You're that person. But before anything else: this isn't a traditional Team Lead role, and if you're coming from a BPO background, it's worth resetting that mental model now. You won't just be managing a roster of agents — you'll own full partnerships: the client relationship AND the people delivering on it, end to end. Think less "supervisor," more account manager and coach rolled into one — closer to what a Customer Success Manager and a people leader do combined, minus the org-chart hierarchy (your EAs aren't direct reports; they're partners you lead through trust, not authority). As an EA Team Coach & Client Partner (internally Account Lead), you're the bridge between our clients and their EA teams, making sure both sides thrive. When your assistants excel, clients stay. When clients stay, Magic grows. This role exists because great EAs don't just need a manager — they need a coach who leads from the front, solves problems before they escalate, and builds the kind of team environment where people do their best work. That ownership is the whole appeal, and it's also the whole ask: you're accountable for outcomes you can't always control, in conversations that are rarely scripted. If that sounds energizing rather than exhausting, keep reading. **Our Hiring Process** - Application + Pre-Qualifying Questions - Interview with Talent Team (45 min) - 24-Hour Reflection Period — we ask you to seriously consider if this is the right time and opportunity for you - Final Interview with Operations Team - Background Check + Vetting - Job Offer - 2-Week Training Program **What Winning Looks Like** - You manage 15–20 EAs and your clients consistently report strong satisfaction scores with low escalations - You catch performance issues before clients raise them — you already saw it coming and acted - Your team members grow because you create development plans and actually follow through - You handle difficult conversations with assistants and clients professionally and without delay - You adapt to feedback immediately and don't repeat the same mistakes - You keep clean, updated records on performance, client feedback, and team metrics at all times - You don't wait for direction — you identify the problem, own it, and fix it **Who This Role Is NOT For** - You're currently freelancing as a VA/EA and plan to keep those clients — exclusivity is non-negotiable - You mention 0–2 tools when asked about your tech stack — this role runs on 6+ platforms daily - You need perfect instructions before you take action - You've never completed anything with strict attendance or performance requirements - You have major life events — weddings, moves, travel — during the 2-week training period - You see feedback as personal criticism rather than coaching - You need more than 4 weeks to transition your current commitments - You have less than 2 years of hands-on VA or EA experience with international clients - You default to "give me a directive and I'll enforce it" — this role runs on influence, not command. (Quick gut-check: if an EA is technically off-task but has a reasonable explanation, is your instinct to write them up, or to ask what's going on first?) - You can't commit to Monday–Friday availability — training runs 10 PM–7 AM PHT, and your eventual production shift will be assigned based on business needs (6 PM–3 AM, 12 AM–9 AM, or 4 AM–1 PM PHT)
