Description

About Us Harza Group builds and scales direct-to-consumer brands in health, wellness, and lifestyle. Our flagship brand, Rejuvacare, serves over 400,000 customers who trust us with their health and their money, and it is one of several brands we are building under the Harza Group umbrella. The company has scaled 12x in a single year to nearly 150 people across 15+ countries. We are remote-first, async-first, and hold a high standard of accountability across everything we do. Our Creative Office sits at the center of how our brands look, sound, and show up in the world, and it is led by a Creative Director who operates at the intersection of brand building, content, and business strategy. The Role This is a high-trust, high-visibility Executive and Personal Assistant role supporting Harza Group's Creative Director directly. It is one of the most senior support roles in the organization, and it is built for someone who wants real proximity to how a fast-growing creative and business operation actually runs, not a role buried in administrative process. The Creative Director's work does not sit neatly inside business hours or inside a single city. Between shooting days, brand launches, partner meetings, travel for content and press, and the ordinary demands of running a life at that pace, the calendar changes constantly, and it changes for real reasons: a flight moved up, a shoot extended a day, a personal commitment that needs to happen around a work trip rather than the other way around. Your job is to sit inside that motion and make it work, not to manage it from a distance. Concretely, this means the line between professional and personal support is intentional, not a grey area you will need to negotiate. In the same week you might be restructuring a travel itinerary around a last-minute shoot location change, coordinating with a creative team on deliverables and deadlines, and separately making sure a personal errand, appointment, or household matter is handled before it becomes a problem. Both halves of the role carry equal weight. Neither is the exception to the other. Travel is a defining feature of this role, not an occasional part of it. You should expect to travel internationally and extensively alongside the principal, often with a few days of notice or less, sometimes for multi-week stretches, across time zones and continents. You are the person who makes sure that when the schedule shifts at the last minute, which it will, nothing falls through: documents are in order, the right car is booked, the right bag made the flight, and the principal never has to think about any of it. Discretion is the foundation the entire role is built on, not a line item in a requirements list. You will be exposed to confidential business decisions, unreleased creative work, and genuinely personal matters, often in the same conversation. The expectation is simple and absolute: what happens in this role stays in this role, during your time here and after it. People who thrive in this position tend to describe themselves as calm under pressure, quietly resourceful, and comfortable being trusted with real information without needing to talk about it. Success in this role looks like the principal being able to stop thinking about logistics entirely, because they trust that you already have it handled, and often anticipated it before they raised it. Over time, that trust expands: you go from executing what is asked of you to being the person whose judgment is relied on by default. What You Will Own Executive Support and Calendar Ownership. Owning the principal's calendar end to end: scheduling, prioritization, conflict resolution, and same-day rebuilding when plans change. Managing inbox triage and correspondence, preparing the principal for meetings with the right context in hand, and following through on commitments so nothing depends on someone else remembering it.
