Remote Administrative Assistant for College Students

Can you bring order to chaos and turn everyday tasks into opportunities for growth? That’s what this remote administrative assistant role is all about. Here, your sharp organization skills, empathy, and attention to detail will help college students achieve more—without feeling overwhelmed by the day-to-day noise.

The Difference You’ll Make

Imagine hundreds of college students reaching out for support—questions about deadlines, financial aid, campus life, or academic resources. Your steady hand keeps things moving, making sure no student falls through the cracks. You’ll empower students to focus on what truly matters: their education and personal development. Every message answered, every form processed, every gentle reminder—your work keeps the engine of higher education running smoothly.

What You’ll Tackle

You’re not just answering emails—you’re translating uncertainty into action steps. You’ll:

• Manage digital calendars, prioritize meeting requests, and coordinate events that bring students together from across the country.
• Guide students through onboarding, ensuring they get connected with the right resources from day one.
• Handle scholarship requests, registration materials, and time-sensitive documents using our secure online tools—ensuring every important detail is captured and processed without delay.
• Be the go-to for troubleshooting remote learning platforms, helping students and faculty get back on track fast.
• Track important deadlines and send gentle, proactive reminders that keep students ahead of the curve.
• Capture feedback from students in real time, surfacing insights to help improve campus services.

Tools and Tech You’ll Use

You’ll be at the center of our digital campus—leveraging remote collaboration tools like Slack, Zoom, Notion, and Google Workspace. Expect to switch seamlessly between spreadsheet management, online scheduling, and project tracking platforms. You’ll navigate digital workflows with confidence, always seeking ways to streamline and improve how things get done.

What Success Looks Like

Your success isn’t measured in emails sent or tasks checked off—it’s in the gratitude of a student who found help in a moment of stress, or a project that came together because you made sure the details were right. When you’re doing your best work, students feel supported and confident. They know there’s someone in their corner, ready to help—no matter the time zone.

The Way We Work

We move quickly, but you’ll always have space to focus deeply and do your best thinking. Expect autonomy in your workflow and encouragement to speak up when you identify an opportunity to improve things. You’ll partner closely with academic advisors, IT support, and student affairs—building bridges across departments so students never have to navigate silos.

Qualities That Shine Here

You see patterns others miss and anticipate needs before they become urgent. You simplify complex instructions into bite-sized, actionable steps—whether it’s over a quick Zoom call or a detailed chat thread. Multitasking doesn’t faze you. You’re comfortable managing several priorities and shifting gears without losing sight of the goal: making student life easier.

Growth, Learning, and Support

You’re never alone here. Regular training, open feedback channels, and a supportive remote team mean you’re always learning—both about our digital tools and the bigger mission of educational equity. If you identify a recurring problem, you’ll have the autonomy and support to design a more effective solution. Here, your ideas matter.

A Story From Our Team

Last spring, one of our assistants noticed students struggling to navigate a new scholarship application. Rather than wait for problems to pile up, she created a step-by-step guide, hosted a virtual Q&A, and set up calendar reminders for applicants. The result? Application rates soared, and stress plummeted. That’s the kind of impact you’ll have.

Compensation and Benefits

This is a fully remote position, with an annual salary of $54,000. We offer flexibility, wellness support, and the chance to shape processes in a high-trust environment. Your time and expertise are valued here.
