Personal Business Partner Jobs in Home Based at Marketing Pros
Full Job Description
Description
This is not a normal job.
It’s a rare opportunity to work directly with a founder at race-pace building, selling, scaling, travelling, and thinking across multiple ventures. ️
Fred, the co-founder and CEO of Lone Rider (and an investor-operator in a handful of adventure-gear spin-offs), needs a Personal Business Partner who can keep up and keep him ahead.
Who is this for
You’re early in your career and have serious ambitions to run your own show.
But you know you need to learn.
One way is to start, iterate, and work it out—this is a solid plan, but we have a better one.
Work closely with someone who has been there, done it, and got the T-shirt.
Working hard to assist an elite entrepreneur is the best way to learn – this is your chance.
Let’s go!
The Role
Protect Fred’s focus– sort the inbox, defend focus time in the calendar, draft replies so small questions never block big ones.
Stay on top of projects – maintain clear trackers in Google Sheets, monitor deadlines, and flag risks before they become issues.
Turn meetings into motion – join key calls, capture action points, and follow up with the people who own them.
Build simple systems – create shared Google Sheets and lightweight dashboards so information is organised and easy to find.
Keep personal logistics on track– flights, visas, the odd insurance renewal—about 10 % of your time.
The Person
High agency: You run toward problems and deliver solutions without waiting for step‑by‑step instructions.
A natural communicator: Your Telegram updates, emails, and quick Looms land clearly, across time zones and personalities.
Tech‑hungry: Google Sheets formulas, Notion databases, Zapier zaps.
Comfortable in the fast lane: Plans change, flights move, suppliers ping at odd hours—you stay calm and keep the wheels turning.
Eager to learn from a founder: You see this role as a stepping stone in scaling a global brand
Bonus points: you ride, wrench, or at least binge bike‑build videos on YouTube.
What’s in it for you
Day-to-day access to a growth-obsessed founder
Impact across product, ops, marketing, and supply chain—not just calendars
