Zirtual is a work-life balanced company that provides clients with experienced, highly skilled remote assistants for both personal and professional needs. Our Executive Assistants are committed to delivering efficient, proactive, and high-quality support that meets and exceeds client expectations.
The Executive Assistant is a vital member of the Zirtual team and serves as the primary point of contact for assigned clients. In this role, you will work independently while receiving support from an Account Supervisor, who will assist with client relationships, plan adjustments, quality feedback, and ongoing guidance.
As an Executive Assistant, you will play a critical role in supporting busy professionals by managing schedules, communications, and day-to-day operations. You will help streamline workflows, anticipate needs, and ensure tasks are completed efficiently and accurately.
Assistants are expected to be available for clients during business hours as agreed upon with each client but around-the-clock availability is not expected.
