Temporary Email Assistant Needed to Help Me Triage, Organize, and Clear My Inbox
I’m looking for a highly organized, detail-oriented person to help me get my inbox under control. I run a fast-paced business and have fallen behind on emails—this role is a short-term, collaborative project to help me clear the backlog, respond to priority messages, and build simple systems to keep things clean moving forward.
We’ll work together at first (via Zoom or Loom) so you can get a feel for what’s urgent, what can be deleted, and how I communicate. I may ask you to summarize, flag, organize, and even draft simple replies for me in my voice (I’ll guide you). You’ll need excellent judgment, communication skills, and the ability to move quickly without sacrificing quality.
Key Tasks:
Go through emails (mostly Gmail), prioritize by urgency
Flag, archive, delete as needed
Summarize important threads and create a task list
Draft replies based on examples I give you
Set up filters, folders, and a light system to stay on top moving forward
Requirements:
Great with email and Gmail specifically
Experience as a virtual or executive assistant a plus
Excellent written communication in English
Able to start ASAP
Discreet, respectful of privacy/confidentiality
Bonus if:
You’ve worked with entrepreneurs or creative professionals before
You’re proactive and good at filtering noise from signal
You’re comfortable taking light direction and running with it
This should only be a few hours a day over the next 5–7 days. If it goes well, might have other work for you.
Please apply with:
A short note about why this is a good fit for you
A brief example of a time you helped someone organize or communicate better
Your hourly rate and availability this week
