The Role

We’re looking for a proactive, organised, communication-driven Virtual Assistant to support our outbound and client-based LinkedIn messaging. You’ll work closely with our founder, HR team, and department leads to ensure LinkedIn conversations remain active, timely, and professional.

This is a 20- 25-hour-per-week, remote , unpaid internship designed for students in a work-study program or those currently enrolled in a degree — though recent grads wanting real experience are also welcome.

If you’re studying communications, business, marketing, psychology, HR, or any field where messaging, relationships, and organisation matter, you’ll gain hands-on experience that universities can’t replicate.

What You Will Gain From This Role

• Real-world experience in professional communication and client interaction
• Training in LinkedIn outreach frameworks and best practices
• Experience managing inbound and outbound communication across multiple industries
• Insight into business development, lead nurturing, and client handling
• Skills in admin organisation, message tracking, and follow-up workflows
• Mentorship from leaders and exposure to multiple departments
• A strong recommendation letter upon successful completion
• Potential continuation into part-time or full-time work
• Opportunity to build a communication portfolio showcasing real conversations and outreach sequences

If you want hands-on experience in client communication, LinkedIn management, and business messaging, this internship builds a strong foundation.

• Fast to communicate
• Organised and detail-oriented
• Clear and professional in writing

A basic understanding of communication etiquette or business messaging is helpful, but your willingness to learn and take initiative matters most.
