About the Role

I'm an entrepreneur and optometry practice owner based in California, USA. I currently operate an optometry practice and am developing additional businesses in healthcare, media, content creation, and other ventures.

I'm looking for a smart, resourceful, creative, and highly organized virtual assistant who can grow into a long-term business partner in operations.

This is not just a data-entry or administrative position. I want someone who enjoys learning, researching new ideas, solving problems, and helping turn business concepts into reality.

We will start with social media and marketing for my optometry practice, with opportunities to expand into other business projects.

Initial Responsibilities

Social Media & Marketing

• Create attractive Instagram and Facebook posts using Canva.
• Edit short-form videos for Instagram Reels.
• Write engaging captions and schedule content.
• Research social media trends and suggest content ideas.
• Help maintain consistent branding.
• Track basic social media performance.

Research & Business Support

• Research competitors, business opportunities, and industry trends.
• Organize information into useful reports and spreadsheets.
• Create project plans and task lists.
• Follow up on assigned projects and deadlines.
• Identify opportunities to improve processes.

Future Opportunities

As we develop a working relationship, you may help with:

• Launching new businesses and projects.
• Coordinating content creators and freelancers.
• Managing marketing campaigns.
• Conducting market research and competitor analysis.
• Building and improving business systems.
• Helping manage multiple business ventures.

Ideal Candidate

I'm looking for someone who:

• Has excellent written English and communication skills.
• Is organized, dependable, and detail-oriented.
• Is comfortable using ChatGPT and other AI tools.
• Has experience with Canva and social media.
• Can research unfamiliar topics and learn independently.
• Takes initiative rather than waiting for instructions.
• Enjoys problem-solving and entrepreneurship.
• Communicates proactively about progress and challenges.

Experience supporting entrepreneurs, executives, or small-business owners is a plus.

You don't need to know everything. I'm looking for someone who is willing and able to learn.

Schedule & Compensation

We will start with approximately 10 hours per week, with flexible scheduling and some availability for meetings during California business hours.

The position starts at $7–$10 USD/hour depending on skills and experience.

We will begin with a 30-day paid trial. There is potential for additional hours, compensation growth, and expanded responsibilities based on performance and business needs.

How to Apply

Please include the following:

1. A brief introduction about yourself and your professional experience.
2. Examples of social media posts, designs, or projects you have worked on.
3. An example of a project or problem you handled independently. Explain what you did and the outcome.
4. Which AI tools, social media platforms, and project management tools you have used.
5. Your desired hourly rate and weekly availability.
