Virtual Assistant – Email Response Management

My inbox has outgrown my day, so I’m looking for a detail-minded Virtual Assistant who can step in and handle the daily flow of messages for me. Your main responsibility will be responding to emails promptly and professionally, following the tone and guidelines I’ll provide.

Here’s how the work will look: each morning you’ll review overnight correspondence, draft or send replies that address the sender’s questions, route anything that needs my personal input into a short priority list, and post a quick summary so I know what was handled. You’ll work inside Gmail, though familiarity with Outlook rules or other mail clients is a plus.

Turnaround time matters—ideally you’ll clear the queue within a few hours of receipt during my business day. Clear English, a friendly yet concise writing style, and solid judgment on when to escalate are essential. If things go smoothly we may expand the role later to include inbox organization or calendar scheduling, but for now I want to focus squarely on response management.

Deliverables I’ll use to confirm the work:
• All daily incoming emails answered or triaged by the agreed-upon cutoff time
• End-of-day summary noting any messages awaiting my input and the actions you took

If you’ve handled similar volumes before and can start quickly, I’d love to hear how you’d approach the first week on the job.
