US-Based Virtual Assistant Needed

My e-commerce and consulting workload has outgrown a single inbox and calendar, so I’m bringing in a virtual assistant who already operates within the United States. Staying in the same time zone range lets us exchange quick clarifications, protect client confidentiality, and keep momentum throughout the workday. Here’s what day-to-day support looks like: • Inbox triage and flagging priority messages • Calendar coordination for calls, demos, and deadlines • Light spreadsheet updates, data entry, and online research • Occasional phone or chat follow-ups with suppliers or partners I supply clear SOPs and templates; your job is to act on them promptly, notice anything that needs tightening, and summarise progress at the end of each shift. Familiarity with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, and popular CRM or accounting tools is welcome, but a quick learning curve and reliable communication matter more than ticking every software box today. Engagement starts at roughly 5–10 hours per week and can scale up if we click. I track tasks in Trello and chat through Slack, so please be comfortable with both. To move forward, send a brief note that covers: • Your city/state and time zone • Relevant VA or administrative experience • Software platforms you already know • Your typical weekly availability and response time during US business hours Short-listed candidates will have a brief video call so we can confirm fit and discuss the first week’s milestones.
