JOB OVERVIEW

??? ????????
Executive Assistant & Operations Manager
Retail and eCommerce Operations
Part-Time | Remote | 15 hrs/week | Mon-Fri Australian Business Hours

????? ??
We are a growing remote team looking for an Executive Assistant & Operations Manager to join us and take on a dedicated role supporting day-to-day operations for a retail and eCommerce-focused business. We work closely with our team members to deliver high-quality support across our operations.

????? ??? ????
This role acts as a right-hand to a senior stakeholder, taking full ownership of inbox management, scheduling, payment tracking, and supplier coordination so leadership can stay focused on strategic growth. You will also help build out workflows, templates, and documentation to bring structure to recurring processes. This is not a guesswork role. SOPs, templates, and existing workflows are provided and training will be given. The expectation is straightforward -- do the job well, communicate proactively, and ask when unsure rather than assume. A win in your first 30 days looks like: inbox triage running independently, calendar and scheduling fully under your ownership, supplier payment due dates tracked and flagged ahead of time, and early workflow documentation underway.

??? ????????????????
Inbox and Communications
• Full ownership of email inbox management, including triage and responding to level 1 enquiries (currently on Outlook/Exchange, migrating to Google Workspace)
• Monitoring and responding to Shopify inbox messages daily or as alerts arise

Scheduling and Financial Coordination
• Managing external and internal scheduling, including calendar management with day, week, and month ahead planning
• Supporting time and priority management for a senior stakeholder, including proactive follow-ups
• Tracking and scheduling payments, keeping on top of supplier due dates
• Managing supplier and vendor scheduling and level 1 engagements
• Checking supplier orders in wholesale/retail ordering platforms as needed

Process, Documentation and Content
• Creating workflows and playbooks for recurring business processes
• Creating documents and templates, such as account overviews, pre-meeting preparation, and SOPs
• Preparing materials for monthly supplier review meetings and following up on resulting actions
• Ad hoc creation of static social media posts

- Email and Scheduling: Outlook/Exchange (transitioning to Google Workspace)

- At least 2 years of experience as a VA, preferably as an EA or OM
- Experience managing email inboxes and triaging enquiries independently
- Strong calendar and scheduling coordination skills
- Comfortable tracking payments and expenses using spreadsheets and accounting software
- Ability to create and document workflows and playbooks for recurring processes
- Strong written communication skills, able to provide clear, detailed updates
- Proactive communicator -- over-communicates rather than under-communicates
- Knows when to problem-solve independently and when to escalate
- Specific industry experience is not required -- personality, communication quality, and reliability - matter most

- High-speed, stable internet connection, with backup data available during power outages or service interruptions.
