SALIX Data Africa

Executive Assistant.

CONTRACTPEOPLE & OPS

Executive Information and Administrative Management 

  • Triage the executive's inbox, clearing routine and notification emails; banking, HR/payroll, system alerts, SaaS notifications, so only items genuinely needing attention get through.  
  • Progressively take on more direct filtering and filing as familiarity with the business builds. 
  • Filter routine communications and escalate only critical matters. 
  • Categorize emails by urgency, significance, and required action. 

Manage Calendar scheduling and coordination 

  • Assist with travel planning and document preparations 
  • Support Process documentation and SOP management 
  • Create structured daily executive briefings highlighting decisions, risks, opportunities, and priorities. 
  • The goal is to provide clarity and actionable insight rather than forwarding individual emails. 

Freight and Logistics Monitoring 

  • Monitor shipment, freight schedule, and customs activity across all carriers and brokers. 
  • Track and flag exceptions, delays, or documentation issues as they arise.  
  • Coordinate directly with suppliers, freight partners, and internal teams to help resolve flagged issues. 

Data Entry & Research Projects 

  • Own data entry and record-update projects in NetSuite and other business systems, starting with an HTS code and duty rate update project. 
  • Conduct ad hoc research projects as they arise. 

The Ideal Candidate 

  • Highly proactive and solutions-oriented 
  • Exceptionally organized and detail-focused 
  • Able to work independently with minimal supervision 
  • A strong communicator with excellent business writing skills 
  • Comfortable handling sensitive and confidential information 
  • Analytical, resourceful, and commercially aware 
  • Calm under pressure and capable of managing competing priorities 
  • Relentless in follow-through and accountability 
  • Most importantly, you know how to distinguish between information and insight 

 What Success Looks Like 

  • The executive feels genuinely in the know without being pulled into every thread. Deliver concise, high-quality daily executive briefings. 
  • A daily digest that consistently separates decisions, FYIs, exceptions, and logistics statuses.  
  • Create visibility across projects, priorities, and business initiatives. 
  • Freight and logistics exceptions are caught and flagged before they become problems.  
  • Growing ownership of inbox filtering and filing as trust is established. 
  • Significantly reduce administrative burden on the executive. 
  • Become a trusted business partner and key contributor to executive effectiveness. 
  • Bachelor's degree in business, Commerce, Operations, Supply Chain, Communications, or a related field. 
  • Minimum 3 years' experience supporting senior leaders, founders, CEOs, managing directors, or executive teams. 
  • Experience working with international clients, multinational organizations, or global teams. 
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Excel, Teams, Word, PowerPoint, and SharePoint). 
  • Experience with ERP systems such as NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar platforms. 
  • Experience with PM tools (Microsoft Planner, Asana, Click up, Monday.com Trello) 
  • Proven experience coordinating projects, managing workflows, and tracking business initiatives. 
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills. 

Preferred Experience 

  • Direct support of a CEO, Founder, President, or Managing Director. 
  • Experience supporting US-based executives or organizations. 
  • Exposure to logistics, manufacturing, distribution, supply chain, or operations environments. 
  • Experience creating executive reports, dashboards, and management updates. 
  • Advanced Excel and business reporting skills.
