About Pardigme
Pardigme is building a social platform that helps people connect in real life through shared interests in the places they already visit. A Carry is content or experience someone chooses to share nearby. People can also declare what they are looking for and receive relevant responses from other people or participating businesses. We are assembling our core team for a planned retail activation in November and December 2026, with expansion into other everyday gathering places.
Our vision and mission
Vision
Pardigme's vision is to bridge the online and offline worlds, using identity and self-expression to create genuine human connection and redefine the role of existing third spaces.
Mission
As more of life moves online, our digital identities and our physical lives increasingly exist apart from one another. That gap can leave people surrounded by others while still feeling disconnected. Pardigme exists in the space between those two worlds. Our mission is to give the things people already care about online an offline social function, making it easier for people to discover common ground, interact naturally and form meaningful connections in the physical places they already share.
The role
We are hiring an experienced Executive and Personal Assistant to work directly with the founder as Pardigme prepares for its Christmas activation and develops international partnerships. You will own the calendar, inbox coordination, travel and day-to-day logistics, keeping meetings prepared and commitments moving. You should anticipate needs, make sound decisions within agreed authority and provide practical in-person support, freeing the founder to focus on product, hiring and commercial relationships.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
