#theposition
Dr Justin Coulson is one of Australia’s leading parenting experts. He leads a small team of seriously brilliant people who collectively are tasked with making families happier and building stronger, better relationships at work, school, and especially at home.
Justin is seeking a new personal assistant. In this role you will work directly with Justin – and because the team is so tight, you’ll almost certainly end up helping everyone in one way or another. That’s how we roll.
If you’re:
- A Brisbane-based admin whizz
- In possession of a bit of social media savvy
- Know your way around database management
- Capable of managing a CRM, nurture sequences, and email scheduling
- Able to multi-task
- Deeply, breathtakingly detail-oriented,
- The kind of person who is excited to learn new skills,
- Someone who genuinely enjoys a fast pace (and a bit too much to do),
- Want to work from home but be part of a team, and
- Positive and fun (and positively fun),
Please apply!
(Note, you don’t have to live in Brisbane but it would be very advantageous… and why wouldn’t you live in Brissy? It’s ace!)
#jointheteam
Here are the best bits:
- We don’t work Fridays! (Well, Justin can’t help himself, but the office is technically closed.)
- Our team doesn’t work more than 20 hours per week!
- You get to work from home (even in your pj’s if you want!)
- We make a difference in the lives of tens of thousands of people every year – and really, who wouldn’t want that?
Ok… now for the part where it all gets real:
