Administrative Assistant - LATAM - Fully Remote - Weekends OFF

At Elevate Teams, it's not all about us. It's about our clients and our teammates ( we think of ourselves as a team, so we have teammates - not employees ).
We put others first (as we hope you do), so let's start with you:
About You:

Hard-working & Initiative/Proactive
Strong communication
Detail-oriented & Organized
Follow directions & Process oriented
Punctual & Time Management
Tech Savvy – Fast-learning
Critical thinking & Problem-solving

Finally, although we focus more on hiring for soft skills and training our teammates in the required hard skills, you do need to meet our requirements:
C1/C2 English writing and speaking skills.
Native/Fluent Spanish and/or Portuguese writing and speaking skills (Spanish/Portuguese and English are required).
At least 2 years of work experience in back-office and customer service roles.

Although not required, any insurance experience would be advantageous.
BONUS if you have experience in accounting, finance, insurance services, or as an administrative/executive assistant, we want to hear from you!
IT IS IMPORTANT TO KEEP IN MIND all placements involve customer service of some sort (receive or make calls), so we need people who are comfortable doing this type of work. But we can assure you that this is not a high volume of calls - we are not a call center.
When you and your teammates are rock stars, work just doesn't feel like work anymore. So, if the above sounds like you, we welcome you to read on and apply, and we look forward to having you on the team!
About Us:

Elevate Teams is a US recruitment company that helps independent insurance agencies across the US to grow their teams by providing them with our pre-trained teammates (you!). We support their back-office and customer service operations so they can better serve their customers and ultimately grow their agencies.
We provide our teammates (bilingual professionals in Latin America, speaking Spanish and English) with long-term, work-from-home placements with our clients, working as Remote Insurance Assistants.
Our HR department provides paid training to new teammates to prepare them for their new careers in insurance, and our Customer Success Managers support teammates and clients to ensure work placements run smoothly.
About the Training & Job:

If you pass our selection process, you'll be invited to join our next insurance training. A 4-week paid training conducted via Zoom video calls, during which you'll be taught about the insurance industry, how to use agency management systems like AMS 360, Applied Epic, and Hawksoft, and how to carry out industry-specific admin and customer service tasks.
Following successful completion of the training, we'll put your profile forward to our clients to be interviewed by them, and selected for a long-term work placement (note that there may be a waiting period of several days/weeks before you are successfully placed). Once placed you will be helping their admin & customer service areas by carrying out tasks such as:
Input and update customer information in the client's agency management system.
Respond to customer emails, resolving simple queries or elevating complex cases.
Answer incoming phone calls (you'll be given a VoIP account to use from your laptop).
