ABOUT THE ROLE
As we grow, we're looking for adaptable people with a clear area of strength who are also comfortable working across functions when needed.

• Analytical but practical, with exceptional follow-through
• Comfortable working across departments and driving projects from idea to completion
• Based in Cape Town or surrounding areas

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

• Translate company priorities and ideas into structured, actionable plans
• Develop, track and report on KPIs, dashboards and trackers
• Build and improve systems, workflows, processes and SOPs
• Coordinate across teams and hold external vendors accountable
• Run meeting rhythms and keep priorities and actions on track
• Manage deadlines and deliverables, identifying and resolving bottlenecks
• Support the rollout of new initiatives and create visibility across projects
• Help establish repeatable systems as the company scales
• Keep the wider business aligned, accountable and moving

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU?

• A high-trust, high-impact role working directly alongside the founder
• Real ownership over how the business runs day to day
• The chance to help shape the systems and structure of a growing brand from the ground up
• Genuine variety across strategy, execution and problem-solving

OUR CULTURE
Eco Nappii is built on care for babies, for families and for the team behind the brand. It's a founder-led, fast-moving business where initiative and follow-through are valued more than job titles. If you're proactive, dependable and want to be part of a growing brand doing things differently, we'd love to hear from you.
