Virtual Assistant Job Opportunity

Have you left your traditional job to be a full-time Mom?

 

Are you looking to work from home (part-time) so you can be super-Mom when needed, yet still make a few dollars and keep your work life alive?

 

 

If yes, please keep reading – I’m looking to hire a virtual Assistant to work along side me in my business. 

 

My name is Jimmie Jayes.  I own a coaching business in Vancouver Canada (with clients all over North America) and a second business where I create and sell online courses. I have two young children myself and get to work from home, so I understand why it’s so important to have work life balance, and how valuable it is to have the freedom to work when you want. 

 

YES, I’m a real person.  For more info about me, click here to see my headshot and bio.

Alright, let’s dig in…

 

———-

 

WHO I’M LOOKING FOR

 

1) The Basics:

 

– you live in the USA or Canada.

 

– English is your first language, you’re good at written and spoken English.

 

– you’re tech-comfortable; if you can navigate Facebook and YouTube easily, that’s good enough.

 

– you’ve got reliable high-speed internet and reliable electricity.

 

– ideally (but not manditory) you have an iMac or Macbook Pro 

 

2) You Love to Learn

 

You won’t be stuck doing data entry all day every day.  You’ll get to learn a wide range of different skills, using different skills on different days.

 

We won’t be asking you to learn rocket science or anything.  Full training will be provided, and all tasks are very learnable.  For example, if you don’t know how to publish a blog post, we’ll be happy to teach you how.

 

 

 

3) You’d Like Meaningful Work:

 

Again, you won’t be doing data entry all day.

 

You’ll do work that makes a meaningful difference for me, and my customers and clients. Everything that I do (in both of my businesses) is to help my clients earn freedom and have the chance to create new life experiences.

 

 

 

4) You Love Checklists:

 

If you give your husband checklists, you’ll love working with me!  Most days you’ll be creating and/or following checklists. 

 

 

 

5) You Really Enjoy Organizing and Coordinating:

 

If you’re delighted by the sight of a perfectly organized filing cabinet, you’re probably a fit!

 

You’ll also enjoy this work if you enjoy coordinating and orchestrating people.  We’re looking for someone to use leadpages and gotowebinar (all training is provided), set calendar appointments, and possibly even help coordinate a few personal tasks like scheduling contractors (e.g. lawn maintenance).

 

 

 

– – – – – – – –

 

YES THIS JOB IS FLEXIBLE SO YOU CAN BE A GREAT MOM!

 

95%+ of your role can be done any time(s) of day, any day(s) of the week. You’ll receive a task and a deadline; when you work is completely up to you.

 

This means you can be with your baby when (s)he’s awake, feed them whenever you’re called into action, and even watch your baby anytime you need to.

 

Baby getting a little cranky or sick and you need to throw your “Dr. Mom” hat on for 20 mins? No problem – work can wait 🙂

 

My wife is a full time stay at home mom; so I get it! She took a girls trip to Vegas and I got to be full time daddy and work from home, and I assure you my son didn’t care what time my clients wanted work completed by. He just needed me when he needed me!

Customer Support Lead cum Project Manager

I’m the founder of Hormones Balance (www.hormonesbalance.com), a successful nutrition practice dedicated to helping women rebalance their hormones with nutrition. I also got a publisher deal and I’m currently writing a cook book for hormonal rebalancing. 

My business is exclusively online and I run a number of ever-green programs. With that come many emails ranging from program enquiries, health-related questions and billing issues. We have documented hundreds of canned responses which will make training faster and easier. 

 

My work is fueled by passion and the desire of changing how women view sickness and hormonal issues. It is important to me that this issue matters to you as well because you will be facing it every day in this work. If you find unwell people annoying, this work is not for you. If you want to be a part of changing the conversation about women’s health, you are coming to the right place. 

Roles and responsibilities 

 

  • Lead the customer support team 
  • Provide a 24-hour turn-around time for emails (with other team members)

Email Marketing Account Coordinator

Email Broadcast is looking to hire a part-time, long-term Account Coordinator (and general marketing rockstar). Our Account Coordinators play a vital role here. They’re the connection between us and our clients; they’re in charge of keeping those clients happy; they’re the makers of amazing monthly email campaigns.

This job is a permanent contractor role within our company. You’ll have plenty of flexibility to get your work done, but that comes with accountability. You should be generally available from 10 to 4, Monday through Thursday (yes, you read that right – we take Friday’s off) . This is when client meetings, team meetings, communication, and collaboration happen. If you have other commitments during this time, this isn’t a good fit.

As an Account Coordinator, you’re going to be responsible for a handful of diverse clients (i.e., your accounts could include a high-end dermatology office or a remote fishing lodge). You’ll work on creating a monthly email campaign for them from start to send. This includes coming up with creative concepts, writing compelling copy, coordinating graphic requirements with our designer, A/B testing, requesting and tracking client approval, scheduling, reporting, and everything else in between.

You’ll also attend weekly team meetings and occasional client calls, where you’ll share your ideas and contribute to discussions.

To be successful, you need a blend of some specific skills:

———————————————————————————————————————————–

Client wrangling.
Whether you’re getting buy-in on a content idea, or tracking someone down for an approval; you should be a perfect balance of persuasive, professional, persistent, and personable.

Project tracking.

i.e., Can you juggle? More importantly: Can you focus? You’ll be working on several email campaigns for different clients all at the same time. You have to be able to transition from one project to the next without dropping the ball but disciplined enough to focus on each task and ensure high-quality completion.

Marketing wizardry.

You have experience and know-how to hook an audience with a headline, dazzle them with compelling copy, and persuade them to click, buy, sign up, stay tuned, or whatever else your campaign calls for!

Still interested? See if the following describes you: ==========================================================================

WHAT YOU’RE LOOKING FOR

12-20 hours per week of work . That’s about how much you’ll be working with a typical client load. Want more? Once you prove your marketing prowess, there’s plenty of internal projects we can add you to that will increase your hours. This job can grow into what you make it, but those 12-20 hours will be your primary priority. If what you really need is a full-time job to pay the bills, that’s cool, but this isn’t the right role for you.

A long-term role. To be clear: This isn’t a freelance opportunity. If you’re used to piecing together one-off projects and short-term gigs, we’re not a good fit. The Account Coordinator is a permanent contractor role within our company.

To be part of a team. Yes, you’ll do a lot of work on your own. But lone wolves need not apply. Each month you’ll be working with me, her, him, and them.

Decent Pay. Your hourly rate will be between $18 and $22 per hour depending on your experience. There is also a year-end bonus.

 

 

NEXT STEPS

So, how does that sound?
If you think you’re the person we’re looking for, send your cover letter and resume to ACmay2017@emailbroadcast.com . Please use the subject line “Your 2017 Account Coordinator.” Do not get creative here. This is how we sort the incoming mail. Consider your cover letter to be an example of your marketing skills–pitch yourself to us! Make sure you explain why you’re the perfect person for this position, why you’re interested, and how this part-time role will fit with your lifestyle.

WHAT IS IT LIKE TO WORK FOR EMAIL BROADCAST? =======================================================================

Working for Email Broadcast as an independent contractor—yes, work from my home—score!

So I had this need. . .typical stay-at-home-mom that needed to make some additional money to pay for the extras that come with kids: shoes, toys, never-ending school fundraisers, and maybe even braces at some point. My husband works full time, but with the high cost of living it just wasn’t quite enough to cover those “extras.” It was simple: I wanted a part-time job, wielding my copywriting and client wrangling skills, and yet I didn’t want to shell out for daycare while I toiled away in some corporate office.

Enter Email Broadcast. . .the perfect solution that met these very exact needs. I seriously love my job with an amazing set of badass peeps, great clients, and I can even work in my pj’s if I so wish while I suck down as much coffee as I can take in.

–Dara Gibbs, Sr. Account Manager

Seeking a work life balance — 4 days a week!

After nearly a decade of working full time in marketing communications, I needed a better work-life balance when I became a mom. It was much harder than I thought to find a flexible, part-time job in my field (that wasn’t a weird, scammy work-from-home gig). Thankfully, I found my happy medium with Email Broadcast.

As an account coordinator, I work part-time from home with flexibility to write on my own schedule. I’m thrilled to be using my college degree again (since I am, in fact, still paying for it), and it turns out that email marketing is my jam. Way cooler than anything I’ve done previously.

I don’t have to waste time or money commuting. I get to see my kids’ faces every day without shipping them off to daycare at 6 am. I don’t have to change out of my comfy pants. And I love the four-day work week, because, duh. I couldn’t ask for a better fit for my lifestyle.

Controller/CFO

The position of financial controller, or comptroller, involves managing financial departments of a company. These departments can include the accounting department, budget department, audit department, and any other finance-related departments. Financial controllers have many responsibilities, such as producing critical financial reports, profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and financial prospectuses. They must also prepare reports that predict the financial performance of a company over time. Any paperwork that needs to be done for federal and state regulatory agencies is completed and submitted by the financial controller.

A financial controller should have a good grasp of financial reporting, as well as high-level mathematical and problem solving skills. Because they need to submit and often explain complex financial concepts to executives and people without a financial background, superior communication skills are necessary. Typically financial controllers have a bachelor’s degree in accounting, finance, or business, although it is not uncommon to find someone with a liberal arts background in this role. They also should obtain a license as a certified public accountant, certified financial manager, or certified management accountant. Most companies hiring for this position will look for a master’s degree in business administration or financial accounting, as well as seven to 10 years of progressive accounting experience and previous supervisory experience.

Financial Controller Tasks

  • Ensure policies and procedures are in compliance with professional standards, state and federal regulatory requirements.
  • Establish and maintain internal controls to support the financial infrastructure.
  • Present financial reporting and potential risk areas to senior management.
  • Oversee accounting, financial reporting, analysis and preparation of the consolidated financial statements, including schedules for tax compliance.

Slightly-OCD, Tech-Comfortable Mom Sought to Help eCommerce Company

Slightly-OCD, Tech-Comfortable Mom Sought to Help eCommerce Company 

 

Hi my name is Ben Arneberg, and my wife Camille and I own an ecommerce business in Virginia. We sell primarily kitchen and home goods on Amazon.com, and will soon start selling on our own website as well. The business is growing, and we’re looking for a detail-oriented and motivated key person to add to our team.

We currently have a full-time Virtual Assistant based out of the Philippines who handles all of our customer care as well as administrative tasks for the business (such as managing the Amazon listings).

We are looking to bring on someone else who will work in a hybrid Project Management/Bookkeeping capacity: Being the lead for our various existing products by interfacing with our suppliers and Freight Forwarder to make reorders, coordinate the goods being shipped into Amazon, categorizing the various expenses, and so forth.

I am looking to expand in a slow-but-steady kind of way. This job averages only 10 hours per week to begin with. Some weeks might be more, some less, but average is 10 hours per week. The hours worked can be flexible, but I would like you to check in every day and work about an hour (less if not a lot to do, more if there is) and not miss important deadlines.

If things go well between us, and you’re interested, the opportunity may exist to increase to more hours per week/month. Obviously I’d like to grow alongside the winning applicant (you?) to offer as much employment as you’d like, although we need to walk before we can run.

The winning applicant (possibly you?) must absolutely have the following:

– Reliable high-speed Internet access

– Webcam-equipped computer for occasional Skype Call

-Reliable and Accessible phone line access (cell or land land)

The winning applicant (possibly you?) must absolutely have the following characteristics:

– Very detail-oriented

– Deadline-obsessed

 – Canada or USA-based

– Tech-comfortable

– Fluent in English, both written and spoken

– Comfortable logging details in spreadsheets

– Comfortable dealing with finances, such as paying bills, wiring money, categorizing transactions

– Comfortable doing minor calculations/computations (i.e. calculating remaining balance due)

– Trust-worthy, communicative and reliable

Bonus (although not required) skills include:

– Project Management experience

– Bookkeeping/accounting experience (with Quickbooks especially)

For our company to grow, everything must run on checklists / working procedures. You will be expected to:

 – Follow step-by-step procedures that already exist (follow them *exactly*)

 – Make suggestions to me on how to improve checklists (when you see legitimate improvement opportunities – I may say yes or no)

 – Create step-by-step checklists for other staff to follow

Projects you’ll be involved in include:

– Dealing with product suppliers for reorders/modifications, coordinate product inspections

– Point of Contact with freight forwarder to send shipments into Amazon warehouses

– Categorize various business expenses in QuickBooks (can train you if no experience)

– Pay bills on behalf of company

– Help out with various administrative tasks, from scheduling an appointment for me to coordinating with our accountant

At this time, other possible tasks I foresee could include:

– Calling (at my cost) a handful of customers per week who had an issue with the product (this is difficult for our Philippines-based VA to do because of Time Zone differences)

– Helping us set up international selling on Amazon

Timeline:

– Starting as soon as I find a qualified applicant; next few weeks would be nice, although I’m not going to rush the process. I need the right person in this position

 – 30-day trial to begin; if we like each other we’ll continue

Pay:

– First month (paid) at $15/hr Hours:

 – Each week may fluctuate somewhat, but average of 10 hours per week

 NOTE: I know I’m going to sound like a jerk for saying this, but I really respect both my time and yours, so I’ll say this bluntly: if you dislike rules, checklists, guidelines, and/ or pride yourself in being a “free spirit”, antiauthority, counter-culture, wildly creative, or super-alternative, this job is not for you. I’m looking for someone who will work within the current business “machine” I’ve built, and is eager to help me make it bigger, stronger, faster by embracing the checklist mindset. Following checklists is imperative. For the sake of your time and mine, do not apply if you feel bogged down by checklists. Thank-you.

If you’re interested…Email ben@kitchenclassique.com. In the subject line please write “Slightly OCD Mom from (insert your city/ town) interested in PM job”

 In the body, please write me a 14-sentence email including: Three sentence opening salutation that says: “Hey there Ben! My name is _____, I’m slightly OCD, am comfortable with technology, and love checklists. I’d like to apply for the job you posted on HireMyMom.com.”

Reason #1 why you think this job is a fit for you. (black font, Courier, 3 sentences)

Reason #2 why you think this job is a fit for you (blue font, Verdana, 3 sentences)

Reason #3 why you think this job is a fit for you (red font, Courier, 3 sentences)

Two sentence closing including: the name of three blog posts you saw on our website, and a closing salutation including your name, email address, and phone number.

Note: Please do NOT attach a resume; if you are shortlisted I may ask for one later.

Thanks I know the *right* applicant will really like this job. Maybe it’s you

 Ben 🙂
