Hi there! I’m Nankhonde, the Founder of Zanga Metrics.

I started this company because I saw a huge gap in how leadership and talent are managed across Africa.

We’ve built a platform that offers HR tools and leadership assessment solutions to help organizations across the continent identify, develop, and retain their best talent. It’s all about helping businesses grow through great people.

We’ve recently pivoted to a franchise model where we now license our software and certification to HR and talent professionals all over Africa. 

This shift has opened up a lot of exciting opportunities, and as we continue to grow, we’re building a team of smart, proactive people who are just as passionate about driving impact as we are.

We’re looking for an Executive Assistant - someone who’s organized, proactive, and experienced in supporting senior leaders. 

You’ll be my right hand in helping run the office, keeping things on track, and giving me space to focus on the bigger picture.

You’ll thrive if you’re detail-oriented, tech-savvy, and confident in taking initiative.

Your day-to-day will include:

📧 Manage my inbox and respond to routine requests
📅 Handle calendar management and schedule meetings
📌 Track action points from the team and follow up for updates
📝 Prepare me for meetings, speaking engagements, training sessions, and coaching calls
📣 Follow up with team members and ensure timely decisions are made
📊 Draft basic reports and support with light data tasks

Working Hours ⏰:  This is a full-time role and while our team works across time zones, some overlap with EST (New York) and CAT (Central Africa Time) will be needed.

To excel in this role, you need to have: 

✅ 3+ years of experience supporting executives or managing an office

✅ Strong time management and multitasking abilities

✅ Great written and verbal communication in business English

✅ Ability to use productivity tools and work digitally

✅ Basic data analytics knowledge

✅ High emotional intelligence and good judgment

✅ Ability to challenge ideas and offer thoughtful alternatives

✅ Initiative and independence

✅ Extensive usage of AI tools and software

✅ Conducting detailed research & doing basic bookkeeping

Brownie points for:

⭐ Ability to anticipate needs and think a few steps ahead

⭐ Experience working with a fast-paced, remote team

⭐ Familiarity with SaaS or tech-driven businesses

You’re the kind of person who thrives in a busy environment and stays calm under pressure. You’re professional, punctual, and organized - always keeping things moving without needing to be micromanaged. 

You’re a team player but also confident working independently, and you’re not afraid to speak up or suggest a better way of doing something. 

Basically, you’re the kind of person who just “gets it” and makes life easier for everyone around you!

What’s in it for you?

💰 $1,500 – $2,000/month*
