You can learn more at joinbridges.org. The Role We're looking for a reliable, tech-savvy Virtual Assistant to support our Executive Director on an ongoing basis. This is a part-time role, roughly 7 to 10 hours per week, with a minimum 6-month commitment. You'll be working directly with the ED to keep his calendar, communications, and research tasks moving efficiently. This is not a complex role, but it requires someone who takes ownership seriously. If you say you'll follow up, you follow up. If something is on the calendar, it's confirmed and organized. If there's a research task, you come back with a clean, usable answer. What You'll Be Doing Most of your time will go toward three things: Calendar management: scheduling and coordinating meetings, sending reminders, and keeping things from falling through the cracks. Follow-up support: after calls and email threads, drafting or sending follow-up messages to keep conversations moving. Research and logistics: finding venues, pulling contact information, doing background research on organizations or individuals, and summarizing findings in a clear format. Additional tasks may include supporting outreach coordination and managing digital files and related administrative duties. What We're Looking For You must be based in the United States and available to work primarily in the morning hours (Central Time preferred). You are responsive, organized, and genuinely good at email. You're comfortable in tools like Google Workspace, Monday.com, and similar platforms, and you pick up new systems quickly. You don't need to have a background in nonprofits or interfaith work, but you should be the kind of person who respects people of all faith traditions and brings a professional, warm tone to communications. To Apply Please submit your Upwork profile along with a portfolio or samples of your work. We're especially interested in examples that show you've supported an executive with calendar management, research tasks, or communications. Candidates with relevant samples will be prioritized. The process is: portfolio review, then a call via Upwork, then a decision. Straightforward.
