• Manage insurance policies end to end, including comparing providers, verifying coverage, and coordinating carrier changes
• Coordinate with utility providers, vendors, and service companies to set up and maintain accounts for properties
• Follow up on open items with third parties until they are fully resolved, not just until the first response is received
• Maintain and update internal process documentation and task guides
• Track recurring administrative tasks and ensure nothing is missed or left incomplete
• Flag issues with clear context and a proposed solution rather than an open question
• Communicate proactively about availability and schedule changes in advance

Mandatory Skills:

• Proven ability to take a process from A to Z and complete it without step-by-step supervision
• Exceptional attention to detail and accuracy with documentation, records, and numbers
• Strong problem-solving skills, including the ability to think two steps ahead and find alternative routes when blocked
• Experience with administrative coordination involving external providers, vendors, or service companies
• Comfort working with financial records such as receipts, payments, and bank reconciliation
• Ability to apply feedback quickly and consistently without repeated correction
• Reliable, detail-oriented, and able to work independently
• Strong communication skills, including proactive updates on progress and availability

Preferred Skills:

• Experience supporting US real estate operations and familiarity with related terminology
• Background in bookkeeping or payment tracking
• Experience creating or maintaining SOPs, guides, or process documentation
• Ability to manage multiple ongoing processes simultaneously

This is a long-term opportunity to become a trusted right hand within a small, established operation where your work has visible impact.
