  • Monitor and manage inboxes, ensuring emails are sorted, flagged, and responded to or escalated appropriately.
  • Draft and send professional responses based on client guidelines, maintaining clear and organized communication.
Scheduling & Calendar Coordination

Scope Flexibility (Important)

This is a pooled role. While the core responsibilities above remain consistent, specific tasks, tools, and workflows may vary depending on the client you are assigned to.

You may be placed in roles supporting:

  • A business owner directly
  • A specific department (e.g., operations, admin, customer support)
  • A team with ongoing administrative and coordination needs
Candidates who demonstrate strong performance may also be considered for more specialized roles over time.

Once matched, you will be onboarded into a specific client environment with a clearly defined scope of work, tools, and expectations aligned to their business needs.

Depending on client requirements and role allocation, some placements may operate on reduced or adjusted weekly hours. Final workload and schedule will be confirmed during client matching and onboarding.
