Virtual Administrative Assistant - Research & Contact Verification (Project Based)

We are seeking a detail-oriented Virtual Administrative Assistant to assist with a business development initiative for our growing corporate event company. This is NOT a sales position. You will not be selling or pitching our services. Instead, your role is to conduct thorough online research, identify the correct decision-makers at hotels, verify their contact information, and organize your findings in a structured Excel spreadsheet. Accuracy is significantly more important than speed. Responsibilities Research hotels within assigned geographic markets. Identify the appropriate contact for corporate events (Director of Sales, Catering Sales Manager, Event Manager, etc.). Verify that the individual currently holds that position through hotel websites, LinkedIn, or by calling the hotel directly. Confirm the best available email address, phone number, and other relevant contact information. Enter verified information into a standardized Excel spreadsheet. Flag any contacts or properties that cannot be confidently verified. Qualifications Excellent internet research skills. Strong attention to detail. Comfortable making brief professional phone calls to verify information. Proficient with Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets. Strong written communication. Able to work independently with minimal supervision. What We're Looking For The ideal candidate enjoys research and takes pride in producing accurate work. We value quality over quantity and are looking for someone who verifies information rather than making assumptions. This position begins as a project-based engagement, but we anticipate additional research and administrative projects for the right candidate. To Apply Please include: A brief summary of your experience with online research or lead verification. An example of a project where attention to detail was critical. Your hourly rate. The word Hotel somewhere in your proposal so we know you've read the full posting. This position begins as a project-based engagement. For the right candidate, there is significant opportunity for additional projects and ongoing work as our company continues to grow.
