This is a full-time role supporting a sole proprietor. The nature of the work requires a high level of collaboration, confidentiality, and accountability. Work hours are flexible between 1:00 PM to 10:00 PM or 2:00 PM to 11:00 PM, depending on workload and coordination requirements.

As this is a dedicated, full-time position, the selected candidate is expected to exclusively perform tasks for this role and must not engage in any other employment or freelance work during the period of engagement.

Specific tasks, timelines, and client processes will be discussed in detail once the candidate is shortlisted.
