Job Description

* Support process improvements and help roll out new ways of working
What you'll need
* Experience in an operations, coordination or administrative support role
* Strong written and spoken English
* Familiarity with Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, and comfort learning new systems
* Well organised, with the ability to juggle several tasks without losing detail
* A reliable fibre internet connection, a working laptop and a quiet place to work
What's on offer
* Salary of R29 000 per month
* 100% remote — work from anywhere in South Africa
* Working hours of 09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST), Monday to Friday

Tips for South African Applicants
Timezone Advantage
South Africa (SAST, UTC+2) overlaps well with European business hours and has a few hours of overlap with US East Coast. Mention your timezone flexibility in your application.
Salary in Context
Even without a listed salary, international remote roles typically pay 2-3x more than equivalent local positions in South Africa due to the exchange rate advantage.
Application Tips
Tailor your CV to international standards — use a clean format, highlight remote work experience, and include your English proficiency. Many SA applicants succeed by emphasising their strong work ethic and cultural adaptability.
Load Shedding Preparedness
If you're applying for a remote role, having a backup power solution (UPS, inverter, or generator) and mobile data as a backup internet connection shows employers you're prepared for South Africa's infrastructure challenges.
