AI-Native Virtual Assistant / Growth Operator for a Fast-Moving Digital Portfolio
Worldwide
Read this fully — the last section tells you exactly how to apply, and I'll only reply to people who follow it. I run a growing portfolio of online businesses (an AI-powered receptionist service for UK businesses — plus several e-commerce and content brands). Everything is built to run lean with AI doing the heavy lifting. I'm looking for one sharp, proactive, AI-native right-hand to help run and grow these alongside our AI systems, with light direction from me (I check in ~2×/week). This is not a "wait to be told every step" role. I want someone who takes an outcome, uses AI to move fast, and gets it done. What you'll do (varied — AI helps with most of it): Prospecting & outreach for our AI receptionist service — find good-fit UK businesses and start conversations Follow up leads in our GoHighLevel / CRM/white-label — nurture, book calls, keep the pipeline moving Create & publish social content — short-form videos (much of it AI-assisted) and Pinterest pins Use AI (ChatGPT / Claude) to build simple websites, funnels and automations for our brands and clients Keep the daily engine moving — publish what our AI produces, work the task board, flag what's working Help spot opportunities across the portfolio and suggest improvements Social media posting of posts created by AI via a cms and software. You're a great fit if you: Write and speak excellent, natural English Are a genuine self-starter who takes ownership (this is the #1 thing I'm hiring for) Already use AI tools every day and love them Learn new tools fast (GoHighLevel, Canva, CapCut, Pinterest) Are reliable, organised, and communicate clearly and often Can work with light supervision and manage your own time Nice to have (not required): CRM experience · short-video editing · basic web/no-code (WordPress, funnels) · outreach or appointment-setting experience. How we work: You + our AI do the doing; I direct and check in twice a week. High autonomy, high trust, clear SOPs. If you're brilliant, this grows into more hours, more responsibility and more pay. Logistics: Ongoing long-term role, starting part-time (~15 hrs/week) with real room to grow. Remote, flexible hours with some overlap for check-ins. How to apply (follow this exactly — it's the test): Start your reply with the word "SPARK" so I know you read this. In 3–4 sentences, tell me about a specific time you used AI to get something done faster or better — name the tool and the result. Tell me which AI tools you use daily. Keep it short and human. Generic copy-paste proposals will be ignored. Bonus: link one thing you've made — a video, a funnel, a page, anything. I read every application that starts with SPARK. Looking forward to meeting my next teammate.
