We're looking for a part-time Executive & Research Assistant to support the founder of Daisy Skin, a skincare brand launching in Egypt and MENA, and Alexmed Pharmacy.

Manage the founder's calendar and prepare a weekly review of progress and priorities
Attend meetings and site visits in Alexandria and Cairo, and take notes and action items
Organize files, contracts, invoices, and price lists
Requirements
Bachelor's degree, preferably from the Faculty of Pharmacy or Faculty of Science (chemistry, biochemistry, or microbiology); Commerce or Business graduates with strong research skills are also welcome
Ready to move between Alexandria and Cairo as the work requires, including short trips at short notice; travel expenses are covered
Strong researcher who uses credible sources and verifies every number
Highly organized and reliable: follows up without being reminded
