• You can work from home, or anywhere you feel like working from.
• Hours are 9am-5pm Berlin time. Overtime possible and paid separately.
• You need to bring your own PC, phone, and internet.

Here's what you'll do (non-exhaustive): 

• Plan digital calendar carefully so that I'm always aware of what’s on in the coming days and making sure that I get there.
• Handle emails which I send through for things which will otherwise be left for days, weeks, months…
• Put order into my personal and business paperwork.
• Organize anything: travel, appointments, family commitments, parking fines, finding tradesmen to get things fixed etc.
• Research things I need but can’t get going on.
• Business administration: paying bills / invoices on time, fast email responses to clients, taking notes in meetings, and much more.
• Call answering, message taking, and conveying in the best way for me to notice.
• Creating new systems to manage the business and personal operations in the most efficient and best adapted way.

Here's what you'll get (non-exhaustive):

• Starting salary of 15k EGP.
• After 3 months, you are very welcome to negotiate a salary increase. However, you're expected to come prepared with evidence-based points for the salary increase.
• After 3 months, in addition to any salary increase, we can set performance-based bonus calendar. No cap limit.

Please NOTE: this is a private position, you'll be working one-on-one with me as a private employer from abroad. This means that you will need to bill me monthly and take care of your own taxes, insurances, etc. In your application, please write “beam me up, Scotty". Any application that does not include this will be discarded. Note that you can also negotiate a higher salary from the beginning but please prepare a strong, evidence-based argument. 

If you're shortlisted, you'll get a one-off assignment. The assignment will be timed (anywhere from 1 to 8 hours) and it will be paid regardless of the final job application outcome. 

If you have any questions about the job or not sure if it's the right fit for you, you can send an application and ask any questions you might have and I'll try my best to answer them. 

A bit about me:

• Software developer, consultant, and entrepreneur - working in Europe.
• I'm good at a lot of things, but being organized is not one of them. This is where you come in.
