Senior Virtual Assistant Ready to Run Operations (Full-Time, Mon–Fri) Are you an experienced VA or executive assistant who's outgrown task lists and is ready to actually run the show? We're a performance-focused growth marketing agency looking for someone to take full ownership of keeping our operations on track - so the founder can focus entirely on sales. This is a step up from typical VA work. You won't just be doing tasks - you'll be the person making sure everyone else's tasks get done, on time. >What You'll Take Ownership Of You keep momentum across every client deliverable - making sure nothing stalls, deadlines are met, and gaps are filled. The founder runs sales; you run the operational follow-through. >What You'll Do - Track where every deliverable stands and keep things moving toward the finish line: published, or sent to the client for approval. - Follow up with the team persistently so nothing slips - escalating with a message or a quick call when needed. - Be the buffer with clients and the founder - calm, warm, professional communication, always. - Send the founder 4 short status updates a day so he stays confident and focused. - Solve problems independently first, and bring the founder only what truly needs him. >Who We're Looking For - Experienced as a VA, EA, or ops/admin coordinator - and ready for more responsibility. - Self-directed. You don't need hand-holding; you take initiative and own outcomes. - Warm, reliable, and persistent. People trust you to follow through. - Calm with shifting priorities and comfortable making judgment calls. - Low-ego and genuinely motivated by keeping things running smoothly. >Why This Is A Step Up This role grows with the trust you earn. The more reliably you keep things on track, the more you'll own. >How To Apply - A short intro (5–8 sentences): describe your VA/ops experience and a time you took real ownership of keeping things on track without being told to. - A 2-minute answer: A teammate hasn't replied to an urgent request in 30 minutes, a client is frustrated in an email thread, and the founder is in back-to-back sales calls. Walk us through exactly what you do, in order. If you're ready to move from doing tasks to owning operations, we'd love to hear from you.

Hi, I can keep your operations running so you can stay focused on sales. I'm a senior VA and operations professional with experience supporting founders and executives across fintech, marketing, and travel. I don't wait to be told what needs attention; I track, flag, follow up, and resolve independently. A real example: at a previous role, a client deliverable was at risk because a team member went quiet mid-task and the deadline was the next morning. Rather than wait for direction, I reached out directly via two channels, confirmed the blocker, redistributed the piece to another available resource, and had it completed and sent to the client before close of business, with a status note to the founder so he was never caught off guard. For your scenario: if a teammate hasn't replied in 30 minutes on an urgent client request, I immediately follow up via a second channel (WhatsApp, phone, Slack). While waiting, I draft a holding response to the frustrated client to acknowledge the issue and set a clear resolution timeline. I document the gap and either solve it myself or flag it to the next available person. The founder gets a brief update only if escalation is truly needed; otherwise I handle it and report after. I'm self-directed, calm under pressure, and genuinely motivated by keeping things on track. Please feel free to message me with more details so we can discuss further. Kind regards, Tosin

Hi there, My background is in operations support, project coordination, and executive assistance roles where success depended on keeping priorities visible, maintaining follow-through, and ensuring moving pieces continued progressing without constant oversight. One recent example was supporting a workflow and project management system for a therapy and wellness business. Beyond maintaining the ClickUp structure itself, the work required tracking outstanding tasks, coordinating follow-ups, maintaining visibility across priorities, and helping ensure responsibilities continued moving forward as schedules and demands shifted. For the Scenerio, I would first determine whether the urgent request is impacting a client deliverable or deadline, then follow up with the teammate through the most direct channel available to get a status update. At the same time, I would acknowledge the client's concern and provide a realistic timeframe for an update rather than leaving them waiting. Since the founder is unavailable, I would gather the necessary information, coordinate with the team, and work toward a solution independently, escalating only if a decision requires the founder's involvement. My focus would be on maintaining clear communication, keeping work moving forward, and preventing delays from affecting the client experience. Best, Zelda

First, I would assess the situation and identify what is most urgent. Since the client is already frustrated, I would immediately send a professional and empathetic reply to acknowledge their concern and assure them that I am actively working on a solution. Second, I would follow up with the teammate through our main communication channel. If there is no response, I would send a direct message or make a quick phone call to emphasize the urgency and request an update. Third, I would review all available information and determine whether I can move the task forward myself without waiting for the teammate. If possible, I would take action to avoid further delays. Fourth, I would keep the client informed with a progress update, even if the issue is not yet fully resolved. Clear communication helps maintain trust and reduces frustration. Fifth, I would document all actions taken and monitor the situation closely until it is resolved. Finally, since the founder is in back-to-back sales calls, I would avoid interrupting unless the issue becomes critical or requires their direct decision. Otherwise, I would include a concise update in the next scheduled status report.

Hello, My name is Zineb Marjan, and I currently work as a PMO at the Center for Teaching Excellence at Université Mohammed VI Polytechnique (UM6P). I have more than 8 years of experience in operations, training coordination, and project management. In my current role, I coordinate multiple programs simultaneously, manage communications with faculty and stakeholders, track deliverables, and ensure projects are completed on time. I am used to working independently, following up persistently, and keeping everyone aligned around deadlines and priorities. A good example of ownership was coordinating university-wide faculty development programs involving several departments and external trainers. I established follow-up processes, proactively addressed bottlenecks, and ensured all activities were delivered successfully without constant supervision. Regarding your scenario: first, I would immediately acknowledge the client's concerns and reassure them that I am actively working on the issue. Then, I would contact the teammate through the fastest channel available (chat, call, or direct message). If there is still no response, I would assess whether I can solve the issue myself or involve another team member to avoid delays. Since the founder is busy with sales calls, I would send a concise status update and escalate only if a critical decision is required. I enjoy creating structure, solving problems, and ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Best, Zineb Marjan

We are a UK-based professional virtual assistance and operations support team with experience in admin coordination, client communication, task tracking, calendar management, follow-ups, reporting, and day-to-day operational control. This role sounds exactly like the kind of support we provide: not just completing tasks, but making sure the full workflow keeps moving and nothing is left behind. In previous operations/admin work, we have handled situations where multiple tasks, clients, and deadlines had to be managed at the same time. If a teammate has not replied to an urgent request for 30 minutes, a client is frustrated in an email thread, and the founder is in back-to-back sales calls, we would first check the task status, previous messages, deadline, and what is actually needed to move forward. Then we would message the teammate clearly with the exact request, urgency, and deadline. If there is still no response, we would call or escalate through the agreed internal channel while also looking for an alternative solution, such as another team member, existing files, or a temporary workaround.

hi, As part of my portfolio, I managed a project using ClickUp to track and organize all project activities from start to completion. I created task workflows, monitored progress, updated task statuses, and ensured deliverables moved smoothly through each stage of the project lifecycle. The project was structured with clear stages such as To Do, In Progress, Completed, and Delivered, allowing real-time visibility into project progress. By regularly reviewing task statuses and maintaining organized records, I ensured that pending items were identified quickly and completed on time. This experience strengthened my skills in project tracking, workflow management, status reporting, and operational coordination, helping me maintain accountability and keep projects moving toward successful completion. My bidding amount for that project is 10$ per hour, and I have 40 hours weekly limit. Thanks for your consideration. For further information, connect with me via inbox. Best Regards Muhammad Usman
