Me: I’m Simon, the founder of
Better Creating, a tech & productivity YouTube channel. I create powerful Notion templates, review tech products & share strategies that help my audience build a more organised and fulfilling life!
You: A passionate all-rounder with a knack for content, community engagement, and managing ops, ready to take on responsibilities and drive Better Creating to new heights.
💼 The Role
I’m looking for a passionate and versatile individual to join Better Creating as a Junior Chief of Staff. This isn’t an Executive Assistant role – it's a unique opportunity to help take Better Creating to the next level by owning everything outside of the content creation.
Initially, you'll manage our YouTube channel, support in managing our Notion-based business initiatives, and foster a vibrant community on Discord. You'll drive growth through strategic planning, operational support, and community engagement.
Eventually, you'll take on more responsibility, developing strategies for long-term growth, leading key projects, and helping steer Better Creating toward new, bigger opportunities.
If you’re ready to help me drive Better Creating to new heights, I’d love to hear from you.
This is a freelance contractor position.
