testimonial 1

"You must hone your skills to align with the unique demands of the business. That's the beauty of working with Fitizen. It frequently pushes you beyond your comfort zone, helping you grow into a versatile and practical professional, prepared to tackle future challenges.

During my tenure, I experienced personal and professional growth, including overcoming my struggles with time management and occasional laziness. The team played a pivotal role by offering support and introducing me to various techniques and best practices, some of which I initially doubted would work. But here I am, speaking highly of Fitizen.

Additionally, the flexibility to work from anywhere, at any time, is a major perk, as long as you respect your colleagues, their work, and shared deadlines.

You'll always remember your first successful campaign or the journey of creating a video for the new summer launch. If these things excite you, then you're in for an enjoyable ride. However, if you seek something dull and routine, this might not be the right fit for you."

- Milos | Marketing Team, Email Manager  

What are the skills and qualifications needed?

Hard skills 

Essential: Experience with admin roles, due diligence, attention to detail 

Optional: Understanding of throughput, operations and logistics. Basic understanding of taxes and finance.

Soft skills

Essential: growth mindset, healthy ego, determined and strong work ethic. Strong planning and organisation skills

Optional: maths qualifications 

Do not apply if…

Fitizen is a small business. We are driven by personal growth and we move fast. We can train you on all the 'optional' hard skills needed. But you need to be hungry, be receptive to feedback, have a growth mindset and be able to improve quickly. 

If you have a history of not taking feedback well, don’t take accountability when you mess up, want to relax for the next 6 months+, please do not apply for this role. 

For the right candidate, this will be a fantastic opportunity to grow and develop your skills and progress your career considerably quicker than within a larger organisation. But for many, the pressure to grow and produce results will not be a good fit.

We believe we can identify where you are now and bridge the gap on any hard skills and most soft skills you need - if you have the right mindset and approach to learning those skills. We are a very supportive and encouraging team, but we are simply too small to carry anyone who doesn’t get results.

Benefits of working at Fitizen

Monetary compensation: if you are good at this role, the business will grow and you will share directly in that success. 

Extra compensation: quick upward trajectory and career progress, rapid skills acquisition, personal fulfilment 

Benefits: we are a remote team so you can work on your own schedule. Team culture is very flexible, kind and friendly. Flexible with time off. 

testimonial 2

"I like working for Fitizen because we are a great team, a team that easily agrees and cooperates. Flexible working hours mean a lot to me, especially since I'm a mom and I can easily manage my responsibilities. Tom is a great boss and he is always open to new suggestions and help."
