Business Support VA​/Executive Assistant

Position: Business Support VA/ Executive Assistant
About Caya

Caya exists to unlock what capable people and growing businesses can do together.

We help growing, founder-led businesses build highly capable remote teams by connecting them with skilled professionals who bring clarity, ownership, and real collaboration to the work. Our name comes from the Filipino word "kaya," which means capable, possible, or doable - the heart of our message:
Now you can.

We go beyond the traditional "VA" label because we believe remote talent can be operators, problem-solvers, communicators, and trusted co-workers who help businesses grow.

Caya is committed to creating meaningful global career opportunities for Filipino and global talent. Our culture is built on reliability, clear and direct communication, care, and growth. We value people who take initiative, communicate proactively, stay organized, follow through, and care about doing excellent work.

We are building a team of people who do not just complete tasks, but create trust, momentum, and real value. If that is how you work, you'd love to meet you.
