About the Client:
Our client is an elite, Class-A licensed luxury residential remodeling company based in Richmond, Virginia. Founded on a "tradesman, not a salesman" philosophy, the firm was established to eliminate the communication gaps, surprise costs, and extended timelines common in the construction industry.
The company specializes in high-end projects, including whole-home renovations, custom home additions, and luxury kitchen and bathroom remodels. Renowned for its flawless reputation and over 100 five-star reviews from premium homeowners, the firm differentiates itself through "White Glove Delivery"—featuring locked-in fixed pricing, complete 3D digital planning before construction begins, and clean, daily-managed job sites.
About the Role:
The Bilingual Administrative Assistant / Receptionist is a pivotal, full-time remote role designed to act as the primary operational backbone and professional face of the company. Based out of Latin America, the assistant will seamlessly bridge the gap between premium homeowners, sub-contractors, vendors, and the on-site build team.
This multi-faceted position combines high-touch customer service (managing incoming luxury client leads and online reviews) with strict project coordination (inputting hours into Houzz software, securing W-9/insurance compliance from subcontractors, and tracking fleet logistics). Ultimately, this role is designed to absorb day-to-day administrative burdens so executive leadership can focus entirely on elite building execution and client consultations.
