Content Creation: Create and edit decks/documents for both internal and external stakeholders e.g. investor updates, team meeting presentations & customer event collateral
Office Management: Assist with general office duties such as ordering supplies, managing office vendors, and ensuring the workplace runs smoothly.

Think like a founder: Working closely with our founder/CEO means thinking like him and anticipating needs or challenges that he will likely face day to day, week on week. If you have an entrepreneurial mindset already, you will be coming in with an advantage.
Team Player: You enjoy collaborating with diverse teams and are happy to get stuck into projects regardless of area (e.g. marketing, product, operations)
