Tentative Schedule: Tuesday to Saturday, approximately 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Central Time (overnight hours in Manila). Schedule may be adjusted based on business needs.

About the Role

We are hiring an organized, proactive Executive Virtual Assistant to be a dependable remote operations partner for a growing family entertainment business. This role is a strong fit for someone who has supported a founder, executive, small business owner, or busy team and enjoys keeping communications, priorities, and follow-ups organized.

You will bring the strengths of a great Executive VA: sound judgment, initiative, attention to detail, and the ability to move tasks forward without constant direction. This is also a hands-on, customer-facing position that includes phone and email support, booking inquiries, sales follow-up, and community outreach, not just traditional executive calendar or inbox management.

You will help families receive timely, consistent support for birthday parties, group visits, memberships, and other inquiries. You will also coordinate follow-ups, build relationships with schools and community organizations, and help marketing and day-to-day business operations stay on track.

Key Responsibilities

1. Customer Communication, Booking Support & Follow-Up

• Serve as a reliable point of contact by answering and returning customer calls, emails, voicemails, and online inquiries promptly and professionally.

• Assist customers with questions about birthday parties, group visits, memberships, admissions, schedules, policies, pricing, and availability.

• Track birthday inquiries, missed calls, abandoned bookings, and prospective customers, then follow through to help turn interest into confirmed bookings.

• Keep customer notes and communications accurate and organized so information stays consistent across channels and team members.

• Identify complaints, exceptions, or concerns that require management attention and escalate them appropriately.

2. Lead Tracking, Outreach & Relationship Coordination

• Organize CRM contacts, opportunities, notes, pipeline stages, next steps, and follow-up dates so information is easy for the team to act on.

• Take ownership of follow-up lists and keep active leads moving until they are booked, completed, or appropriately closed.

• Research and conduct outreach to schools, PTOs, daycares, preschools, homeschool groups, sports organizations, churches, and community partners.

• Support opportunities such as group visits, field trips, fundraisers, community events, birthday parties, and partnership programs.

• Provide concise updates on outreach, open opportunities, outstanding decisions, and next actions.

3. Executive VA & Business Operations Support

• Coordinate approved customer email campaigns, audience lists, promotions, reactivation efforts, and basic campaign tracking.

• Maintain the marketing content calendar, schedule approved social media posts, and assist with simple graphics and promotional materials.

• Support employee scheduling, recruiting coordination, onboarding administration, and routine communication with vendors, candidates, and partners.

• Keep trackers, shared files, templates, task lists, documentation, and standard operating procedures organized and up to date.

• Assist with additional administrative needs such as ordering, inventory administration, payroll preparation, reporting, or website/content updates as assigned.

Required Qualifications

• Strong spoken and written English for professional calls, emails, follow-ups, and internal updates.

• Confident, approachable phone presence and willingness to speak directly with customers and partners.

• Experience as an Executive Virtual Assistant, Executive Assistant, Administrative VA, Operations VA, Customer Support VA, or in a similar coordination role. Relevant transferable experience is welcome.

• Excellent organization and attention to detail across inboxes, records, shared files, and trackers.

• Ability to prioritize competing requests, manage deadlines, and keep multiple follow-ups moving.

• Comfortable working independently and collaborating remotely with a U.S.-based team.

• Consistent follow-through, sound judgment, and a proactive approach to pending tasks.

• Comfortable learning new systems, following processes, and documenting or improving workflows.

• Availability for the Tuesday to Saturday U.S. Central Time schedule (overnight hours in the Philippines).

Current systems include Brevo, Nextiva, LilyPad, Homebase, Google Workspace, Airtable, Google Drive, Canva, ChatGPT, and Base44. Familiarity with every platform is not required; being resourceful and willing to learn is important.
