Remote Executive & Ops Assistant Job Available in South Africa at Homerise Co.
I run a lean, fast-moving business development company helping construction firms grow. Right now, we’re focused on client acquisition and sales systems — but we’re expanding into tech integration and internal automation to deliver more value, faster.
You’ll start off doing what most Executive Assistants do — handling calendars, inboxes, files, SOPs, project coordination, and general admin. That’s the foundation.
But this role is built to evolve fast.
We’re just starting to break into tools like:
- n8n (for automation and backend workflows)
- ClickUp (for project and task management)
- Archdesk (for construction PM systems in the UK)
These systems aren’t fully built yet — and that’s the point.
You won’t just manage tools — you’ll lead the implementation, testing, and ongoing optimisation. You’ll be responsible for learning n8n inside and out, experimenting, breaking things, building systems, and making them run smoothly.If the idea of becoming the in-house expert on how everything connects behind the scenes excites you, this role was built for you.
📌 What You’ll Be Doing
- Handle core executive admin (calendar, inbox, SOPs, file/task organisation)
- Manage the founder’s workload and keep operations clean and efficient
- Learn and own our automation systems (starting with n8n)
- Build workflows and internal tools using ClickUp and Notion
- Support implementation of tools like Archdesk for internal and client use
- Liaise with freelancers and manage small projects
- Create SOPs, systems, templates, and documentation
- Support light marketing execution: scheduling, briefs, asset coordination
💡 Why This Role Matters
We’re moving from a service business to a systems-first, AI-powered growth engine.
You’ll play a central role in that transformation by:
- Building backend automation systems from scratch
- Helping define and document internal workflows
- Leading implementation of key tools like ClickUp and Archdesk
- Making sure everything from outreach to fulfillment runs like a well-oiled machine
You won’t just be helping run the business — you’ll be helping build it from the inside out.🔑 What I’m Really Looking For
- You’re proactive, fast-learning, and obsessed with figuring things out
- You’re comfortable learning tools like n8n, ClickUp, and AI tools without being taught step-by-step
- You’re naturally organised, precise, and a systems-thinker
- You love solving problems with tech — and you can sit down for deep solo work and lose track of time
- You want a long-term role that turns into ownership of tech and ops in a scaling business
📌 Bonus: If you start exploring n8n, ClickUp, or Archdesk before applying, I’ll be seriously impressed.
🧰 Bonus Skills (Nice to Have, Not Required)
- Experience with automation or no-code tools (n8n, Make, CRMs, etc.)
- Familiarity with ClickUp, Notion, Airtable, or other PM tools
- Strong written communication skills
- Ability to build documentation, SOPs, and simple dashboards
- Experience working with agencies or founders in a high-autonomy environment
📈 What You’ll Get
- Immediate start or within 2 weeks — no red tape
- A-Players will get shares in the company
- Full access to the founder, business strategy, and behind-the-scenes growth
- Hands-on ownership of tech systems and automations
- Remote, async-friendly work structure with flexible hours
- Paid tools, courses, and support to grow into a Head of Systems / Ops
- A true build-from-scratch opportunity
