About this role
Location: Remote (Philippines-based VAs only)
Read this whole thing before you apply. If you skim it, you'll fail step one.
Smartland manages 1,400+ rental homes and apartments. The CEO moves fast and decides faster. This role exists to make him faster still: to remove friction, anticipate the next three steps, and never let a ball drop. You are his memory, his logic check, and his second brain.
This is not a calendar-and-coffee job. If that's what you're looking for, stop here.
What you'll actually do:
• Run the CEO's day so he doesn't have to think about logistics: calendar, travel, prep, follow-through.
• Catch things before they become problems.
• We expect you to flag what we missed. Hold the full picture in your head: who owes what, what's due when, which thread is still open.
• Turn vague direction into a finished result without being walked through it.
• Build and maintain checklists for everything, because nothing falls through a good checklist.
Who we're looking for:
• You think fast and you think clearly. Sloppy logic is a dealbreaker.
• Your memory is sharp. People are surprised by what you remember.
• You are relentlessly organized. You love checklists, genuinely, not as a line on a résumé.
• You're proactive. You'd rather ask forgiveness than wait for instructions on the obvious.
• You think strategically. You see why a task matters, not just what the task is.
• When the standard template doesn't fit, you build a better one.
Do not apply if:
• You need detailed instructions to start.
• You've ever said "that's not my job."
• You drop tasks and blame the volume.
• You're hoping to wing it. We will find out by week one.
