We’re Looking for a Detail-Oriented Virtual Administrative Assistant with Strong Excel Skills

Do you thrive on bringing order to busy workdays and enjoy working with data? We’re looking for someone who not only keeps operations running smoothly but also has advanced Excel skills—comfortable with spreadsheets, formulas, pivot tables, and turning information into clear reports. You’ll be the go-to person connecting people, projects, and clients, while ensuring our records and reporting are accurate, reliable, and easy to understand.

What You’ll Be Doing

Manage and update spreadsheets, applying formulas, pivot tables, and data organisation to support reporting and decision-making.
Record, organise, and share meeting notes in a timely and accurate way.
Manage incoming calls, emails, and client requests with professionalism and discretion.
Maintain up-to-date records across different platforms so information is always reliable and easy to find.
Support cross-department projects, helping teams stay on schedule.
Take care of everyday admin tasks like scheduling, document prep, and information management.
Explore and adopt tools or software that can improve how we work.
Handle all responsibilities with confidentiality and a professional approach.

Who We’re Looking For

Someone with strong Excel skills (spreadsheets, formulas, pivot tables, and reporting are second nature).
A clear, confident, and approachable communicator.
Highly organised and proactive—able to see what’s needed before being asked.
Detail-oriented and structured, with a natural ability to keep track of multiple moving parts.
Comfortable working independently in a remote setup while staying closely connected with the team.
Quick to learn and adapt to new systems, processes, and technologies.

What We Offer

40 days of paid annual leave.
A fully remote role—work from wherever you’re most productive.

Why You’ll Enjoy Working With Us

We believe strong teams are built on reliable support. Here, you won’t just be “doing admin”—your Excel and organisational skills will play a vital role in how we operate. You’ll collaborate with motivated colleagues who value initiative, teamwork, and genuine care for one another’s success. If creating order, supporting a fast-moving team, and making an impact through accurate reporting and efficient operations excites you, we’d love to hear from you.
