Personal Assistant at Grintern

What will you do?

• Help with the organization of personal tasks. Examples:
  – Various tasks related to the apartment in Kyiv – find competent professionals (e.g., interior designer), meet them, organize different activities (e.g., collect mail, store keys, buy food before he arrives, etc.);
  – Buy/order online whatever is needed (e.g., presents, blood monitor, caviar);
  – Arrange something for the house in Atlanta (e.g., find a master to fix something);
  – Do practical research (e.g., find best deals, tickets, hotels, restaurants, activities);
  – Hold travel support (e.g., organize trips);
  – Other possible tasks that will help the co-founder to save his time and focus on business.

Also possible:

• Manage Tinder or any other dating profiles; help to write a better profile there, set up personal meetings, and communicate with people;
• Find and organize an office in Kyiv from scratch (later).

Requirements

• Location in Kyiv;
• You are by personality a giver, not a taker – Grintern is looking for someone to care for him, not for someone who cares about career growth;
• Fluent English – communication will be held in English (i.e. via iMessage), and you will also need to coordinate or organize certain things in the United States (for example, find a plumber in Atlanta to fix the pipes in the house);
• Be responsive – he expects you to always give a status on the task and keep him updated;
• Be available around the clock – usually, the tasks will take no more than 2 hours per day, but they need to be done quickly. For example, he might ask you to find a restaurant for dinner within the next hour and a half – so you should respond as quickly as possible;
• Be available for help on weekends as well – he may need your help with small tasks (for example, choosing a bar for evening gatherings). If you happen to work on the weekend, you will have an opportunity to take a day off during the working days;
• Good knowledge of Excel and Google Spreadsheets – ability to organize a lot of data without asking many clarifying questions; he  likes results of your job to be presented in spreadsheets;
• Autonomy and self-reliance – you will work on your own, so you should be able to manage tasks independently.

Note: he will be on New Year’s vacation in Ukraine, so he may need your help and support on where to go and what to do in Kyiv during this period. Remember – that will not take longer than 2 hours per day, so you’ll still be able to enjoy the holidays 

What we offer

• Part-time employment (2 hours per day, 5/2) but he might need your help on weekends too, so 5 days per week are not always Monday-Friday;
• Potential to increase the number of hours to 4 or 8 per day – he just needs to first see how good you are;
• Remote work combined with some tasks that require being in Kyiv;
• Stability – this is not an internship or project work, we consider only the candidates looking for a long-term commitment (2+ years).
• Quick selection process. 

Application deadline: 18th of December 2020
