Personal Operations Assistant
About The Position
Steel City is looking for a part-time Personal Operations Assistant who is extremely resourceful, organized, and loves figuring things out and getting things done. This role is not a traditional Executive Assistant position. Instead of managing calendars or inboxes, you will be responsible for tackling problems, projects, and loose ends, seeing them through to completion. Responsibilities may include vetting contractors, researching vendors, obtaining quotes, handling returns, resolving service issues, scheduling repairs, researching purchases, and following up on unfinished tasks. The primary goal is to alleviate the owner's workload and ensure tasks are fully completed.
