Long-Term VA Wanted — Phone-Confident, Research + Personal/Business Admin

I'm a US-based business owner looking for a sharp, reliable, all-around Virtual Assistant in the Philippines to be my right hand across both business and personal tasks. This is the kind of role where no two days look the same — I need someone resourceful who can pick up a task, run with it, and close the loop without me chasing them. This is a long-term role. We'll start at 10–15 hours/week and scale up as trust is built — I'd rather grow one great person than rotate through many. WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING: - Phone calls — booking appointments, following up with vendors, calling businesses on my behalf (several calls a week; a clear, neutral, easy-to-understand accent is what matters — you don't need to sound American, just confident and professional on the phone) - Research — web research, comparing vendors/options, building contact or prospect lists, and summarizing findings into clear, decision-ready notes - Personal admin — calendar management, travel and reservations, online ordering, reminders, and keeping me on top of the small stuff - Business admin — inbox and CRM cleanup, data entry, document prep, and light recurring tasks MUST-HAVES: - Strong, clear spoken English — comfortable making outbound calls to US businesses - Excellent written English for notes, summaries, and email - Highly organized, proactive, and great at closing loops without reminders - Comfortable with Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Sheets, Docs) - Reliable internet + a quiet space for calls - Some overlap with US business hours for the calling portion (the rest can be flexible) TO APPLY, PLEASE INCLUDE: 1. Start your proposal with the phrase "Blue Horizon" so I know you read this carefully 2. A 30–60 second voice recording or Loom introducing yourself (so I can hear your phone English) — this is the single most important part 3. 2–3 examples of VA work you've done, ideally including any calling or appointment-setting 4. Your available hours per week and your typical working hours in US Eastern/Pacific time
