Who will I be working for?
We are an Irish couple who emigrated to Portugal in January 2021

We own 2 businesses in Ireland which have grown a lot in recent years and we need assistance staying on top of the workload and continue the growth.

The businesses are a software company and a retail company (unrelated to each other). Between both there are approx 40+ staff. As a result we have a lot of meetings, administrative tasks and organisational activities where we need help.

We are currently based in Foz do Arelho with our baby boy. We have a full time assistant for our boy.


What will the role entail?
In short, we are seeking a self motivated person who can look to free up our time to:

1. Focus on growth activities for the businesses
2. Spend quality family time

We need a person who can protect our time from distractions, help prioritise important tasks/meetings and and take over other activities which do not require us to complete directly.

We need a team member who understands business and can make decisions on our behalf (following agreed criteria).

Regarding technology, we don’t expect you to know all the apps/technology we use, but there is an expectation that you can figure out how to use general business apps.

Some examples of tasks would include:
● Calendar management
● Time tracking for projects
● Flight/travel arrangement
● Manage personal appointments (health, physio, hair, etc)
● Handle Portugal Details (ViaVerde, bank, mobile phones, houses, etc)
● Car administration (tax, insurance, servicing, valeting)
● Payroll administration
● Expense entry
● Accounts support
● Research topics (school, dental, health, house repairs and improvements, etc)
● General house assistance (arrange cleaners, shopping, pay bills)

What are the working conditions (eg location, hours, etc)?
We’re based in Foz do Arelho. Ideally we need a person who can work from an office at our house during a set of hours. We can be somewhat flexible on working hours to suit the right individual, for example 7am-3pm, 8am-4pm or 9am-5pm.

All computers and phones will be provided as part of the role.

Other Requirements
- Good English (spoken and written)
- Driving license
- Experience in administration or organisation focused roles

What is the pay?
€14,000-20,000 annually depending on experience, paid monthly
