Requirements

Personable, time efficient, detailed worker (all work will be tracked and tagged using Toggl online software), some experience as a VA/PA strongly desired. Ideal candidate is already serving as a VA/PA for one or more people and can add me to their work load, as my schedule regarding interaction with this candidate is very flexible (ideally late mornings 3-5 times per week).

Familiarity with college/professional baseball a plus; most of your business-related communication will be with people in or adjacent to this industry.

Must speak and write fluent, high-level English. Number one desired skill is superior English composition abilities.

Local to Seattle not required, but a minor plus.

About Me

I am a entrepreneur who is the President, CTO, and a Director of a company called Driveline Baseball that is expanding rapidly. I work 80-85 hours/week at the company due to some shifting personnel and this is likely to continue through Q3/Q4 of 2019. I am a father of two kids, married, own a home in Seattle, WA.

My wife and I are good at some tasks, but not others, and organizing is not one of them. Fortunately, communication with each other, our workers, and our children is not a problem – you’d be working with responsive individuals who can provide feedback and enjoy hearing feedback, even if it’s negative. In our minds, it’s just an opportunity to improve.

Expected workload: 10-12 hours/week to start, potential to increase as relationship grows

Proposed Pay: $17.25/hr
