Magic

About the Client
A New York–based, early-stage startup in the e-commerce and IT space is building AI-powered tools that help individuals, households, and solo entrepreneurs live more sustainably. The founder is a busy operator balancing company building and home life and needs reliable, proactive support. The company values privacy, impact, and execution, and is growing a community of early adopters while refining its product and operations.
Why does this role exist?
The founder urgently needs a proactive, reliable assistant to take ownership of recurring personal, administrative, social media, and e-commerce tasks without extensive hand-holding. Previous freelancers have been unreliable or inconsistent, and the current premium service is too expensive for the required scope. This full-time role exists to stabilize operations, improve execution speed and consistency, and free the founder to focus on high-priority work.
