Role Description This is a remote position. Do you love digging into a market, sizing up the competition, and coming back with a clear-eyed recommendation? Are you the kind of person who can research five different business models in a week, keep a founder on track without being asked twice, and turn a messy idea into a structured plan? If you thrive on ambiguity, enjoy building things from scratch, and want a front-row seat as new ventures take shape, this opportunity could be the perfect fit for you. The Role: Business Development & Research Virtual Assistant Imagine being the research partner and accountability system behind a founder exploring what to build next. Every market you scan, every expert you interview, and every report you deliver helps turn a rough idea into a business with real legs. You're not just gathering information. You're helping evaluate which ventures are worth pursuing, whether that's a consulting practice, an AI-powered product, a real estate play, or something not yet on the table. From researching competitors to setting up the compliance backbone a new entity needs, your work directly shapes which ideas move forward and how well they're built. You thrive on structure in unstructured situations, are comfortable reaching out to strangers for insight, and don't wait to be told the next step. Whether you're comparing three business models side by side, chasing down a deadline, or drafting the first SOP for a brand-new process, you bring rigor, initiative, and follow-through to everything you touch. What Your Days Might Look Like: - Conduct extensive research on potential business ventures, including consulting services, AI applications, real estate development, and other entrepreneurial opportunities. - Help identify and evaluate 2-3 initial business ideas by researching market viability, competition, and potential profitability. - Reach out to industry experts and mentors to gather professional insights and recommendations for business development. - Prepare detailed reports with pros-and-cons analysis for each business concept under consideration. - Assist in developing systems, processes, and compliance frameworks from the ground up to ensure strong business foundations. - Hold the founder accountable for project timelines and deadlines, proactively following up on milestones and deliverables. - Support in setting up legal entity structures and ensuring compliance with government regulations at the state, municipal, and federal levels. - Collaborate on creating SOPs and training structures as the business develops. - Work across multiple projects simultaneously once initial ventures are established. - Present findings clearly and be prepared to discuss recommendations during regular check-ins. - Ask clarifying questions proactively to avoid misunderstandings and keep projects moving forward. - Adapt to ambiguity and stay comfortable working in an evolving startup environment where processes are still being defined. Qualifications - Strong research and analytical skills, with the ability to conduct thorough market research and present well-thought-out findings. - Ability to work independently with minimal supervision and are self-motivated to complete tasks without constant oversight. - Confident communication skills, comfortable reaching out to experts and stakeholders to gather information and insight. - Ability to prepare clear, detailed, well-organized written reports. - Experience developing ideas from concept to execution, or supporting someone who has successfully built ventures from the ground up. - Comfortable holding others accountable, including proactively following up on deadlines and deliverables. - Organized and able to manage multiple projects, priorities, and open threads at once. - Resourceful when researching unfamiliar industries, tools, or regulatory requirements. - Comfortable with ambiguity and can bring structure to a process that's still being defined. - Enjoy collaborating and thriving in a remote team environment. - Willing to work in a US time zone schedule. Requirements - At least a 720p HD webcam. - A noise-canceling headset. - A primary internet connection of at least 25 Mbps. - A backup laptop, backup internet device, and backup power source. - A main computer with at least Intel Core i5 (or equivalent) and 8 GB RAM. - A backup computer with at least Intel Core i3 and 4 GB RAM. Benefits - Fair and timely compensation. - Prepaid HMO coverage for your peace of mind. - Growth opportunities with tools, training, and honest feedback. - Celebration of your wins. - A caring work environment.
