This is a role for a proactive problem-solver who thrives in low-structure environments.

  • Recruiting & Vendor Management: Lead the end-to-end hiring of contractors on Upwork; vet candidates, negotiate rates, and manage deliverables.
  • Project Management: Drive small-to-medium projects from A-Z; flag risks before they become blockers.

  • Personal Logistics: Complete "Life Admin" including household staff coordination, travel itineraries, grocery/supply ordering, and vendor research.
