Logistics Support & Executive Assistant

About the job: This is a high-ownership hybrid position split into two core areas of focus. 60% Logistics Coordination & Support: Tracking premium shipments, assisting with customs clearing, and managing meticulous client communication. 40% Executive Assistant Support: Working directly alongside the founder to streamline business operations, manage schedules, and execute key business tasks. Key Responsibilities: Coordinate premium logistics for high-value, fragile cargo, fine art, and designer items. Assist with customs clearing documentation and compliance processes via SARS systems. Maintain meticulous communication with galleries, elite collectors, and international art fair coordinators. Provide direct EA support to the founder, including calendar management and business operations. Take full independent ownership of operational tasks handed over by the executive team. Manage tight logistics timelines calmly and efficiently under peak seasonal pressure. Key Requirements: 2 - 4 years in logistics, clearing & forwarding, freight coordination, or operations support. Fully bilingual in English and Afrikaans (excellent spoken and written proficiency is non-negotiable). Valid driver's license and reliable own transport are essential. Willingness to learn is more important than current systems knowledge (ShipShape experience is an advantageous bonus, but not required). High loyalty, exceptional reliability, a calm-under-pressure attitude, and a sharp eye for detail. Comfortable putting in extra hours during seasonal peaks or when high-stakes shipments require it.
