About the Role

Role Overview

We are seeking a Personal Executive Virtual Assistant to provide dedicated administrative and operational support to an individual working across music, creative projects, and business administration.

This role is not supporting a team or company — it is solely personal support for one founder, helping streamline admin tasks, manage outreach, coordinate communications, and reduce day-to-day workload.

The ideal candidate is highly trustworthy, proactive, strong in written communication, and comfortable acting on behalf of the client in professional outreach and correspondence.

Key Responsibilities

Administrative & Executive Support

  • Manage inboxes and written communications on behalf of the client

  • Draft and edit emails, messages, and short-form written content

  • Assist with scheduling, calendar coordination, and task follow-ups

  • Support day-to-day administrative tasks as priorities shift

Outreach & Networking Support

  • Conduct cold outreach via email, DM, or online platforms (no cold calling)

  • Research and identify relevant:

    • Venues

    • Promoters

    • Industry contacts

    • Potential collaborators

  • Initiate outreach using the client’s name and accounts (not third-party profiles)

  • Track outreach activity and responses

Research & Industry Support

  • Research people, companies, and opportunities within the music and creative industry

  • Compile findings into clear, actionable summaries

  • Identify and organize contact lists for follow-up

Finance & Admin Assistance (Light Support)

  • Assist with basic invoicing and financial admin

  • Work confidently within spreadsheets (Google Sheets / Excel)

  • Navigate and update records in Xero (experience preferred, not required)

  • Support financial organization without full bookkeeping responsibility

Workflow & Collaboration

  • Communicate via Slack

  • Track tasks and projects in Asana

  • Maintain clear documentation and task status updates

Tools & Software

Required / Strongly Preferred

  • Google Workspace (Docs, Gmail, Calendar, Sheets)

  • Google Sheets or Excel (comfortable navigating spreadsheets)

Nice to Have

  • Xero

  • Slack

  • Asana

(Lack of experience with Slack or Asana is not a deal-breaker if willing to learn)

Working Hours

  • Part-time: 20 hours per week

  • Preferred coverage: UK afternoon hours

    • Can include overlap with UK time or work while the client is offline

  • Flexible schedule with reliability and consistency

Ideal Candidate Profile

  • 3–4+ years experience as an Executive Assistant, Personal Assistant, or Admin VA

  • Strong written communication and copy skills

  • Highly organized, proactive, and detail-oriented

  • Comfortable acting on behalf of the client with professionalism and discretion

  • Trustworthy with access to accounts, passwords, and sensitive information

Able to work independently and integrate deeply into the client’s workflow
