About the role
- The Executive & Administrative Support VA provides structured administrative, coordination, and client-facing support to Ryan Abraham, Manager of Fixated Funding.
- The primary purpose of this role is to remove document chasing, follow-ups, system updates, and timeline monitoring from Ryan’s workload so he can focus on client conversations and loan strategy.
- This role begins after a loan is approved.
- The VA supports post-approval loan execution, including requesting required documents, coordinating signatures on agreements, tracking completion timelines, and ensuring all required items move forward cleanly and on time through closing.
- The VA works inside existing systems and SOPs (primarily Smartsheet-driven workflows) and operates directly within active client communication threads.
- Success in this role depends on strong organization, clear communication, sound judgment, and the ability to proactively close gaps before they become delays.

- - Able to adapt tone, pacing, and wording based on client responses while maintaining professionalism with internal teams and external partners.
