Required Virtual Assistant skills and experience:

As a Virtual Assistant, you’ll provide seamless administrative and operational support to businesses and individuals, keeping everything running smoothly behind the scenes. From managing schedules to handling correspondence, you’ll be the backbone of daily operations.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Calendar & Inbox Management – You’ll handle scheduling, emails, and prioritising tasks like a pro.

  • Administrative Support – From coordinating appointments to managing online errands, your organisational skills will keep things efficient.

  • Communication & Research – Handling calls, setting reminders, and digging deep into research for reports and presentations.

  • File & Meeting Management – Organising digital files, preparing documents, and taking detailed meeting minutes.

  • Travel & Event Coordination – Booking travel, scheduling webinars, and ensuring smooth logistics when needed.

  • Basic Financial Admin & CRM Management – While not mandatory, experience with invoicing, CRM systems, and financial record-keeping is a plus!

  • Basic Design Skills – Familiarity with Canva (or similar tools) will be beneficial.

What We’re Looking For

  • Superb Organisation Skills – You thrive on structure and know how to keep things running like clockwork.

  • Excellent Communication – Professional-level written and spoken English skills are essential.

  • Tech-Savvy & Adaptable – You’re comfortable learning new software, using AI, and other platforms.

  • Detail-Oriented & Problem-Solver – Your attention to detail is second to none. No challenge is too big or too small for you!

  • Proactive & Self-Sufficient – You take initiative and don’t wait for instructions to get things done.

  • Account Management & Growth - You are great at building relationships, strong partnerships, and growing with clients and their businesses.

  • South African Citizen or Permanent Resident – This role is location-specific, and you need to be legally allowed to work in South Africa.

Bonus Skills That Will Set You Apart

Many of our clients look for additional expertise beyond core admin tasks. If you have any of these skills, you’ll have a competitive edge:

  • Sales & Customer Support

  • Financial Admin & Support

  • Project Management - managing and supporting role-specific projects

  • Experience working with international clients

  • Experience working across multiple industries and projects / clients


If you’re looking for a client-focused, people-first company that values your skills and provides a flexible, remote work environment, then Outsourcery is the place for you!
