About the Role
We are a growing online professional services company seeking a dependable, organized, and tech-savvy Administrative Assistant to support our lead consultant and help manage daily client communications.
This is a remote, administrative support position that combines virtual front desk responsibilities, meeting assistance, client communication, and light document preparation.
The ideal candidate is comfortable working behind the scenes, staying organized throughout a busy day, and occasionally appearing on Zoom video calls to assist with notes, documentation, and follow-up tasks.
You do not need specialized industry experience. We are looking for someone who is reliable, detail-oriented, comfortable learning new technology, and able to follow established processes.

- Provide live clerical support during client calls, including entering information, updating records, and documenting instructions.
- Help organize meeting notes, client files, and follow-up items.
- Be comfortable supporting a busy meeting schedule, potentially involving up to 10 virtual meetings throughout the day.
- Assist with scheduling, coordination, and other routine administrative needs.
Virtual Front Desk & Client Communication
- Monitor and manage a shared client support inbox and other incoming communication channels.
- Review, organize, prioritize, and route client inquiries to the appropriate team members.
- Respond to routine client questions using established guidelines and templates.
- Track outstanding requests and help ensure timely follow-up.
- Maintain a professional, friendly, and helpful tone in all client communications.
Document & Technology Support
- Use company-provided software and digital tools to prepare, format, and update client documents.
- Assist with resume formatting, professional online profile updates, cover letters, and other career-related materials using established templates and processes.
- Perform basic data entry, document editing, file organization, and quality checks.
- Learn and use various online platforms to support daily operations.

- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
- Excellent written English and professional communication skills.
- Comfortable using Zoom, email, Google Docs, Microsoft Word, and other common online tools.

- Experience working in a remote business or professional services environment.

What We’re Looking For
Someone who is dependable, responsive, and enjoys helping a team stay organized. You should be comfortable taking direction, following established processes, managing small details, and supporting a consultant who spends much of the day working directly with clients.
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys administrative work, is comfortable with technology, and prefers a structured support role rather than a sales or management position.

- Monday through Friday, approximately 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM Eastern Time.
