EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT

FD Naturales is a Lagos-based holistic wellness brand

The role
The Founder is a visionary with a fast mind, high standards and many ideas in motion. We're looking for an Executive Assistant who can build with her, understand her thought process, bring structure to it, and make sure ideas are well-executed.

This is not a "fetch and carry" role. You will be a trusted right hand, a thinking partner and a co-executor.

What you'll do

• Manage the Founder's calendar, inbox, priorities and follow-ups so nothing slips
• Turn ideas, voice notes and meetings into clear action plans, timelines and trackers
• Research suppliers, markets, products, partnerships and wellness topics, and present clear summaries and recommendations
• Coordinate across product development, content, events, courses and retail
• Liaise with staff, vendors and clients on the Founder's behalf, with professionalism.
• Prepare briefs, documents, decks and meeting notes
• Plan travel, events and sourcing trips
• Quality-check output against FD Naturales brand and ethical standards before it reaches the Founder
• Build and maintain simple systems and SOPs that reduce her day-to-day load
• Handle confidential business and personal matters with absolute discretion

Ideal Candidate

• 2+ years' experience as an executive or personal assistant, or operations or project coordinator, ideally with a founder or in a growing business
• Highly organised, proactive and self-driven. You don't wait to be chased
• A sharp researcher and clear writer with excellent attention to detail
• Confident enough to respectfully challenge, ask good questions and offer your own view
• Emotionally intelligent, calm under pressure and comfortable with a fast-changing pace
• Trustworthy, with strong integrity and a high personal standard
• Proficient with Google Workspace/Microsoft Office, project tools, and comfortable using AI tools
• Genuinely interested in wellness, natural living and African heritage (a big plus)

Nice to have

• Experience in wellness, FMCG, food, education, hospitality or events
• Basic bookkeeping or budgeting knowledge
• Social media or content operations experience
• Experience managing international sourcing or logistics

Not a fit if you prefer being told exactly what to do, avoid giving honest feedback, or see mediocrity as "good enough."
