About This Role
I'm the founder of PreferNP LLC, a US healthcare services company, and I'm looking for one exceptional person to work directly with me as my executive assistant and remote right hand. This is not a generic VA role. I want someone genuinely sharp, fast-thinking, and driven, who can take a vague request and run with it without hand-holding.
If you're the kind of person who figures things out, takes initiative, and takes pride in doing excellent work, this role rewards that. I pay well for talent and give raises for performance. The right person will grow into more responsibility and earnings over time.
