Operations Assistant (Established Beauty / Haircare Company)

For our company Holiniq we're looking for an detail-oriented Operations Assistant who keeps the team organised and projects moving.

ABOUT US

Holiniq is a fast-growing company in the beauty and wellness space. We run Hairqare, a science-based haircare education platform that's taught over 250,000 women across 149 countries, and we're currently launching Dualis, our first clinical-grade haircare product line into DTC ecommerce. Small team, big reach, and a lot of ---------- ntum right now.

We're a remote team spread across Asia and Europe, with manufacturers in the US. You'd work directly with the founding team and our Head of Product from day one.


THE ROLE

You'd be the operational backbone of the company — the person who makes sure nothing falls through the cracks. You'll manage projects, coordinate with suppliers, keep systems organised, support every department, and handle the dozens of operational tasks that keep two brands running smoothly.

This is not a sit-back-and-wait-for-instructions role. We need someone who checks in before being asked, follows up relentlessly, spots problems before they become blockers, and keeps the whole team on track. If something is unclear, you chase the answer. If a project is stalling, you figure out why and unblock it. If a meeting is coming up, everyone walks in prepared because you made sure of it.

You'll work across both brands — Hairqare (education) and Dualis (ecommerce) — supporting founders, product, marketing, and external partners.


WHAT YOU'D DO DAY TO DAY

Project management:
- Create and manage projects with timelines, milestones, and deliverables
- Track deadlines relentlessly and follow up before things slip
- Prepare project updates, progress reports, meeting agendas, and briefs
- Keep an eye on dependencies and proactively unblock anything that's stalling
- Anticipate what the team needs and create resources to keep everyone aligned

Supplier and partner coordination (Dualis):
- Handle cold outreach to suppliers and manage ongoing communication
- Schedule meetings, send over documents, create briefs so the team is prepared
- Own follow-up on action items — consolidate meeting notes, track what was agreed, make sure it gets done
- Keep all supplier communication organised and easy to find

Shopify and ecommerce operations:
- Manage the Shopify store — update products, create new product pages, handle order management
- Do basic store customisations and keep everything up to date
- Update offers and checkouts on WooCommerce and Shopify

Education platform support:
- Make simple website updates and update course content (videos, descriptions)
- Assist the customer support team by investigating and fixing customer account issues

Administrative operations:
- Manage calendars, book meetings, and ensure everyone joins prepared
- Prepare contracts and NDAs from existing templates — fill in details so we just need to sign
- Create SOPs and documentation for recurring processes
- Interface with accounting and other third parties to answer operational requests independently
- Develop processes and workflows to keep the team running efficiently
- Help onboard new tea ---------- mbers — create accounts, provide access to documentation and resources, and get them familiar with the company

Marketing and campaign support:
- Support the marketing team during campaigns — coordination, assets, updates
- Set up email campaigns and simple automations in ActiveCampaign

Hiring support (occasional):
- Post jobs, manage the candidate funnel, screen applications
- Write job ads, plan interviews, send assessments, compile candidate submissions

Other:
- Build simple automated workflows in ----------
- Create comprehensive AI research documents
- Simple graphic design using AI tools (Canva, etc.)
- Help keep management on track by proactively checking in and following up on open items


WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

How you work:
- You're proactive, not reactive. You don't wait to be reminded — you follow up, check in, and flag issues before anyone has to ask
- You're relentlessly organised. You keep track of dozens of moving pieces and nothing falls through the cracks
- You take ownership. When you're given a task, you see it through. When something is unclear, you chase the answer instead of waiting
- You're a clear communicator. You write well, you're concise, and you keep people informed without being asked
- You anticipate needs. You think one step ahead — if a meeting is tomorrow, the brief is already done. If a deadline is approaching, you've already checked on progress
- You're resourceful. You figure things out. You don't need step-by-step instructions for everything

Experience:
- Proven experience in operations, executive assistance, or project management in a remote team
- Comfortable managing multiple projects and priorities at the same time
- Shopify experience — managing products, pages, and orders (not development)
- Experience coordinating with suppliers or external partners
- Strong written English — you'll be communicating with suppliers, partners, and the team daily
- Comfortable with tools like Google Workspace, Slack, Loom, and project management platforms
- Can set up simple automations in ---------- or similar

Nice-to-haves:
- Experience in ecommerce or digital education businesses
- Familiarity with ActiveCampaign or similar email platforms
- Experience supporting hiring processes
- Basic graphic design skills (Canva or AI design tools)
- Experience creating SOPs and process documentation
- WooCommerce experience


THIS ROLE IS FOR YOU IF YOU:
- Get satisfaction from everything being organised and on track
- Are the kind of person who follows up on things before being asked
- Like working across different areas rather than doing one thing all day
- Want to work closely with founders and have real impact on a growing company

THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF YOU:
- Need to be reminded to follow up on things
- Wait for detailed instructions before you can start
- Let threads and tasks go stale without communicating
- Prefer to stay in one lane and not touch anything outside your role


HOW YOU'D WORK WITH US
- You'd primarily work with the Head of Product and the business development founder, with tasks also coming from the broader team
- Communication happens via Slack, Loom, and documented tasks. We do regular syncs but you're expected to manage your own work between them
- You're expected to manage your own priorities and flag when things need attention


HOW TO APPLY

Please include a short Loom video (2-3 min) in your application — just talk to camera and tell us: (1) What kind of operations or project management work you've done, (2) An example of a time you proactively prevented a project from stalling or falling through the cracks, and (3) Your availability.

Keep it casual. We just want to hear how you think and communicate.

Applications without a Loom will not be reviewed.
