Title: CPT-11649 Acquisition & Executive Operations Assistant Virtual Assistant
Independent Contractor – CPT-11649 Acquisition & Executive Operations Assistant Virtual Assistant/Business Support VA/Junior-Senior Level (Remote).
Overview
20four7VA is seeking offshore independent contractors to deliver remote services to clients worldwide, with a primary focus on developed markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.
A U.S.-based holding company is seeking a full-time Acquisition & Executive Operations Assistant Virtual Assistant to support business-owner outreach, acquisition administration, executive operations, and occasional personal administrative tasks.
Acquisition outreach will remain the primary responsibility, comprising approximately half of the role. The VA will conduct professional follow-ups with business owners who have already received company outreach, determine whether they are open to a brief introductory conversation with the client, and schedule qualified introductory meetings.
The remaining responsibilities will include acquisition administration, meeting preparation and follow-up, inbox and calendar support, vendor communications, invoicing follow-ups, document organization, research, and occasional personal executive assistance.
This is not a lead-generation, high-pressure sales, or closing position. Target lists, outreach processes, scripts, SOPs, and training will be provided. The focus is on professional communication, relationship management, sound judgment, accurate documentation, and reliable execution.
The objective of each engagement is to assist the client in improving business efficiency, enhancing service delivery, or supporting operational functions through high-quality, task-specific services rendered by a qualified contractor.
Scope of Services
Contractors will be required to provide services that align with the following client tasks:
