Want to work with and learn from experienced entrepreneurs and marketers?
Do you pride yourself on keeping yourself (and others) organized when there’s lots going on?
Or sometimes think of yourself as a mind-reader (meaning, you’re great at reading people and situations to anticipate what they need)?
We’re looking for a reliable and experienced assistant who’s tech-savvy, and GREAT at juggling several things at once.
If you’re organized, a great communicator, can keep multiple plates spinning … and can get down with slightly-obscure nerd references – we’d love to meet you!
About us…
We’re Branko Mijatovic and Rachel Mazza – professional marketers and business owners.
We’ve been using our marketing and business skills to work remotely and travel the world for almost a decade now – living and working from amazing places like Thailand, Portugal, Australia, and more!
Branko makes his living as a professional sales copywriter for the financial publishing industry, and Rachel runs an online training center and community for creative marketers.
Now we’re putting down roots and growing our businesses from our new home base on Knoxville, Tennessee.
About You…
We’re working hard to grow and expand our businesses. Sitting in that business-owner role and developing ideas for growth requires 2 things: Time and Space
Your job will be to help us free up more of our time, bandwidth, and brainspace so we can focus our time on high-level activities that help us move quickly toward our goals, and stay out of the day-to-day operations as much as possible.
You’ll be our go-to point of contact and liaison – helping us minimize the time we spend on the phone, in email, managing our calendar, organizing our tasks, and doing administrative work
Requirements:
- You’re a Knoxville local! (or near to it)
- This role is largely “work from home” and has flexible hours – but you will need to be available for in-person meetings, errands, and events in Knoxville, TN.
- You have reliable (and fast) internet connection
- We live online and are always jammin’ on video-chat – so please ditch the dial-up
- You’re available for 10-15 hours /week during normal business hours
- You’ve got a valid driver’s license and reliable transportation
- You’ve got a deep understanding of social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Youtube, etc.
- Familiar with using Gsuite – Google docs, Gdrive, Google Calendar, Gmail
- Experience creating graphics and images in Canva or similar programs
- Experience creating pages and posts on WordPress and Clickfunnels
Here are a few things that would make you a no-brainer “Hell Yah!” candidate for this role:
- Defending deadlines and helping things keep to “the schedule” puts you in your happy place
- You’ve worked as a personal assistant or executive assistant in the past
- You’re self-directed, self-motivated and can Google your way to most answers you don’t know (and are willing to ask for specific help when you need it)
- You’re professional and polite in your communication, and can represent us as such (even if “Angry Tuesday Lady” really DOES deserve to hear what you’re really thinking)
- You can handle confidential information with care
- Proofreading and double checking your work gives you the warm fuzzies
- You’re comfortable proposing a change when you think something can be done more effectively or efficiently
- You’re hard-working – we enjoy what we do and have fun doing it. We also get a lot done very quickly and will need you to as well.
- And most importantly – you’re chill and easy to work with! (We do like to have fun while we take over the world)
Job Scope and Responsibilities
**Day to day needs will vary, but here are some examples of the types of tasks we need your help with.
- Managing our email inboxes and acting as our “virtual gatekeeper”
- Coordinating and managing our calendars
- Helping with project research
- Liaising and managing vendor communication
– (coordinate and communicate with our accountant, insurance agent, etc.) - Helping manage our rental properties
– (call and book in a plumber if a tenant needs one, or manage our Air Bnb booking requests) - Travel and appointment booking
– (book plane flights, make restaurant reservations, book in a haircut, etc.) - Personal errands around the Knoxville area
- Repurposing the content we write to share it across our social media platforms
- Help us keep our websites updated
– publish a blog post, update content on our web pages, or update a WordPress plugin
Details/Benefits
- Part-time = 10-15 hours /week with opportunity to grow into a larger role
- Starting pay = $12-$20 /hour depending on previous experience and existing skills
- 30-60 day (fully paid) trial period to make sure we’re a good fit

- Access to high-value training materials and courses
- Love where you work!
- Our goal is for you to love your job, play to your strengths, and learn more here than you will in a year anywhere else.
- We don’t talk about our values, we are obsessed with living them. We’re constant learners. We communicate with intent. We practice extreme ownership. We’re better as a team. We focus on what’s possible.
- Ability to do work YOUR way – We value the need for doing uninterrupted, “deep work”
- Room for growth – We’re financially thriving and showing consistent annual growth.
