15 hours/week to start | US$500 for a paid 4-week trial | Opportunity to grow to 20 hours/week and US$600/month

We are a UK-based, mission-led travel eSIM startup. Our mission is simple: every time a customer buys an eSIM for a trip, we donate a share of the sale to an animal shelter in the country they are visiting. We are a one-person business, so you will work directly with the founder.

We already work with several shelter partners and want to grow that network. We are looking for a warm, organised and persistent coordinator who can help us find good animal charities, start genuine conversations and support new partners through onboarding.

This is not a generic VA role or a senior strategy position. It is a hands-on outreach and relationship-coordination role. We will provide the initial country priorities, partner criteria, outreach guidance and approval for non-standard decisions.

What success looks like

At the start, we care more about careful research, good communication and reliable follow-through than a rushed sign-up quota. A reasonable working target is around 25-40 well-researched new contacts per week, depending on the time each market requires.

We will review response rates and onboarding progress after the first 4-6 weeks, then agree realistic partner targets together.

Working arrangement

• Independent contractor role
• 15 hours per week during a paid 4-week trial
• US$500 for the 4-week trial
• After a successful trial, there is a path to 20 hours per week at US$600/month
• Mostly flexible, asynchronous work
• One or two agreed overlap windows each week with the founder in the UK
• Direct communication with the founder and regular feedback

The founder will initially keep responsibility for country priorities, sensitive charity checks, non-standard negotiations, changes to commercial terms and approval of public claims.

How to apply

Please send:

1. A short introduction explaining why this role interests you
2. A brief example of relevant outreach, research, partnership or onboarding work you have done
3. Your normal working hours and availability for UK overlap
4. Your expected monthly rate for 15 hours per week
5. A short answer to this question: How would you avoid making outreach to a dog shelter feel like a generic sales email?

Strong applicants will be invited to a short interview and a small paid skills task. The task will test written English, research accuracy, warmth, organisation and judgment. We do not ask candidates to complete unpaid speculative work. The founder will share full company details, including the brand name, with shortlisted candidates at interview stage.

We are looking for someone we enjoy working with and can trust to represent a mission-led brand thoughtfully. If that sounds like you, we would like to hear from you.

• Have excellent written and spoken English. This is essential
• Have experience with outreach, partnerships, lead generation, affiliate programmes, charity relationships or client onboarding
• Can research organisations and decision-makers accurately rather than sending mass messages
• Write warmly and professionally, with good judgment
• Are organised, dependable and comfortable managing follow-ups
• Can work independently, ask sensible questions and respond well to feedback
• Care about animal welfare and enjoy building genuine working relationships
• Have reliable internet and your own equipment

Experience with a CRM, affiliate or referral programmes, remote work for a UK or international company, or the charity sector is useful but not required.
