO’s time in every way possible—whether the task is big or small, personal or professional—so they can focus on the highest-value work.
• Wildly Rewarding Bonuses – On top of the base pay, we offer highly lucrative bonus payouts to reward top performance. We ask a lot in terms of results, but we back it up by paying out substantial bonuses for everyone who delivers.
• Surrounded by A-Players – Collaborate with high-performing, driven, and genuinely caring teammates who elevate your game.
• Annual Overseas Company Trip – One unforgettable international adventure every year—fully covered.
• Annual Local Retreat – A well-earned domestic getaway to recharge and reconnect—your partner is invited, all expenses paid.
