Overview

Executive Personal Assistant to the CEO

Remote | South Africa (Part-time to start, moving to full-time)

Burst Digital is a fast-growing marketing agency led by a relentless, high-performing CEO. We’re looking for an exceptional Personal Assistant — not someone who needs instruction, but someone who creates structure from chaos, finds answers before questions are asked, and demands excellence from themselves in everything they do.

If you’re a perfectionist , thrive in a fast-moving, high-pressure environment , and find satisfaction in executing flawlessl — this is for you.

Who You Are

You are the CEO’s right hand — an extension of his mind and priorities. You don’t wait for direction; you define what needs to happen , create briefs, research thoroughly, and see tasks through to perfection. You love learning, think critically, and get a genuine kick out of solving complex problems fast.

You’re organised to a fault, professionally assertive, and understand that “done” isn’t enough — it has to be done brilliantly .

What You’ll Do

Act as an extension of the CEO : take raw ideas, voice notes, and scattered conversations and turn them into clear, actionable briefs. Communicate effectively with designers, developers, and marketers to ensure results align with the vision.
Operate independently : anticipate needs, identify gaps, and create your own tasks and processes that move goals forward — without waiting to be told what to do.
Conduct advanced research : everything from international tax and legal frameworks to marketing trends, competitor landscapes, and business opportunities — utilising AI (especially ChatGPT) to extract, interpret, and present insight concisely.
AI-driven productivity : suggest and implement automations or AI tools to enhance the CEO’s efficiency across personal and professional workflows.
Contract and document oversight : review agreements, proposals, and materials with precision and professionalism.
Organisation & management : oversee reminders, follow-ups, and task management across the team, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.
Creative problem-solving : help conceptualise new business ideas, systems, and strategies — bringing a sharp, curious, and innovative mind to the table.
Flexible work ethic : you’ll work when needed — sometimes outside typical hours — to ensure momentum never slows.

What You Bring

Minimum 3 years supporting a CEO, founder, or senior executive.

A marketing background (agency experience strongly preferred).

Exceptional research skills — you dig deep, verify sources, and deliver actionable conclusions fast.

Outstanding communication — you can write clearly, think strategically, and represent the CEO professionally in any context.

Impeccable organisation — you’re obsessed with efficiency, deadlines, and details.

Tech-savvy and AI-fluent — ChatGPT, automation tools, Google Workspace, Slack, project platforms (e.g. Monday, Notion, ClickUp, Teams).

Resilient under pressure — fast-paced, high-demand environments excite you, not scare you.

A long-term mindset — this is a permanent role with significant growth potential over 5+ years.

Above all : you never settle for “good enough.”

Why Join Burst Digital

Work directly with a visionary CEO and help shape a rapidly growing global agency.

Be part of an ambitious, creative, and excellence-driven culture.

Fully remote with flexible working hours.

Every day is different — you’ll be challenged, trusted, and constantly learning.

Do Not Apply If

You need constant supervision or detailed instructions.

You prefer predictable, repetitive work.

You’re uncomfortable with ambiguity, learning fast, or being held to an elite standard.

If you’ve read this far and feel a spark — you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

Apply only if you’re ready to operate at the highest level.
