Job Summary
Do you want to be tied to a desk working for a big company that doesn't value your contributions and just sees you as a number, one where your every move is micromanaged? If so, this *isn't* the job for you.
If instead you want to help a small business grow, one who wants to hear your ideas and help you grow too, where you get to work independently - then read on.
I'm hiring a few great administrative virtual assistants to add to my team. As a VA, you'll be paired 1:1 with busy executives to clear their plates, lighten their load and help them focus on what matters most to them.
All VA's need to be available during business hours (9 - 5pm) in either the pacific or eastern time zone - either one will do.
Skills:
- Tech savvy. You know Google Suite backwards and forwards, are up to date on everything from Airbnb to Bond to everything in between. If you don't know it you can find it - FAST.
- Are able to think on your feet and execute quickly on a wide variety of tasks
- Strong problem solving skills - you need to be able to do this on your own
- Strong written and verbal communication skills - grammar & professional presence are A+
- Great customer service skills - friendly, outgoing and diplomatic to a T'
- Highly organized, and the ability to create clarity within someone else's chaos
- Upbeat, positive and energetic
- You must have a good computer, high-speed internet access and a webcam for this role
If you have executive support experience, this is a BIG plus.

We will only evaluate the people who apply through the link above.
Duties:
Your clients will email you a wide variety of tasks - scheduling and calendar management, product research, booking travel reservations and itineraries - it runs the gamut! There's no end to the interesting things you may be asked to do. You'll respond quickly, ensuring they get the best possible service.
You need to be able to give pretty quick turn around - think within an hour or two of receiving an email - so if you're already employed or are in classes back-to-back during business hours, please do not apply, it won't be a good fit.
Ideal candidates:
Motivated, hard-working college students or moms with school-aged kids. You can work from a coffee shop, a library, even the beach in San Juan (if you can get wifi there!), all the while providing our clients with a phenomenal experience. We're looking for sincere, hard-working people who want to partner with the company for the foreseeable future, and build long term relationships with each of their clients.
You'll be an Independent Contractor, which basically means you'll be acting as your own business, which is pretty cool too. (If you're not sure of the difference between working as an IC vs employee - you need to find out before you apply! See http://bit.ly/2qkAdc7).
The fine print:
Because this is a small business, and not one with a marketing machine, there's an ebb and flow for new incoming clients. What does this mean to you? Potentially, you may wait a few weeks to get your first client placement, and a few more weeks for another one after that. Typically, clients book for 10-20 hours per month each.
This is definitely a part time gig, and it will take some time before your income ramps up. Ultimately, you could have a client load up to 120 hours a month, but it will likely take several months to get there. So if you're looking for full-time employment, or need to start earning tomorrow - this won't work for you.
Rate of pay:
$15.00/hour, after our initial trial period together. Then, expect your rate to go up based on how long you keep each client.
The bottom line:
It's a pretty awesome role. You get to work remotely, you're in charge of how to attack your day each day, you meet interesting people and get to do something different. What more could one want in a part time job?
