Our job is to make growth happen.

Our culture

Client success is our success. Period.

Growth mindset. We're hungry to learn and improve.

No job is too small. We support each other and JFDI.

Take full responsibility for every outcome. No excuses.

No ego. The best idea wins, regardless of who it comes from.

Obsess over results. We're here to make a measurable impact.

Radical candour. We give and receive honest feedback to fuel growth.

We’re data-obsessed. We let numbers, not opinions, guide our decisions.

The role

We’re hiring a founder’s assistant to work closely with Aperture’s founder.

This is a high-trust, high-context role for someone who is exceptionally organised, discreet, thoughtful and calm under pressure.

The founder moves across clients, team, events, sales, partnerships, speaking, content, travel, personal commitments and a lot of open loops. This person will help create space around her by taking ownership of the logistics, details, decisions, follow-ups and systems that make life and work run smoothly.

This is not a passive admin role.

It is a role for someone who wants to be across everything. Someone who can see what is happening, understand what matters, spot what is missing and make sure the right things actually get done.

You will be involved in both business and personal operations. That means managing diaries, inboxes, travel, events, follow-ups, supplier conversations, team coordination, personal appointments, founder logistics and the small details that make everything feel calmer, cleaner and more considered.

The right person will love making things seamless. They will notice what needs to happen before it becomes urgent. They will be able to take a loose request, understand the context, make a good judgement call and get it done without turning every task into another decision.

Researching venues, restaurants, suppliers, gifts, merch, travel options and experiences

Founder content and LinkedIn

You will support the founder’s external presence, especially on LinkedIn.

This includes:

Helping organise ideas, draft posts, manage content calendars and keep content moving

Turning rough thoughts, notes, voice notes or conversations into clear drafts

Helping track speaking opportunities, press, partnerships, community moments and founder-led content ideas

Making sure the founder’s external presence feels consistent, sharp and active without becoming another source of admin
