Summary

• I am looking for a contract VA, located anywhere
  • You will be working about 40 hours a week but the focus will be on working through tasks, not worked hours

Payment

• You will be paid $400 a week
  • You will invoice monthly at the end of the month
  • You will be paid out via Wise within 3 days of approved invoice
  • This will include fair PTO after Month 1
  • We will review the pay after Month 1
    • If I am delighted, we will increase to $500 a week
• After 6 months we can review for a $2000 health insurance bonus / 13th month pay

Working style

• I will be hands off and respect your boundaries
  • No time trackers, screen shots, webcams. Lots of trust and fairness
  • In return, you will be expected to check in daily with what you did, what you’re doing next, and what you’re blocked on, plus anything else I ‘need to know’
• Contact will mainly be async - Loom, email
  • I don’t expect to speak to you over Whatsapp or Slack
  • We can have a call once a week or two weeks to check in
• You are able to “Manage Up” aka prioritise, estimate, and keep me updated
  • Failure to do this, and leaving me with “surprises” will not be okay
    • This is particularly important as we will work async
    • Good communication: “For me to do X by this date, I will need X, Y and Z”

What makes you a great fit

• You have 1+ year experience working directly with a SaaS founder
  • To be upfront, I am looking for someone with 2+ years experience, and testimonials from previous clients
• You are able to constantly work on your skills
  • I will push you to be better, and give you more complex tasks if you’re able to demonstrate self-teaching
    • This will lead to more pay
• Directness may not be in your nature, but it’s the way I ask to be communicated with
  • You are encouraged to push back, freely talk about ideas to improve strategies, management and organization of the business
• You are able to communicate concisely and plainly
  • Communication should be easy to understand not ‘fancy’
  • I dislike unnecessary formality, I am Olly, not Sir / Boss
• I am looking for someone with intuition - tasks will be set and outlined
  • But you would be expected to learn about the business and be constantly suggesting better ways to work, and new, relevant tasks
    • This will get easier over time, but the attitude needs to be there from Day 1
• You maintain and manage a list of tasks, constantly managing my understanding of progress
• Amazing attention to detail (any applications not demonstrating this will be ignored)
