personal assistant & social media manager
≤ 24 hrs / week
flexible hours
fully remote
this is a dual-function contract role. you will act as my personal assistant — keeping my schedule, inbox, and priorities organised — while also handling social media and online presence for a portfolio of early-stage tech projects. if you thrive in organised chaos, can context-switch fast, and love getting things done without being told twice, read on.
about the work
i am a software engineer and "founder" running a portfolio of early-stage, bootstrapped tech projects. currently 7 active projects across different verticals — this number may increase or decrease depending on traction. i don't particularly like the label, but here we are. alongside this, i lead the machine learning community for liverpool, which involves organising events, coordinating speakers, and managing logistics.
hours are capped at 24 per week across both functions. projects are early-stage, so social media posting does not need to be daily or rigidly scheduled — quality and consistency matter more than volume.
