The Role

You'll be the operational backbone of our rental process, the person who makes sure every driver gets onboarded smoothly, every agreement is signed and filed, every payment is tracked, and every customer question gets answered quickly and professionally. You'll work hand-in-hand with our Fleet Coordinator to keep vehicles moving and drivers on the road. This is a high-trust role with a lot of ownership; the right person will eventually help us build and document the systems that run the business.

Schedule vehicle pickups and walk new drivers through the agreement

Rental agreements & documentation Prepare, send, and track rental agreements via e-signature

Ensure every signed agreement, ID, and supporting document is filed correctly

Manage renewals, extensions, and termination paperwork

Billing & payments Set up and monitor recurring (weekly) rental payments and deposits

Send invoices and receipts; follow up on late or failed payments

Answer questions, resolve issues, and escalate appropriately

Maintain a friendly, professional, solutions-first tone at all times

Handle insurance admin (adding/removing drivers, claim paperwork intake)

Keep our Notion workspace and CRM accurate and up to date

Maintain and improve standard operating procedures (SOPs)

Reporting Send weekly reports on active rentals, fleet utilization, payments collected, and outstanding balances

What We're Looking For

2+ years as a virtual assistant, in operations, or in customer service (car rental, automotive, or logistics a strong plus)

Excellent written and spoken English, you'll be customer-facing

Highly organized and detail-oriented; you don't let things slip through the cracks

Comfortable with tools like Notion, GoHighLevel (or similar CRM), Google Workspace, e-signature platforms, and payment processors
