Job overview

Bright Path Learning Group is seeking a remote Virtual Assistant for Course Creators to help keep online education businesses organized before, during, and after a course launch. The work combines creator-side administration with student-facing support: managing inboxes and calendars, helping new learners get started, updating course materials, keeping communities welcoming, and coordinating launch activities across the people and tools involved.

This is a broad course-operations support role rather than a position focused only on community moderation or answering student questions. You may work with course platforms such as Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific, or Podia; community spaces such as Circle, Discord, or Facebook Groups; and email tools such as ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, or Mailchimp. The exact tool mix depends on the assignment. Paid training is provided, and previous online course or virtual assistant experience is not required.

This opportunity may suit career changers, recent graduates, people who have taken online courses themselves, and candidates interested in online education, coaching, or the creator economy. Strong organization, careful written communication, and a warm approach to helping students are more important than arriving with a long list of platform credentials.

No prior course or creator experience required

You do not need to have worked for an online educator before. You should be comfortable learning web-based tools, following documented processes, keeping information organized, and writing clear, encouraging messages. Training covers the relevant course platforms, student-support workflows, and launch coordination practices for the assignment.

Employment options and launch cycles

Full-time schedules typically run about 40 hours per week; part-time schedules typically run 20–25 hours per week. Contract opportunities may also be available. Course launches can create busier periods, and some assignments may need occasional evening or weekend coverage. Confirm the schedule, time zone, launch expectations, and contract terms during the interview.

What you'll do

Manage the course creator's inbox and calendar, organize appointments, and flag time-sensitive messages.
Support student onboarding, welcome emails, access instructions, and first-week learner communications.
Answer routine student questions by email or in approved course communities, escalating issues that need an instructor or specialist.
Help maintain Circle, Discord, or Facebook Group spaces with clear updates, useful resources, and respectful community practices.
Coordinate course launches by tracking email sequences, webinar details, launch dates, and follow-up tasks.
Update lesson materials, resource links, course announcements, and platform content as directed.
Handle routine administration in Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific, Podia, or the platform used for the course.
Coordinate logistics with coaches, guest experts, affiliates, copywriters, designers, and editors.
Support live Q&A sessions and webinars, including reminders, attendee questions, and follow-up resources.
Track student progress, course completion, participation, and engagement using approved reports or spreadsheets.
Maintain launch calendars, campaign timelines, documentation, and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
Manage customer-support tickets and route refund requests according to the applicable policy; do not promise exceptions or issue unapproved refunds.
Assist with launch-related email and social updates using approved copy and schedules.

How the work fits together

The mix of tasks changes across the course lifecycle. During a quieter course week, you might update lesson links, check the learner inbox, and prepare the next webinar. Before a launch, you may coordinate deadlines with a copywriter and designer, check that welcome emails are scheduled, and confirm the webinar calendar. After enrollment opens, you may help students access the course, organize recurring questions for the instructor, and track engagement so the team can follow up appropriately.

Accuracy matters throughout this workflow: dates must match across calendars and messages, links should be checked before they are shared, and student information should be handled only through the approved systems. The assistant supports the creator and course team; teaching, policy decisions, and specialist questions remain with the appropriate person.

Required qualifications

High school diploma or equivalent.
Strong written English and the ability to communicate clearly, professionally, and warmly with students and creators.
Good organization and calendar-management habits, including the ability to track several deadlines without losing details.
Comfort using web-based platforms, or a demonstrated willingness to learn course tools such as Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific, or Podia.
Comfort learning community tools such as Circle, Discord, or Facebook Groups and email tools such as ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, or Mailchimp.
Careful handling of lesson links, campaign dates, student records, and support requests.
Reliability and responsiveness during the agreed working hours, with the ability to work independently in a remote environment.
Reliable internet access and a quiet workspace suitable for focused work and occasional online meetings.
No prior virtual assistant, online course, or creator-economy experience is required. No degree, certification, coding, or design background is required to start.

Preferred qualifications

Previous virtual assistant, administrative, customer-support, or course-support experience.
Familiarity with one or more course platforms: Kajabi, Teachable, Thinkific, or Podia.
Experience helping manage Circle, Discord, or Facebook Groups.
Exposure to ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, or similar email marketing tools.
Experience with course launches, webinars, cohort-based programs, or learner onboarding.
Spanish/English bilingual communication skills.
An interest in online education, coaching, digital learning, or the creator economy.
