We're a Canadian digital marketing agency looking for a sharp, reliable Virtual Assistant to support our marketing work and keep our day-to-day operations running smoothly. This is a full-time, long-term role for someone who wants to settle in, learn how we work, and grow with us — not a quick gig.
You'll touch a bit of everything: supporting SEO, social media, and newsletter work; handling reporting and data entry; keeping projects and tasks organized; and taking routine work off our plate so the team can focus. Most tasks come with written instructions or a short video walkthrough. We need someone who can take that, run with it, and come back with it done — without being chased.

Follow written SOPs and video guides to complete recurring tasks independently
Raise questions or roadblocks early, in writing, so nothing stalls
What we're looking for
Strong written and verbal English — you can write a clear message and get on a call when needed
High attention to detail — and the confidence to speak up when something doesn't look right, instead of just doing it anyway
Able to follow written tasks and video guides on your own — we'll give you the "how," you take it from there
Self-directed — you manage your own workload and deliver without being reminded
Proactive communicator — you flag problems the
Accountable — you own your work and your outcomes
Coachable — you take feedback well and apply it fast
Nice to have (not required)
Prior experience at a marketing agency or with an agency's clients
Familiarity with Google Workspace (Sheets, Docs, Drive), and any of: Basecamp, Slack, Canva, GBP, social schedulers, or SEO tools
Comfort learning new software quickly
Why work with us
Long-term, stable role with a team that communicates clearly and respects your time
Real ownership — once you've earned trust, you run your work without micromanagement
Room to grow into more specialized marketing work as you develop
