Job Title: Personal Assistant

Location: Lagos
Employment Type: Full-time

Job Summary

• We are looking for an exceptional Personal Assistant, Business & Projects to work closely with a senior executive across business, technology, investments, professional services, projects, and public-facing engagements. This is not a conventional Personal Assistant role.
• We are looking for someone who can do much more than manage a diary. You should be able to research a subject, write intelligently about it, prepare a presentation, attend a business meeting, organise an event, send professional correspondence, manage social media and help move projects from ideas to execution.
• You should be curious, commercially minded, highly organised, confident and presentable.
• Most importantly, you must think like a business person.

Key Responsibilities
Research and Writing:

• Conduct research on businesses, industries, technology, investments, markets, people and emerging opportunities.
• Prepare research notes, briefing papers, articles, presentations, talking points and other written materials.
• Read widely and stay informed about technology, business, markets and relevant current affairs.
• Turn information into clear, useful and actionable insights.

Executive and Meeting Support:

• Attend meetings with the Managing Partner where required.
• Prepare meeting materials and background research.
• Take notes and track action points.
• Follow up with relevant people to ensure agreed actions are completed.
• Assist with correspondence, appointments, schedules, and other executive priorities.
• Draft and send professional emails where required.

Projects and Execution:

• Support the execution of business and personal projects from idea to completion.
• Coordinate people, tasks, timelines, and deliverables.
• Research vendors, service providers, partners, and potential opportunities.
• Follow up consistently on outstanding tasks.
• Help turn ideas into actual projects and outcomes.
• Take ownership of assigned tasks rather than waiting to be reminded.

Presentations:

• Prepare professional PowerPoint, Keynote, or Google Slides presentations.
• Assist with research, structure, and content for presentations.
• Be comfortable presenting information and ideas confidently.
• Be able to communicate clearly and intelligently in front of a room.

Events:

• Assist with planning, organising, and executing meetings, conferences, dinners, launches and other events.
• Coordinate logistics, guests, speakers, vendors and programmes.
• Attend events and provide on-the-ground support.
• Assist with moderating or hosting events where required.

Social Media and Content:

• Manage and publish content across relevant social media platforms.
• Research content ideas and identify interesting topics and trends.
• Write captions and short-form content.
• Help develop and maintain a consistent online presence.
• Understand what makes content interesting, useful, and shareable.
• Be genuinely good at social media, not merely someone who uses Instagram and TikTok personally.

Video and Creative:

• Basic video editing skills are not mandatory but are highly desirable.
• Experience with CapCut, Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro, or similar tools will attract a premium above the standard salary.
• The ability to film, edit, and produce short-form video content will be a significant advantage.

Minimum Requirements

• A University Degree or equivalent qualification.
• Strong written and spoken English.
• Demonstrable research and writing ability.
• Good working knowledge of PowerPoint, Google Slides, and standard productivity tools.
• Strong social media literacy.
• At least 1–3 years of relevant professional experience in an executive assistant, personal assistant, consulting, communications, marketing, business development, project coordination, or similar role.

What We Are Looking For:

• Business-minded. This is mandatory.
• Intelligent, curious, and commercially aware.
• An excellent researcher and writer.
• Confident speaking and presenting.
• Highly organised and able to manage multiple priorities.
• Proactive rather than waiting to be told what to do.
• Comfortable using technology and learning new tools quickly.
• Very good at social media.
• Comfortable attending meetings and interacting with senior professionals.
• Capable of organising and moderating events.
• A strong communicator, both verbally and in writing.
• Resourceful and capable of solving problems independently.
• Detail-oriented while also able to see the bigger picture.
• Presentable, polished, and appropriately dressed for professional environments.
• Discreet and capable of handling confidential information.
• Energetic and willing to get involved in execution.

Interest in Technology:

• You should have a genuine interest in technology, technology products, startups, AI, and the digital economy.
• You do not need to be a technologist.
• However, you should be the kind of person who is naturally curious about a new AI product, understands what a startup is trying to build, follows technology trends, and can have an intelligent conversation about a product or business.

Additional Advantages:
Experience in any of the following will be highly valued:

• Video editing.
• Content creation.
• Social media management.
• Event management.
• Business development.
• Consulting.
• Technology or startups.
• Marketing.
• Communications.
• Project management.

The Person We Want:

• If your idea of being a Personal Assistant is managing someone’s calendar, booking restaurants, and reminding them about appointments, this is probably not the role for you.
• If, however, you are someone who can receive an assignment in the morning, research it, prepare a brief, turn it into a presentation, attend a meeting in the afternoon, send follow-up emails, post an interesting insight on social media, and then help organise an event, we want to hear from you.
• This is a role for someone who wants to work closely with a senior business leader and gain exposure to business, technology, investments, professional services and entrepreneurship.
• We are looking for someone who is not merely an assistant, but someone who can become a trusted extension of the executive they support.

Salary
N250,000 - N300,000 / month.
