JOB OVERVIEW

NexLevel AI Solutions is hiring a highly trustworthy, detail-oriented virtual assistant to help organize and advance a private portfolio of original consumer-product inventions.

The primary project is an original infant-product concept moving toward prototype development, intellectual-property protection, manufacturing research, and potential licensing. Additional inventions may be added later.

This position involves confidential and potentially valuable intellectual property. The selected applicant must sign a confidentiality agreement, independent-contractor agreement, and intellectual-property/work-product assignment before receiving any nonpublic invention information.

RESPONSIBILITIES
- Maintain a secure master tracker for every invention
- Organize inventor notes, drawings, specifications, research, photos, and revisions
- Create dated version histories and development logs
- Conduct preliminary competitor and prior-art research without giving legal conclusions
- Research prototype developers, industrial designers, testing labs, and manufacturers
- Request and organize quotes only after written approval
- Maintain product requirements, vendor comparisons, prototype tasks, costs, and deadlines
- Prepare information for patent counsel and product-development professionals
- Research appropriate safety standards and qualified testing resources
- Build lists of potential licensees, manufacturers, and strategic partners
- Help prepare confidential pitch materials and product summaries
- Never disclose, publish, upload, advertise, or discuss an invention without written permission
- Never upload invention files to unauthorized AI systems or use the work in a portfolio
- Never contact manufacturers or licensees without written approval

REQUIRED
- Excellent written English and exceptional attention to detail
- Proven discretion with confidential information
- Product research, sourcing, manufacturing research, or project-coordination experience
- Strong Google Drive and Google Sheets skills
- Ability to document sources and distinguish facts from assumptions
- Experience with consumer products, prototypes, technical packages, patents, or licensing preferred
- Willingness to sign legally binding confidentiality and intellectual-property agreements

PAY & HOURS
- Initial paid test using a fictional product only
- Starting schedule: 5-10 hours/week
- Starting rate: $6-$8/hour depending on demonstrated experience
- More hours may become available as projects advance

HOW TO APPLY
Your first line must say exactly:
NEXLEVEL READY - INVENTIONS

Then answer every question:
1. Describe your experience with product development, manufacturing research, sourcing, or inventions.
2. Have you handled confidential business information before? Explain without violating another client's confidentiality.
3. How would you organize several versions of drawings and specifications?
4. How would you research and verify a potential manufacturer?
5. Explain the difference between verified research and an assumption.
6. Which project-management, research, and document-management tools have you used?
7. Are you comfortable signing confidentiality, contractor, and intellectual-property assignment agreements?
8. Can you agree not to use this work in your portfolio or discuss it publicly?
9. Give your availability in Eastern Time and requested hourly rate.
10. Provide one relevant, non-confidential work sample if available.

Do not send generic claims. I am looking for specific experience, good judgment, precise communication, and exceptional respect for confidentiality.
