They have an extremely high care level for the small details * Calm under pressure: they are not easily flustered or panicked. Things move fast here and there is a lot happening. They must be calm, clear & organized in their thoughts * Quick: during working hours, they are fast, they are responsive * Highly organized & system thinker: they remember key items that I may have missed, they are organized and consistent everyday. * Proactive: they are always thinking one step ahead – how can we make 1% progress. They are also a proactive communicator. They mention things before it becomes a problem * Critical thinker: They know what matters vs noise — without needing constant input. * Older & woman preferred: this is not required but preferred ( I want someone who is opposite of me) 🛠 Primary Responsibilities * Own and protect Calum’s calendar (schedule, flow, energy management). * Writing: emails, internal Slack messages, social media copy * Organize Gmail inbox (tagging, filtering, drafting clean responses). * Coordinate guest bookings, studio bookings, production schedules. * Travel & events: book flights, hotels, visas; handle on‑site logistics when you record on location or host meet‑ups. * Metrics reporting: pull weekly dashboards from YouTube Studio, IG Insights, Apple Podcasts, flag anomalies and growth opportunities. * Update financial records for book-keeper * Set up and maintain Notion dashboards, internal templates, SOPs. * Repurpose Instagram content onto Twitter & YouTube posts.
