16 days ago13 proposalsRemoteOutreach VA: Research & Build Relationships for Housing Provider
About us SoCal Community Homes is a supportive housing provider in Riverside County, California. We operate furnished shared homes for veterans, seniors, adults on SSI or SSDI, and people reentering the community after incarceration. We are small, we are growing, and we treat the people who work with us as part of the team. About the role We are building a network of referral partners: case managers, social workers, housing navigators, and program supervisors at county agencies, veteran organizations, shelters, reentry programs, and nonprofits across Riverside County. These are the professionals who place clients into housing. When they know us, they call us. You will do both halves of this work. First you find these people. Then you reach out, introduce us, and build enough trust that they agree to a 30 minute meeting. This is not sales. There is no product, no price, no close. Their hardest problem is finding a safe, available bed for a client who is ready to move. We have beds. That is the whole conversation, and most of them will be glad you called. Research: Build a verified contact list of 200 referral partners across Riverside County. For each one: full name, job title, organization, direct email, direct phone, city, and organization type. Named individuals only. General info inboxes and switchboard numbers do not count. Spread contacts across organizations rather than concentrating on any single agency. A list of cities will be provided Outreach: Send personalized introduction emails using our templates. Make friendly follow up calls to confirm you have the right person and invite them to a meeting. Book confirmed meetings on our calendar and send reminders. Log every call, email, and outcome in a shared tracker. Follow up on a set schedule so nothing goes cold. Keep relationships warm with periodic check ins on bed availability. Continue adding new contacts to the list as you discover them. What success looks like In your first XX days: a clean verified contact list, consistent weekly outreach across it, a steady flow of booked meetings, and a handful of agencies who recognize our name and reply when you write. We will set weekly targets together after training. What we need Excellent spoken English with a clear, warm, unscripted phone presence. You will speak with government employees and licensed social workers, so patience and clarity matter far more than speed. Error free written English that does not read like a mass template. Strong online research skills. You should be comfortable digging through organization websites, staff directories, LinkedIn, and public county listings to find a named person and a direct line rather than settling for a general contact form. At least one year in appointment setting, B2B outreach, lead research, client relations, intake, or similar work. Experience with US organizations is strongly preferred. Headset, computer, quiet workspace, reliable internet, comfort with Google Sheets, Gmail, and Calendar. Willingness to sign a confidentiality agreement. You will handle professional contact information only, never resident information. Terms This is a long term role and we expect hours to grow as the network grows. Keeping other clients is fine as long as your calling blocks are protected. How to apply Subject line: Outreach VA + [your city] + VILLAGE Answer in your own words: Describe a time you contacted an organization and had to find the right person to speak with. What did you actually say? And why would a social worker want to hear from a housing provider? Attach a 30 to 60 second voice recording introducing yourself and explaining why a case manager should consider our housing for a client. A phone recording is fine. We want to hear how you sound and how you think.

16 days ago69 proposalsRemoteLuxury Logistics, Authentication & Insurance Project Manager
VANDALUX is a pre-launch, pre-incorporation digital marketplace being developed for pre-owned and high-value luxury goods, including watches, jewellery, handbags, fine art and collectibles. I am looking for an experienced, hands-on Operations Project Manager / Consultant to take ownership of a specific provider-sourcing and operational workstream in preparation for a future Commercial Launch. The project covers three connected areas: • Independent authentication providers for high-value luxury goods • High-value logistics across Europe • Transit insurance / specialist insurance brokerage for valuable shipments This is not a research-only or advisory assignment. The selected professional should be able to actively manage the workstream on behalf of VANDALUX, including: • assessing our proposed operational requirements and transaction routes; • researching and identifying suitable providers in Europe and internationally; • contacting providers directly by email and telephone; • handling English-language provider calls and follow-ups; • obtaining indicative commercial and operational terms; • comparing providers, coverage, value limits, geographic availability, exclusions, costs and operational requirements; • identifying gaps or dependencies between authentication, transport and insurance; • recommending one or more practical, launch-ready solutions. A representative future transaction route may be: Seller → Independent Authenticator → Buyer The objective is to establish how such a route can work operationally, including who transports the item, how each stage can be insured, applicable value/category/geographic limits, and what provider arrangements would be required. VANDALUX is currently in pre-launch development. No commercial transactions are currently being executed. Provider activation and final implementation would take place later, if and when the marketplace proceeds to Commercial Launch, potentially in several months. The immediate assignment is therefore focused on feasibility, provider sourcing and engagement, collection of real commercial and operational information, and development of a launch-ready framework. Relevant experience may include operations/project management, vendor or provider sourcing, high-value logistics, insurance/broker engagement, luxury/resale marketplaces, authentication services, procurement or cross-border operations. Please explain in your proposal: Your relevant experience with similar provider-sourcing or operational projects. Whether you can personally handle provider outreach, follow-ups and English-language calls. Any relevant experience in logistics, insurance and/or authentication. How you would approach this assignment. Your proposed scope, deliverables, timeline and fixed project fee. I am looking for someone who can take hands-on ownership of this workstream and return with implementable options, rather than providing a general strategy report only.
