About the Company

Remote Job

Our client operates in the home appliance repair services industry, serving residential clients with top-tier technical service and customer support. Their operations rely heavily on efficiency, timely service, and customer satisfaction. They are looking to bring on a proactive, smart, and resourceful Virtual Assistant to handle day-to-day admin responsibilities so that their service team can stay productive and focused.
This is not a traditional assistant job—it’s a high-responsibility support role that requires critical thinking, multitasking, and full accountability for smooth operations.

Key Responsibilities

Remote Job

As a Virtual Assistant, you will become the operational backbone of the business. Your job will be to ensure that all behind-the-scenes tasks are completed accurately and on time so that technicians can focus on delivering hands-on service to customers.

Primary Duties
• Answer and manage inbound calls from clients in a prompt, professional, and friendly manner

• Schedule daily service appointments for technicians across multiple locations using internal scheduling tools

• Coordinate routes and dispatch technicians with minimal downtime and travel overlap

• Communicate with clients via phone, SMS, and email—both before and after their service appointments

• Update customers on technician arrival times, delays, and job status

Secondary Duties
• Learn and operate the company’s Service Desk software (industry-specific platform)

• Troubleshoot basic software issues or admin-related process challenges

• Create and send invoices, track payments, and assist in light bookkeeping tasks

• Conduct follow-up communication with clients to confirm satisfaction and gather feedback

• Post periodic updates or promotions on company social media channels

• Identify inefficiencies and suggest process improvements to streamline daily workflow

Required Qualifications

Remote Job

We are looking for a well-rounded individual who is comfortable working in a fast-paced, virtual environment with minimal supervision. You must be proactive, dependable, and confident in handling day-to-day tasks without needing constant direction.

Minimum Qualifications
• Language Proficiency:

• Excellent English speaking and writing skills (a light accent is acceptable, but clarity is essential)

• Education:

• A Bachelor’s Degree is strongly preferred

• Experience:

• 5+ years of virtual assistant or administrative support experience

• Prior experience with scheduling or dispatch tools, CRM systems, or similar platforms

• Familiarity with Service Desk software is a major plus

• Tech Savvy:

• Able to learn and master digital tools and platforms quickly

• Comfortable navigating modern software for scheduling, communication, and recordkeeping

• Customer-Oriented:

• Must be professional and respectful when dealing with clients over the phone and online

• Should have experience in service-oriented environments (home services, repairs, field coordination, etc.)

Preferred Skills and Attributes
While not all are required, these traits will greatly enhance your fit for the position:
• Prior experience in the home services industry (e.g., plumbing, HVAC, appliance repair)

• Background in tech support, logistics, or dispatch coordination

• Bookkeeping or light accounting experience (e.g., invoicing clients, reconciling payments)

• Familiarity with tools like Slack, ServiceTitan, Jobber, Freshdesk, or Zoho

• Strong problem-solving capabilities and the initiative to act without waiting for instruction

• Ability to work independently and manage tasks under pressure without losing quality

Work Environment and Expectations

Remote Job

This is a remote position that follows U.S. Eastern Standard Time (EST). You will need to be available during those business hours to respond to calls and emails in real-time. You must also have:
• A reliable internet connection with backup options in case of outages

• A quiet and professional home office setup with a headset and webcam

• The ability to remain productive, even when unsupervised

This is a full-time, long-term role with growth potential. The ideal candidate will eventually become the central point of contact for customer service and internal communications.

Why This Role Stands Out

Remote Job

• Competitive international salary paid in USD

• Fully remote opportunity—no commute or relocation required

• Exposure to U.S. business operations and customer service standards

• Opportunity to work closely with business owners and technicians in a fast-growing company

• Gain valuable experience in logistics, customer service, and operations coordination

• Direct impact on client experience and company success

• Learn industry-specific systems that can boost your long-term career prospects
