About Us
Teraa Living, a Dubai-based conscious lifestyle company, is expanding its premium FMCG, wellness, and e-commerce brands. Our brand, Happy Earth Organic, specializes in clean-label food and beverages, including organic coconut water and premium dates. We are a dynamic, founder-led business seeking a highly organized, detail-oriented individual with a knack for numbers, comfort with AI tools, and a strong follow-up ethic.
Role Purpose
This position is designed to significantly reduce the founder’s daily workload by managing various organizational, administrative, and content-related tasks. The role involves coordinating emails, meetings, follow-ups, content ideation, social media drafts, basic financial tracking, digital file management, supplier communication, product research, and action item tracking. This is a hands-on coordination role, not a specialized accounting, social media, or receptionist position. The ideal candidate will be adept at organizing, writing, following up, thinking critically, and ensuring tasks progress efficiently.
Key Responsibilities
- Founder Coordination: Efficiently manage and organize founder's emails across Outlook and Gmail, categorizing them by priority and follow-up needs. Maintain the founder's calendar, schedule meetings, and set reminders. Attend meetings as required, taking detailed notes and transforming them into actionable tasks. Proactively follow up with team members, suppliers, consultants, and external partners to ensure pending items are addressed without constant prompting. Maintain a daily and weekly tracker for all founder follow-up items.
- Accounts/Admin Support: Maintain straightforward trackers for payments, receivables, invoices, expenses, and outstanding documents. Liaise with the internal admin/accounts team and external accountants as needed. Organize and manage supplier invoices, payment records, receipts, financial statements, and digital financial folders. Follow up on any missing financial documentation or payment confirmations. Ensure accuracy in Excel/Google Sheets trackers and understand fundamental accounting and administrative terms. Support the organization of documents for finance, operations, supplier, and general administrative needs. (Note: Final accounting, bookkeeping, and statutory accounting remain with the dedicated teams.)
- Content & Social Media Coordination: Draft content for platforms like LinkedIn and Instagram, including captions and founder posts, leveraging AI tools to transform notes, voice memos, and meeting discussions into polished drafts. Assist in maintaining a social media content calendar and coordinate the scheduling of approved posts across various platforms. Organize saved content, inspiration, competitor examples, and references across platforms like Instagram, Pinterest, and TikTok. Identify and flag relevant content ideas, comments, and collaboration opportunities. Coordinate with designers, marketers, and internal teams for creative content execution.
- AI & Digital Organisation: Utilize AI tools such as ChatGPT for tasks like summarization, content drafting, email composition, checklist creation, research, and task organization. Manage and structure digital folders across cloud storage systems, migrating and organizing files from local drives. Maintain organized bookmarks, saved links, supplier information, brand references, product ideas, and learning resources. Implement clear file naming conventions and folder structures to ensure information is easily accessible.
- Product & Supplier Support: Assist the founder with new product research, organizing supplier notes, trade show information, product samples, and product idea repositories. Conduct research on competitor products, pricing, packaging, and market positioning. Maintain simple trackers for product research and sample inventory. Follow up with suppliers for essential documents, samples, quotations, and timelines. Support product launch preparations by coordinating necessary information and pending tasks.
- E-commerce / FMCG Coordination Support: Gain understanding of basic e-commerce and FMCG business requirements including SKUs, listings, pricing, inventory, orders, and product descriptions. Provide support for platforms like Shopify, Amazon, Noon, or Talabat as needed. Assist in organizing product descriptions, images, and listing details. Coordinate with e-commerce, marketing, and operations teams to gather missing information or address pending tasks.

You Are Not the Right Fit If: You are a pure accountant without content/coordination skills, a pure social media manager lacking admin discipline, a receptionist awaiting instructions, weak with follow-ups, uncomfortable with AI, unable to organize digital information, require a highly structured corporate setting, dislike working closely with a founder, or avoid taking ownership of tasks.
Success Milestones:

- First 90 Days: Substantial reduction in founder's follow-up and administrative burden, weekly content coordination established, accurate and updated financial/admin trackers, active product research and supplier follow-up systems, user-friendly digital filing systems, independent task management and organization, and reliable execution of tasks reducing founder oversight.
Key Performance Indicators: Daily inbox and follow-up tracker updates, meeting notes and action points delivered within 24 hours, weekly updates to financial/admin trackers, clear tracking of supplier and product follow-ups, minimum weekly content drafts prepared, organized digital folders and references, proactive follow-up on pending tasks, and a clear weekly update report to the founder.
Ideal Candidate Profile: An organized, sharp, practical, and reliable individual who understands numbers and can write effectively.

This role emphasizes practical execution.
