• Posted : 3 years ago

We are Nowsight, a business intelligence company, searching for a virtual assistant who lives to support others and is already working with another client or two in a similar capacity. We need someone who is in front of their computer, checking email and answering their phone between 9 to 4 pm ET. Though this role will only take 10 to 15 hours a month; it requires you to be on-call for when team members need immediate assistance (mostly related to scheduling).

We want to work with a team player who is proactive, flexible, result-oriented, and comfortable in a virtual autonomous environment.

We are looking to build a lasting relationship with the right person who will grow and learn with us.

If you think this position is for you, in the application portion of this job description, for the question where we ask about your plans for the summer, please do not tell us your plans.
