LinkedIn Operations & Lead-Gen Virtual Assistant

LinkedIn Operations & Lead-Gen VA — Thoughtwise (Remote, Full-Time)

About Us

Thoughtwise is a Singapore-based B2B LinkedIn marketing agency. As a small, founder-led team, we help niche technical founders (vertical SaaS companies and boutique advisory firms) build thought leadership and generate leads through organic LinkedIn content and outbound strategy.

Why Join Thoughtwise

- You'll work directly with the founder: No middle manager, no bureaucracy. You'll see how client strategy gets made, not just the output end of it.
- You'll be ahead of the curve on AI. We're actively building AI-assisted workflows into our operations, so you'll be using and learning tools that most businesses are still figuring out. You’ll also get Claude Pro AI subscription (paid by us) if you join.
- There's a room for growth (in both job scope and compensation). This role starts in execution, but for the right person, it grows into a senior ops or account management role as the team scales.

The Role

We're looking for a sharp, detail-oriented VA to run our LinkedIn lead research and account operations. This is an execution role. You won't be setting strategy, but you will be the person inside LinkedIn and Sales Navigator daily, making sure the strategy translates into real activity — accurately, consistently, and on time.

What You'll Do

- Manage client LinkedIn accounts: schedule content, monitor notifications, respond to comments, and handle inbound messages in the client's voice following guidelines we provide
- Research and qualify leads against specific ICP criteria using LinkedIn Sales Navigator
- Build and maintain structured lead lists and outreach trackers (Google Sheets)
- Flag patterns, issues, or anything that looks off before it becomes a problem
- Handle occasional scheduling or light client-facing communications professionally
- Follow SOPs precisely and ask before guessing

What we're looking for

- Hands-on experience with LinkedIn and Sales Navigator
- Strong written and spoken English (you'll be writing as clients and occasionally communicating with them directly)
- Availability during Singapore business hours (SGT, GMT+8), 9am to 5pm
- (Good to have) Comfortable using AI tools e.g. Claude since we're building AI into our workflows and you'll pick it up on the job
- Reliable Executive: We always deliver on our promises/deadlines, speaking out honestly and constructively if expectations are impossible.
- Reputation protectors: Our clients trust us to manage their reputation online, so we are thoughtful and attentive to details
- Proactive Communicators: You solve problems early before they snowball, and take initiative to solve problems independently before asking for help

What we're not looking for

Someone who needs constant direction or treats remote work as a passive arrangement. This role suits someone who takes ownership of their work, communicates clearly when things are unclear, and wants to grow, not just collect a salary.

Compensation

USD $600–750/month depending on experience. Full-time, fully remote.

What the application process looks like

1. Apply with your resume (details below)
2. Paid test task: Shortlisted candidates will complete a short, paid task (~1-2 hours) that mirrors real work
3. Interview call: Shortlisted candidates will have a 20-30 minute conversation with the founder Sean
4. 30-day trial contract before moving to a full ongoing arrangement

If your qualifications and experience match our requirements, we will move forward to the next stage of the hiring process.

Otherwise, we will also let you know if we won’t be moving forward. (Don’t worry, we won’t keep you waiting for an answer indefinitely!)
