About Your Startup Operations

Your Startup Operations is a boutique agency providing operational services to small businesses. We work primarily with small business owners in the United States and our vision is to give power to the people who own small businesses by delivering white glove service while maintaining flexibility, care, and affordability.

About the Position

We are looking for an exceptionally organized, resourceful, and trustworthy Remote Personal Assistant to support a busy U.S.-based client across personal, household, and day-to-day responsibilities.

This is a hands-on role for someone who enjoys making life easier for another person. You will manage appointments, travel, purchases, research, vendors, paperwork, household logistics, and a wide variety of special requests.

The right person does not need detailed instructions for every task. You know how to research unfamiliar requests, evaluate options, solve problems, follow up, and take something from request to completion.

Our SCORE Values

• Solution-focused: Think critically and propose solutions independently.
• Curiosity: Ask questions and actively seek understanding.
• Ownership: Take full accountability and responsibility for your role.
• Resourcefulness: Use all available resources to solve challenges or answer questions.
• Excellence: Deliver high-quality work and exceptional results.

Who You Are

• You are exceptionally organized and detail-oriented.
• You are resourceful and comfortable figuring out unfamiliar requests.
• You anticipate needs instead of waiting for instructions.
• You take ownership of tasks from start to finish and close loops without being reminded.
• You communicate clearly, concisely, and professionally.
• You have excellent judgment and know when to make a decision versus when to ask.
• You are discreet and comfortable handling confidential personal information.
• You enjoy variety and can shift between very different types of tasks throughout the day.
• No request feels "too small" for you, and unfamiliar requests do not intimidate you.
• You genuinely enjoy making someone's life more organized and easier to manage.

Hint: On your first interview, mention which SCORE value you most align with at the end of the interview for huge bonus points.
