Remote Virtual Assistant Job at Pointr (Worldwide)

Between $1,500 and $2,000 a month, paid for full-time remote work: that's what Pointr is offering a Virtual Assistant to run its CEO's calendar and, above all, its executives' travel. The monthly range works out to roughly $18,000–$24,000 a year.

Travel is the heart of this role. Pointr says the most important part of the job is booking and rebooking flights, arranging hotels and organising airport pick-ups, particularly for its US-based managers, who are on the road often. If you enjoy untangling itineraries and staying calm when a flight gets cancelled at the last minute, this is built for you.

The role is a remote contractor/freelance position, and the listing says it's open worldwide. The catch is the clock: you'll need to work hours that line up with US Eastern Time and/or UK time.

Pointr builds indoor mapping, location and analytics technology. Its Pointr Maps platform helps people find their way around offices, retail sites, airports and hospitals. The company says it holds more than 20 patents, serves Fortune 100 customers and has deployed its technology in over 30 countries. Its stated core values are Ownership, Harmony and Scale, and it says it looks for people who are passionate, kind and free of ego.

Day-to-Day Responsibilities

• Manage the CEO's calendar across US Eastern and UK time zones: scheduling, rescheduling, prioritising and resolving clashes.
• Handle travel for the CEO, including flights, accommodation, transfers and itineraries, and ideally for all the US-based managers too. Expect frequent last-minute changes.
• Set up internal and external meetings with executives, partners and customers.
• Keep the inbox moving by drafting professional emails and following up on them.
• Coordinate through Slack, WhatsApp, email and calls.
• Track expenses and receipts and help with basic admin.
• Respond quickly and accurately to urgent requests.

Who Can Apply

• Proven experience supporting senior executives as a virtual or executive assistant.
• Strong calendar and scheduling skills across multiple time zones.
• Solid experience coordinating executive travel. International travel experience is preferred, as is handling several executives' trips at once.
• Excellent written and spoken English.
• Reliability and fast responses, including when plans change at short notice.
• Strong organisation and attention to detail.
• Availability aligned with Eastern Time and/or UK time.

Location and work authorisation: The listing says "Worldwide," but at least one job board shows the role as hiring remotely in the United States. Because this is a contractor position, check with Pointr before applying if you're outside the US. The listing doesn't mention visa sponsorship or work-authorisation requirements.

What the time-zone rule means in practice: If you live in Europe or West Africa, UK overlap is simple. If you're in the Americas, Eastern Time suits you. Elsewhere, you'd need to be comfortable working early mornings or late evenings, so be honest with yourself about that before applying.

Pay and Contract Details

• Pay: $1,500–$2,000 per month (about $18,000–$24,000 a year)
• Contract type: Remote contractor/freelancer
• Schedule: Full time, aligned with Eastern Time and/or UK time
• Location: Remote, listed as worldwide

Benefits

Pointr's listing doesn't mention any benefits. As a contractor role, don't assume standard employee perks such as paid leave or health cover, and ask about the terms before accepting.

Tools You'll Work With

You'll use Google Workspace (Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Sheets, Drive), Slack and WhatsApp, and Microsoft Teams, Zoom and Google Meet. Travel booking uses Google Flights, Expedia and Booking.com, and expenses go through Brex. If you've used Brex before, say so, because it's the one tool on the list that isn't universal.

How to Apply

Applications go through Pointr's careers portal on Ashby. The listing gives no closing date, so apply early if it interests you. Roles like this tend to be filled quickly.

A tip for your application: make travel your headline skill. A short example of a complex multi-leg itinerary you've handled, or how you'd rebook an executive after a cancelled flight, will show them the one thing the role cares about most.
