Administrative & Operations Assistant (Contract)

Guelph/Ontario, Canada | ~2–4 hours/day (approx. 8:00–11:00 AM) | $21–$30 CAD/hour (commensurate with experience)

About the Company

We run a growing online school delivering subject-based ESL lessons to students in China. Our team includes 9 agents who support a network of 129 freelance teachers located around the world. We're a small, fast-moving operation and we're looking for someone to help keep things running smoothly. www.organiceducation.ca

The Role

The director currently handles a wide range of day-to-day tasks and needs a reliable in-person assistant to take many of these off her plate. This is a contract position requiring physical presence in our Ontario office for a few hours each morning. In the future, the role may shift to a hybrid arrangement — and for the right person, there is real potential to grow into a broader operations role.

What You'll Be Doing

• Managing scheduling and calendar coordination
• Filing, organizing, and general office administration
• Communicating with agents on behalf of management
• Basic bookkeeping using QuickBooks
• Building PowerPoint presentations (based on provided outlines/plans)
• Screening job applicants
• Handling miscellaneous tasks as needed

What We're Looking For

• Organized, dependable, and proactive
• Comfortable with Microsoft Office (especially PowerPoint) and general computer tasks
• Some experience with QuickBooks or basic bookkeeping is an asset
• Strong written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work independently with minimal supervision

Why Join Us

This role is a great fit for someone who enjoys variety, wants flexible morning hours, and is looking for a foot in the door with a growing company. As we expand, we're hoping to find someone who can eventually take on day-to-day operations — so there's real room to grow.
