You’ll be working directly with a prestigious USA-based Commercial Contractor player who:

-
Values Your Growth: Provides access to a dedicated Remote Workmate Client Success Manager (CSM) for ongoing coaching, onboarding support, and performance check-ins.

What You’ll Be Owning This is a core administrative and operations leadership support role covering billing, purchasing, compliance, and client communications. You aren't just filing papers; you are organizing the operational infrastructure to ensure field staff and leadership are never slowed down by administrative bottlenecks.
You’ll take the lead on:
-
Purchasing & Expense Management: Writing and submitting Purchase Orders (POs) and accurately allocating job numbers to materials, credit card charges, and expenses.
-
Billing & Compliance: Managing service ticket billing, Certificates of Insurance (COI) requests, and outstanding invoice collections with letterhead-ready formatting.
-
Payroll & Field Operations Support: Managing the weekly timecard review and collection process (ExakTime), scheduling coordination, and administrative tracking (e.g., parking violations).
-
Sales Pipeline Maintenance: Keeping sales records and customer touchpoints accurate and up-to-date within HubSpot.
-
Workflow Optimization & AI Integration: Proactively finding gaps in processes and implementing AI tools (Claude), templates, and automations to cut down manual back-office tasks.
-
Client & Provider Communication: Serving as a clear, professional point of contact for external clients, vendors, and field teams.
Requirements
This Role Is a Great Fit If You:
-
Are an Operational Owner: You don't just wait to be told what to do; you proactively learn workflows, identify bottlenecks, and propose practical improvements.
-
Are Tech & AI-Adaptable: You are comfortable working across spreadsheets (Excel/Google Sheets), CRM systems (HubSpot), field platforms (ExakTime, Fieldwire), and AI tools like Claude.
-
Are Comfortable with Ambiguity: You thrive in a fast-paced environment where priorities can shift and you can adapt effortlessly across tasks.
-
Have 2+ years of experience in office administration, virtual assistance, or back-office operations (experience in construction or skilled trades is a plus).
-
Are High-Accountability: You manage multiple recurring deadlines—like payroll and billing—with zero missed targets, taking full ownership of your deliverables.
-
Communicate with elite fluency and professional confidence across written and verbal English.
What Success Looks Like
After 60–90 Days:
-
The Engine is Fortified: You have taken full ownership of the recurring PO, billing, COI, and weekly payroll support processes with high accuracy and zero missed deadlines.
-
Operations are Proactive: You are managing outstanding collections, vendor communications, and field schedules independently, surfacing issues before they become problems.
-
Efficiency is Measured: You have identified and proposed at least one concrete workflow improvement (template, automation, or AI prompt workflow) that saves manual time.
-
Trust is Earned: Leadership relies on your self-direction and reliability to run back-office administrative functions with minimal daily supervision.
Final Word If you’ve ever thought: "I am a world-class administrative professional who can keep complex operations moving, I just want a team that values my proactivity and strategic efficiency," this is that role.
Let’s build long-term success — together.
