Summary

Executive Virtual Assistant / Business Operator (Long-Term Remote Role) ## About the Role I’m a busy entrepreneur looking for a highly reliable, proactive Executive Virtual Assistant who can help support and improve day-to-day operations across multiple projects and businesses. This is NOT a simple task-completer role. I’m looking for someone who thinks ahead, communicates clearly, solves problems proactively, and takes ownership of responsibilities rather than waiting to be told every little step. This position starts part-time, but the right person will absolutely grow into additional hours, increased responsibility, and a long-term role. I care far more about reliability, communication, initiative, professionalism, and overall value than simply choosing based on hourly rate alone. --- ## Important Communication Requirement Some tasks will involve communicating with U.S.-based business owners and nonprofit organizations by phone. Because of this, you MUST: * Speak very clear and fluent English * Be easy to understand on calls * Have little to no heavy accent * Be confident and professional speaking with organizations in the United States If communication is difficult to understand, your proposal will not be considered. --- ## Responsibilities May Include * Follow-up phone calls * Email communication * Customer and lead follow-up * CRM updates * Data entry and organization * Online research * AI-assisted productivity tasks * Tracking and updating spreadsheets * Helping improve workflows and systems * Coordinating projects and tasks * Occasionally helping source or coordinate outside freelancers/vendors for specialized tasks Some tasks can be completed on your own schedule as long as deadlines are met. However, any phone-related tasks must be completed during normal U.S. business hours. --- ## What I’m REALLY Looking For The ideal person is: * Proactive instead of reactive * Organized and dependable * A fast learner * Detail-oriented * Comfortable figuring things out independently * Tech-savvy and adaptable * Comfortable using AI tools to improve productivity * Looking for a long-term working relationship * Able to communicate professionally and confidently I am NOT looking for someone who constantly needs to be told every little thing to do. --- ## AI & Productivity AI experience is a BIG plus. Please be prepared to explain: * Which AI platforms/tools you’ve used for 6+ months * How you currently use AI to improve productivity or save time * Examples of how AI helps you perform your work more efficiently --- ## Compensation * Starting range: approximately $5–$8/hour depending on experience, communication skills, reliability, and overall fit * Hours will increase over time for the right person * Long-term opportunity for someone dependable and proactive Candidates will be evaluated based on BOTH: 1. Experience and communication quality 2. Competitiveness of hourly rate --- ## REQUIRED APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS To apply: 1. Begin your proposal with the words: “Operator Ready” 2. Include a Loom video link (preferred) OR Vocaroo link: * 1–3 minutes maximum * Introduce yourself * Explain why you believe you are a strong fit for this role * Speak naturally and professionally IMPORTANT: * Video submissions are strongly preferred * Generic copy/paste proposals will be rejected immediately * Failure to follow instructions will automatically disqualify your application --- ## Additional Application Questions Please answer the following: 1. Which software platforms/tools do you have the MOST experience using? 2. Which AI tools/platforms have you actively used for MORE than 6 months? 3. Briefly explain how you currently use AI to improve your productivity or efficiency. 4. What countries or types of clients/organizations have you primarily worked with? 5. Please include your favorite pastime activity somewhere naturally within your proposal. --- ## Preferred (But Not Required) Experience with: * GoHighLevel (GHL) * CRM systems * Google Sheets * Project management tools * AI productivity tools * Remote support roles * U.S.-based clients or organizations --- # Final Note I want to work with people who communicate well, meet deadlines, take initiative, and genuinely care about doing great work. If that sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you.
