Personal assistant for a serial startup entrepreneur

Salary Competitive

Hi! My name is Dima, I'm a startup entrepreneur, CEO / advisor at 2 startups, bookworm, longevity/aging research fan, soon-to-be PhD in self-managing organizations (more about me below). I am looking for a personal assistant to outsource a number of tasks that I don't have time to do. This is an attractive opportunity for people who are good at getting sh*t done, looking for a part-time job, want to learn about startup entrepreneurship, and develop themselves.


Get to know me: 

  • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dimasyrotkin/

  • Podcast 1: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0aDxiFwCxt0jgxPtN8v1og

  • Podcast 2: https://youtu.be/f5wPEaMy2n4

  • Don’t be shy to google me, I’ve probably left a lot of traces in the internet :)


I can offer:

  • Learning: I believe you will get a chance to learn a lot about entrepreneurship, business, sales, marketing and get quite some unexpected learnings

  • 20 hours of work per week with minimal Finnish salary

  • I can coach or mentor you (on topics that can be personal too, not necessarily professional)

  • Access to my network of corporate decision-makers, entrepreneurs, etc.


Starting work date: 

Ideally around 24.8 for a trial week, and then officially starting in September, not very strict with the dates though.


Required:

  • Fluent English

  • Available 20 hours per week, with a high degree of flexibility but at least 10 hours must fall within 9.00-17.00 Monday-Friday times

  • Able to work in Helsinki at least 10 hours per week, and meet sometimes at my work or home office (Kallio and Kalasatama)

  • Possibility to stick around in the job for at least 1 year

  • Able to get boring work done, efficiently

  • Being organized, conscientious

  • Being responsive in communication

  • Able to learn how to use digital tools quickly (i.e. LinkedHelper, Tilda)

  • Able to research and learn quickly i.e. looking for available startup events online or doing research on how to use content reposting best with different channels

  • Able to give me feedback, especially negative

  • Honesty and integrity


Bonus points for:

  • Fluent Finnish

  • Copywriting skills

  • Cold calling skills or at least lack of fear to develop the skill

  • Design skills

  • Having similar interests and values with me, able to have an interesting conversation

  • Self-awareness and maturity, being reflected about own life, values, dreams, fears, strengths, etc


Examples of tasks you might be doing, the list is not at all exhaustive:

  • Reposting SoMe content on various channels

  • Putting social media content together (design) with the idea provided by me

  • Going through the list of conference participants and sending a copy-paste invite to relevant ones

  • Cold calling

  • Cold emailing

  • Copywriting with the core idea provided by me

  • Research: looking for people, events, companies, information, etc


My current projects which I will probably ask you to support me in:

  • Panda Training - https://panda-training.com/home4

  • GrowthClub - https://www.growthclub.online/?siteRevision=620

  • PhD in self-managing organizations at Aalto University

  • Personal content and articles, i.e. book reviews (see my LinkedIn)

  • A couple of other projects related to hackathons and education are currently brewing.


Application process:

  • The applications will be reviewed on an ongoing basis, so apply as soon as possible. If this application is open, it means you still have a chance.

  • I added fields for LinkedIn, video, and CV submission, but you be creative and choose what you want to submit. I will probably prioritize applications that have more than just a LinkedIn profile as those will give me more information. I will then screen applications and invite some people for a coffee.

  • I will read every application. I can’t promise to provide feedback, but I will do my best.

Working at
Pandatron

Pandatron is a Helsinki-based early-stage coaching automation startup on a mission to help people become better versions of themselves week by week. Our vision is a world where leaders see a 10X return from investing in their people. Most people lack the tools and knowledge to develop themselves and their well-being systematically. The same is true of companies and their approaches to helping their employees grow and prosper. By chatting with our Micro-Coaching bot for only 30 minutes per week, everyone can crystallize what matters most and take immediate steps in realizing their goals. All natively in their normal workspace without additional apps. Using a combination of AI and evidence-based coaching methods, Pandatron makes the usually expensive service of business coaching accessible to all - not just top management.
