Who is this a good fit for?

You have a repeatable set of work today and want the same person to grow into owning more of an operational lane, with you setting direction. You want someone to own AI and systems inside that lane: rolling out tools, automating recurring steps and helping your team use them. You'd like help making the relationship work: what to hand over, how to communicate and how to start. That's common for a first remote hire, or after a past hire or agency didn't work out. Your work has a clear loop someone can own, like customer updates and issue flagging, proposals and bookings, or reporting and SOPs. You'll direct the assistant and give feedback, and you want us coaching both of you through the first 90 days.

Quick answer

How hiring an operations assistant works with A Team Overseas

A membership that finds, places and supports Philippines-based executive, operations and marketing assistants who work on the client's payroll.

Membership: $500/month, up to 3 placements a year and 1 free replacement.
Your assistant: Paid directly by the client, $1,200–2,000/month for full-time engagements, by experience tier, agreed before placement.
First month: The paid trial month starts on the assistant's first day. The first invoice is issued that day and is due within 7 days. No early-exit fee applies if you leave at the end of the trial month.
After the trial: An annual membership commitment starts in month two. Early exit after the trial requires 30 days' written notice, with fees owed through the notice period, plus an early-exit fee equal to the lesser of 3 months' membership fees or the remaining year's membership fees (a maximum of $1,500 at $500/month).
Extras: Optional add-ons, not included in the membership-plus-assistant-pay total: Managed Payments ($150/month) and security covering VPN and MDM tools ($100/month).
Working hours: We match working hours to any timezone, including US, Australia, UK and Asia hours. Candidates are told the required hours before meeting you, and we only propose people available for those hours.
Reporting: We do not provide screen monitoring. Assistants send an end-of-day report. Any more detailed time tracking must be agreed between you and your assistant.
Talent: We specialize in more senior talent: mid-level assistants who are resourceful, proactive, reliable and AI-enabled.
Matching: A shortlist of 2–4 candidates (resume, rate, fit notes, intro video), usually in the first week, with a 1–2 week match target.
Support: Check-ins weekly in month one, then every two weeks or monthly through day 90, then as needed.
Best for: Founders and small teams with named, recurring work who want a guided start, including first-time remote hires.

Talent trusted by fast moving startups and agencies

Start with a loop someone can own.

The placements that last start with a clear, recurring loop of work. Your operations assistant takes it over, documents it and keeps it running. Common starting loops:

Customer updates and flagging issues before they escalate
Proposals, bookings and scheduling
Weekly reporting and the SOPs behind it
Onboarding and offboarding checklists for clients and staff
Invoicing, expense tracking and payment follow-ups

I've tried hiring assistants in the past and it never really worked out. I found it very challenging. I always wondered “What are the tasks and how should I give them to my assistant?“. Now I'm set up with an amazing EA. A Team Overseas has been really helpful because they support both the executive and the assistant in the whole process.

Then they own the systems and AI in that lane.

Once the loop runs smoothly, your assistant improves how it runs: rolling out tools, automating recurring steps and helping your team use them. You set direction and give feedback; we coach both of you through the first 90 days.

Automate recurring steps with the tools you already use
Keep SOPs current as the work changes
Send an end-of-day report on what moved

Then they own the systems and AI in that lane.

Operations Assistant Job Description

An Operations Assistant from A Team Overseas owns a defined operational lane. They start with the recurring work you hand over, write down how it runs, and take on more of the lane as they prove it, with you setting direction.

Run the recurring loop – Customer updates, bookings, reporting or back-office tasks, done on schedule.
Document and improve it – Write and update SOPs, and fix the steps that keep breaking.
Own the tools – Roll out and automate the systems and AI tools inside the lane, and help your team use them.
Flag issues early – Raise problems and propose fixes instead of waiting to be asked.
Report daily – An end-of-day report on what moved and what needs you.

Not the right role for: a director or manager for a function you haven't defined yet, or finished deliverables without anyone directing the work.

I've worked with two separate EAs from Kevin's team. Both times, they've felt like co-founders. They're proactive, resourceful, and extremely well-equipped. Kevin has created a system that works, and I can't recommend them enough.

Brian Scherer

I have much more time for stuff that matters and feel much more at ease not checking my inbox every 2 minutes. A Team Overseas has top talent, great onboarding, and good EA training for a fair price. I would 10 out of 10 recommend them to a friend.
