Long-Term Part-Time Virtual Assistant

We are seeking a dependable, long-term Virtual Assistant to become part of our team. This is NOT a short-term position. We are looking for someone who wants consistent, ongoing part-time work for years to come.

The position will begin on a full-time basis as I will need to train you, but once you learn how to complete tasks quickly and efficiently, it will transition into a part-time role. Of course, if you wish to continue learning and developing and taking on additional responsibilities with us, that is absolutely welcome and I can work with you to provide you with more work.

I need someone who is genuinely switched on and can learn quickly, as there are many nuances to understand across the different brands we manage.

I need someone who is not afraid to ask questions or to ask for help when needed. I am always available and more than happy to assist. I will never punish you or hold it against you for asking questions or for seeking help. I would much rather help you do the job correctly the first time than have you redo the same work repeatedly because it was done incorrectly and you were too afraid to ask for support.

What You'll Be Doing:
This position is heavily focused on data entry and requires someone who is completely comfortable with mundane, repetitive work, reviewing data, photos, and numbers for extended periods.
1) Product Uploads (Main Task): Reviewing product images and entering the corresponding data/tags into Excel using a pre-established format. Attention to detail is critical. For example, if you are tagging a product that appears as a red apple, the exact tag must be "Red". All formats and rules will be explained.
2) Monthly Promotions Update: Assisting with updating monthly promotions, options, products, and banners. This takes place at the end of each month.
3) Brand Uploads: Uploading new brands, which follows a similar process to product uploads.
4) Stock Updates: Updating stock quantities for specific products. This is mainly once per month but may be more frequent for certain brands.

Training will be provided. There is a lot to take in at the beginning, but once you understand how everything works, it is a very straightforward, repeatable process. I am always here to help clarify anything.

Requirements:
- Proficient in Microsoft Excel or alternatives that are compatible with .xlsx and .csv files – REQUIRED
- Good English and good communication skills – REQUIRED
- Extremely detail-oriented and accurate with data entry
- Comfortable with repetitive / mundane tasks for long periods
- Able to work quickly and efficiently without sacrificing accuracy
- Can understand basic maths, such as percentages
- Can understand simple logic such as how many pairs of any two things can be made
- Reliable, honest, and looking for long-term work
- Happy to start work right away and ready to learn

Schedule & Workload:
- This is a part-time role (but will start as full time as I will need to train you).
- Regular weeks: Monday to Wednesday, Thursday and Friday may also be necessary during busier periods.
- End of month: You will be needed for the last few days of the month and first few days of the month to update monthly promotions and stock levels.

Compensation:
- $100 AUD / week for standard weeks (up to 3 days)
- $150 AUD / week for busier weeks (4 to 5 days)
- Paid weekly. Opportunity for more hours/pay as we grow.

How to Apply:
To be considered, please start your application with the words "SWITCHED ON" so I know you read the whole post.

Please include:
- A short intro about yourself
- Your experience with Excel / data entry / product uploads
- Your availability to start
- Applications without "SWITCHED ON" will not be considered.

I look forward to working with you!
