About the Role

We are a small business group looking for a dependable Administrative Operations Assistant to help with occasional administrative and compliance\-related tasks as they arise.

This role is ideal for someone who is comfortable handling follow\-ups, navigating online portals, and making phone calls to agencies to gather information. The work is not daily or ongoing — tasks come up periodically when notices, renewals, or administrative issues occur.

This is not a personal assistant role and does not involve email management, calendar scheduling, or social media.

What You’ll Be Doing (Specific Examples)

Tasks may include:

• Logging into government or agency portals (IRS, state sales tax, unemployment, business licensing) to review notices or account status
• Calling agencies to confirm requirements, deadlines, or payment details
• Reviewing annual report or renewal notices and identifying what action is required
• Gathering information and clearly summarizing next steps for approval
• Completing filings or payments after approval is given
• Keeping simple notes on what was completed and any upcoming deadlines

Example scenarios:

• Checking a state sales tax portal to see if a filing or payment is due
• Calling the unemployment office to confirm account status or reporting requirements
• Reviewing an annual report reminder and confirming the filing deadline and fee

Who This Role Is a Good Fit For

This role is a good fit if you:

• Are comfortable making phone calls and waiting on hold when needed
• Have experience with administrative, operations, or compliance\-related work
• Are organized and dependable
• Can work independently with clear instructions
• Are comfortable with irregular, as\-needed work rather than set weekly hours

Backgrounds that often do well in this role include administrative support, office administration, bookkeeping support, or operations assistance.
