JOB OVERVIEW

Executive Assistant to the General Manager — Part-Time (3 hours/day)
Global headwear brand — Remote (must work 9:00am–12:00p ---------- lbourne / AEST Mon–Fri)
Pay: $120 USD per week (paid weekly)

Be the GM’s morning engine. This is a short, high-impact role for someone who is ruthlessly organised, an excellent writer, and brilliant at turning emails and decisions into completed actions. You’ll own inbox triage, priority-setting, and follow-up so the GM can focus on strategy.

The role — quick and honest
You’ll spend three focused hours every morning owning the GM’s inbox and calendar: collate the day’s top items, run a daily Teams catch-up with the GM to set priorities, send replies on the GM’s behalf, and chase owners until tasks are done. You do not need to attend other meetings — your job is to move things forward, not sit in them.

Key responsibilities:
- Triage the GM’s inbox: identify urgent items, draft and send responses on the GM’s behalf, and escalate when required.
- Run a daily Teams catch-up with the GM (within 9–12) to agree priorities and actions.
- Create clear action lists and maintain a simple TAC (Time Action - Calendar) tracker — chase owners and log updates until completion.
- Protect the GM’s time: manage calendar requests, block strategic time, and categorize meeting requests.
- Draft and send clear, on-brand communications from the GM to the business.
- Hold teams accountable to deadlines across Product, Sourcing, Sales, Customer Service and Finance.
- Maintain strict confidentiality and good judgement.

Must-haves:
- Proven EA or senior admin experience in wholesale / fashion / accessories / footwear.
- Exceptional written English — tidy, decisive, persuasive.
- A process-first mindset: you build simple systems and run them relentlessly.
- Comfortable sending emails on behalf of the GM and escalating professionally.
- Tool fluency: Outlook/Gmail, Teams, Slack, Asana (or similar). Comfortable referencing PLM/ERP notes.
- Availability 9:00am–12:00p ---------- lbourne time, Mon–Fri.
- High integrity and willingness to undergo background checks if required.

Nice-to-haves:
- Experience with SAP, PLM or retail ERPs.
- Practical experience enforcing TAC / deadline compliance.
- Natural cultural champion — someone who makes team comms clear, consistent and on-brand.

What is a TAC (brief)
TAC = Time Action Calendar. It’s the launch timetable with owners, deadlines and dependencies. You’ll keep a short TAC tracker every morning so the GM only sees what truly matters.

Success in the first 90 days
Day 1–30: Daily inbox triage is consistent; morning catch-ups are tight and actionable.
Day 31–90: Deadlines are being hit more often, follow-ups are tracked and closed, and the GM has more uninterrupted strategic time.

Practicals & how to apply
Hours: 3 hours/day (9:00–12:00 Melbourne time).
Pay: $120 USD/week, paid weekly.
Contract: Ongoing (start ASAP / by mutual agreement).
Location: Remote — must work Melbourne hours.

To apply:
- Send a short cover note (2–3 sentences), CV, and a 2–3 bullet example of a process you implemented that improved deadline compliance.
- Confirm you can: work 9–12 Melbourne time, send emails on behalf of the GM, and accept the weekly pay of $120 USD.
- Answer screening questions below:
1. Briefly describe your wholesale/fashion/EA experience.
2. Which tools do you use for inbox triage and task tracking?
3. One example of how you’ve "branded" or improved team communication.

We need an excellent communicator and cultural champion — if you make leadership look better and deadlines happen, apply.
