The template

{{Company name}} is hiring a Virtual Assistant to give {{Executive or team supported}} their time back. You will run the inbox, own the calendar, and quietly remove the dozens of small tasks that fragment a working day. The right person is proactive, discreet, and allergic to letting things fall through the cracks.

What you'll do

  • Triage and manage the inbox: draft replies, flag what needs a decision, archive the noise
  • Own calendar management — scheduling, rescheduling, and protecting focus time across {{Time zones}}
  • Book travel end to end: flights, lodging, itineraries, and the backup plan when things change
  • Prepare meetings: agendas, briefing notes, and follow-up on action items until they close
  • Handle data entry and keep records current in {{Tools used}} (documents, spreadsheets, CRM)
  • Research vendors, prospects, or topics and deliver short, decision-ready summaries
  • Process invoices, expenses, and light bookkeeping tasks accurately and on schedule
  • Handle sensitive information — contracts, compensation, personal matters — with complete discretion

What we're looking for

  • 2+ years as a virtual assistant, executive assistant, or in a comparable administrative role
  • Excellent written English and a professional, warm tone with external contacts
  • Fluency with productivity suites and shared calendars, and speed in picking up new tools
  • Self-management: you work reliably across time zones without someone watching
  • Meticulous attention to detail with names, dates, numbers, and confirmations
  • A demonstrated track record of handling confidential information responsibly

Nice to have

  • Experience with bookkeeping or invoicing tools
  • Social media scheduling or basic content-support experience
  • CRM upkeep and light sales-support experience
  • Additional languages relevant to our contacts: {{Languages}}

Compensation and benefits

  • Salary: {{Salary range}}
  • Benefits: {{Benefits summary}}
  • Location: {{Location / remote policy}}

How to apply

{{Application instructions}} In two or three sentences, tell us how you would organize a week for someone drowning in meetings. If you don't tick every box but believe you can do this job well, we still want to hear from you.
