About the Company You'll Be Working With

You'll be supporting the leadership of a fast-growing, Berlin-based direct-to-consumer fashion brand with a bold identity, a loyal global following, and serious momentum behind it. This is a founder-led business at an exciting stage of growth — dynamic, fast-paced, and deeply driven by vision and culture.

The Opportunity

We're looking for a sharp, highly organised German-Speaking Executive Virtual Assistant to support the CEO and co-owner directly — on a part-time basis of 20 hours per week.

This is a role for someone who thrives on making things run smoothly behind the scenes. You'll be the person the CEO relies on to keep her world organised — managing her calendar, coordinating travel, handling correspondence, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. You won't just be completing tasks; you'll be anticipating needs, thinking ahead, and acting as a trusted right hand.

Fluent, professional German is essential — this is a German-speaking executive and environment. Strong English is equally important. If you're discreet, proactive, and genuinely excellent at what you do, this is a role where that will be noticed and valued.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Managing and maintaining the CEO's calendar — scheduling, prioritising, and resolving conflicts with care and foresight

  • Coordinating travel arrangements, including flights, accommodation, itineraries, and logistics

  • Handling correspondence and communications on behalf of the CEO — professionally and with appropriate discretion

  • Supporting the preparation and organisation of meetings, agendas, and follow-ups

  • Managing day-to-day administrative and organisational tasks to keep operations running smoothly

  • Anticipating needs and proactively flagging priorities, deadlines, or potential issues

  • Assisting with ad hoc tasks and projects as required by the CEO and co-owner

What We're Looking For

  • Native or fluent German speaker — essential; this is a German-speaking leadership environment

  • Professional-level English — strong written and verbal communication required

  • Additional languages are a welcome bonus

  • Proven experience as an executive assistant, personal assistant, or virtual assistant — ideally supporting senior leadership

  • Exceptional organisational skills — you manage complexity without losing the details

  • Discreet, reliable, and trustworthy — you handle sensitive information with professionalism

  • Proactive by nature — you don't wait to be told; you anticipate and act

  • Comfortable working independently in a remote environment and managing your own time effectively

  • Tech-savvy and comfortable with digital tools for scheduling, communication, and task management

What's On Offer

  • Competitive hourly rate (discussed during the interview process)

  • Fully remote position — work from anywhere

  • Part-time role — 20 hours per week

  • Paid annual leave

  • A front-row seat at a fast-growing, founder-led fashion brand

  • Supportive, high-energy team culture

  • Access to The Global Talent Co.'s wider professional community of 25,000+ global professionals

At The Global Talent Co., we believe great talent exists everywhere. We're proud to connect professionals across the globe with companies that value what they bring.

What started as a vision to support tech companies in need of affordable and skilled marketing talent has evolved into The Global Talent Co., a pioneering recruitment agency focused on remote staffing solutions. Founded by entrepreneurial spirits Roman Kirsch and Brett Stapper, the company was birthed from the realization that many US and EU tech companies were struggling to find capable marketing professionals without incurring exorbitant costs. The Global Talent Co. quickly established its mission: to provide exclusive access to the top 5% of marketing professionals from South Africa, a country rich in talent and cultural compatibility with Western markets.

Our process is meticulously crafted to ensure quality and efficiency. We thoughtfully vet candidates through a rigorous selection process that includes skills-based assessments and interviews. This guarantees that only the most capable marketers, who not only have the right experience but are also fluent in English and aware of market dynamics, join our talent pool. As a result, we deliver high-caliber professionals to our clients in the tech industry who can seamlessly integrate into their teams and bolster their marketing efforts.
