[Hiring] Founder's Assistant @Talent Shore

Role Description

We are looking for a Founder's Assistant to take ownership of the workstreams that most depend on the founder's time and judgement: his inbox, his diary, candidate outreach, and acquisition sourcing. This isn't a traditional admin role. You won't be waiting for instructions or working through a task list handed to you each morning. You'll run each of these areas with genuine independence, make sensible calls within clear boundaries, and bring the founder in only when a real decision is needed. You'll be his right hand — owning the process end to end, from first contact to final recommendation, with the trust and the room to do it your way.

Qualifications

• An Owner, Not a Task-Taker — You take ownership of outcomes, not just tasks.
• A Confident, Clear Writer — Excellent written English and strong copywriting instincts.
• Discreet by Instinct — Treat sensitive information carefully without being reminded to.
• Organised & Detail-Driven — Strong organisation, attention to detail, and tracker discipline.
• Experienced in Executive Support — Comfortable managing inboxes, diaries, or executive support tasks.
• Relentless on Follow-Up — Strong follow-up discipline; you don't let things go cold.
• Always Looking to Take On More — You look for ways to take work off the founder's plate.
• Bonus Points — LinkedIn sourcing, recruitment, or Sales Navigator experience; supporting a founder, CEO, or senior leader; researching businesses or acquisitions; or familiarity with e-commerce, consumer, health, wellness, or food brands.

Requirements

• Inbox & diary — triaging and replying to routine email, flagging what matters, and running the founder's calendar end to end.
• Recruitment & headhunting — sourcing and approaching candidates on LinkedIn for open roles, managing replies and follow-ups, building a live candidate pipeline, coordinating interviews, and shortlisting with a clear recommendation attached.
• Deal flow & acquisition sourcing — exploring business broker sites and marketplaces, screening opportunities against agreed criteria, drafting and sending warm approach letters to owners and brokers, and maintaining a live pipeline of acquisition targets.
• Trackers & visibility — keeping both the candidate and acquisition pipelines accurate and current.

Benefits

• Make this role your own in a fast-growing, ambitious, and values-driven company.
• Work directly with the founder, with genuine trust and the room to run.
• Be part of a mission-driven brand that's transforming the health food industry.
• Competitive salary & benefits, with real opportunities to grow and take on more.
• Remote-first flexibility and a warm, community-minded team.
