About the role:

We are seeking a detail-oriented, highly organized, and articulate Virtual Assistant to lead day-to-day administrative operations, lead communication & management, and brand partner coordination.

• Monitor and respond to high-volume Instagram DMs daily and touch base with leads entering the sales funnel via free guides/lead magnets.

• Manage and publish regular email newsletters to keep the student and lead audience engaged.

• Repurpose existing long-form and short-form content from TikTok and Instagram into assets for LinkedIn, Substack, and other platforms.

• Conduct onboarding calls with new partner brands, explain creator setup terms, and present program details professionally.

• Issue monthly invoices to partner brands, track recurring payments, and follow up on outstanding balances.

• Maintain accurate back-end records and tracking systems for active female creators and brand partner accounts.

• Perform general administrative and operational tasks using social platforms and CRM tools like GoHighLevel.

Who are we looking for?

• 2–4+ years of experience in a Marketing, Client Success, or Social Media Assistant role.

• Strong familiarity with social media platforms (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, Substack) and standard CRM software (e.g., GoHighLevel).

• Proficiency in Canva for design and video editing capabilities.

• Experience managing multichannel communication (emails, DMs, calls, etc.).

• Previous experience planning and creating newsletters.

• Previous experience in a sales/client-facing role is a plus.

• Previous experience managing admin tasks and invoices is a plus.
