Full Job Description
ABOUT SIDEKICK We help founders (and other busy humans) escape admin overload by pairing them with hand-picked assistants who protect their clients' most valuable resource; time. We're a small team of kind, big-hearted, excellence-obsessed people who genuinely love helping people thrive. See our website for more info: www.sidekick.cool THE ROLE As a Sidekick, you'll work with one or more clients, supporting them across their personal and professional lives. No two days look the same, and that's exactly why this role suits people who are organised, adaptable and energised by variety. You'll be matched with clients whose needs align with your skills and experience. Over time, many Sidekicks grow into indispensable partners in their clients' lives. Personal Assistance Depending on your client, you might be helping with: - Calendar ping pong and wrangling someone's schedule before it wrangles them - Planning an epic overseas trip (that doesn't involve a 14-hour layover in Dubai) - Finding birthday gifts that are thoughtful, on time (and not a regift of your granny's bath soaps) - Planning & organising meals that are healthy, affordable, and not the same sad salad - Being the person who actually books the doctor's appointment - Decoding a medical aid claim before it becomes a 6-month saga - Keeping the finances from becoming a shoebox of receipts and good intentions - Taking their car in for a service before they knew it was due Business Assistance Or on the professional side, you could be working on things like: - Taming the inbox that multiplies like rabbits - triaging, drafting, unsubscribing, actually replying - Turning chaotic notes, voice memos and meeting notes into neatly-organised and actionable projects & tasks - Building and maintaining the systems, standard operating procedures, meeting rhythms and information that keeps everything organised and everyone sane - Keeping the money stuff moving - invoices, receipts, expenses, and the bookkeeping your client
