We are recruiting an experienced Administrative Assistant / PA to support a business owner who is establishing a new hospitality venture in Cape Town.

This is a hands-on position for someone who is exceptionally organised, practical and comfortable working without constant supervision. The owner needs a capable administrator who can take a brief, work out what needs to happen next and follow matters through to completion. The role will involve bringing structure to a busy start-up environment, keeping documentation in order and coordinating with various external service providers.

Description

Responsibilities will include:

• Liaising with designers, accountants, attorneys and other professional service providers
• Following up on emails, outstanding information and agreed actions
• Preparing, completing and organising business documentation
• Assisting with administrative processes such as VAT registration
• Establishing and maintaining clear digital filing systems
• Organising files, folders and documents on the owner’s hard drive
• Managing correspondence and keeping track of deadlines
• Coordinating appointments, meetings and general arrangements
• Providing day-to-day administrative and personal assistance to the business owner
• Identifying what needs attention and taking the initiative to deal with it

Minimum Requirements

We are looking for someone who:

• Has proven experience as an Administrative Assistant, Personal Assistant or in a similar support role
• Is highly organised and pays close attention to detail
• Uses initiative, sound judgement and common sense
• Can take instruction while still working independently
• Is confident following up with senior professionals and external service providers
• Communicates clearly and professionally, both verbally and in writing
• Can manage several tasks at once without losing track of the details
• Does not need to be micromanaged
• Is reliable, discreet and accountable
• Is based in Cape Town and able to work from the Waterfront when required

 

Hospitality experience is not required. Strong administrative experience and a proven ability to bring order and structure to a busy working environment are far more important.

Excellent, contactable references will be required and should demonstrate the candidate’s initiative, reliability and ability to work independently.

Please submit your updated CV, together with details of your current or most recent salary and availability.
