• Draft and distribute product updates, newsletters, and announcements based on founder notes.
• Manage basic invoicing and record-keeping, maintaining simple logs for business expenses.
• Conduct research projects (e.g., comparing credit card perks, summarizing new offers, or curating travel deal insights).

Content & Communication Support (Nice-to-Have)

• Draft light blog posts, internal wiki summaries, or community updates in clear, engaging language.
