15 hours ago10 proposalsRemoteAdministrative Lead Research & Outreach Assistant
We’re a small East London brand studio working with newly-registered UK companies. We need someone to run the top of our outreach funnel: finding the right companies, finding the right person inside them, and preparing outreach that doesn’t read like a template. This is a structured, SOP-driven role — you’ll follow a written process (provided, and thorough) rather than invent one. We’re looking for someone who can work independently from clear instructions and make good judgement calls within them. What you’d do: • Pull newly-registered UK companies from Companies House (daily search, provided criteria) • Find the right contact — LinkedIn, company website, or verified email • Research one genuine, specific detail about each company (60 seconds each) and draft a short personalised opener • Keep a tracker accurate and up to date • Route anything price/scope-related straight to us — you’re never quoting or promising on our behalf What we’re looking for: • Comfortable with structured research — Companies House, LinkedIn, verification tools • Strong attention to detail; accurate entries matter more than fast ones • Clear written English — you’ll be drafting outreach copy, so writing quality matters • Able to follow a detailed SOP independently, without frequent check-ins • UK-based preferred (local knowledge helps with the research) Hours & rate: ~6 hours/week to start, room to grow as the pipeline does. £13–£18/hour depending on experience. Paid weekly, reviewed after the first fortnight. How to apply: tell us about a time you followed a detailed process independently and caught an error or judgement call the instructions hadn’t anticipated. Include your hourly rate. Shortlisted applicants get a short PAID trial (details on request) before anything’s agreed.

Build a verified list of 300 UK B2B companies
I need a meticulous researcher to build a verified list of 300 UK B2B companies for a supplier-sourcing project. This is precision research against a written specification — quality matters far more than speed. A complete step-by-step guide exists for this project: the sectors to cover with exact targets for each, recommended sources and a checklist. The thinking is done — the job is careful execution. The guide is shared only with the freelancer I select. In brief: every company must pass a short set of verification checks every entry needs a defined set of data fields plus proof links, and certain types of company are automatically rejected under our screening rules. Full details are in the guide. Quality control: entries are audited at random against their proof links. Entries that fail will be questioned further. Scraped or AI-generated lists will not pass audit. PRICING: $300 fixed for the full 300 companies, released in stages — a small paid trial batch first, then the remainder as each stage passes audit. TO APPLY: start your proposal with the word LEDGER and briefly describe a similar list-building project you've completed.

Root & Still, a UK brand selling hand carved Buddha statues and mindful home decor.

It covers all 20 articles with the angle, structure, word count, keywords, products and internal links for each, plus how we write and a price reference for the products. Please read it before quoting, since it should tell you exactly what the work involves and how much research each piece needs. What I'd like back: 1. Your quote for all 20, and your rate per article if you'd rather price it that way 2. Two or three samples in home, interiors, lifestyle or wellness 3. How many articles a week you could take on, and your earliest start date 4. Anything in the brief you'd push back on or would want changed The schedule matters. Articles 1 to 3 are needed in August and article 5 has to be live by the second week of September, so I'm looking for someone who can start soon. We'd begin with one paid article before committing to the rest, so we can both check the voice lands.
