Why Virtual Team

Five reasons clients stay past the first hire

Dedicated

One resource, only yours

No shared queue, no rotating cast. Your dedicated resource works exclusively for you and stays.

Leadership

25 years of Australian market experience

Founder Rohit Sahdev's 25 years in the Australian market, including senior leadership at Telstra, shape how every dedicated team is managed.

Transparent

You always know what your team is doing

Every dedicated resource works behind Screenshot Monitor — auditable activity and reporting, not a black box.

Flexible

No more "That's not my job."

Your dedicated outsourced resource adapts to what your business needs, takes ownership and grows their career by stepping up to new challenges.

Built for now

Capacity without the hiring squeeze

Skilled and reliable operational talent is harder to hire locally right now. A dedicated resource adds capacity without adding to that pressure.

The outcome this role is built for

Stronger client retention and clearer reporting — because someone owns the relationship holistically, coordinating specialists behind the scenes.

Role scope

What this role owns day to day

Core responsibilities

  • Own day-to-day client or stakeholder relationship management
  • Coordinate work across specialist teams for each account
  • Prepare account performance reporting
  • Track deliverables and deadlines across the account

Flexibility

Works your hours. Picks up the work.

Australian business hours

Aligned to your primary time zone and holiday calendar for day-to-day coverage.

9am–5pm style coverage, matched to your roster

Extended coverage

Stretch shift start/end times around campaign launches and reporting deadlines.

Early-start or late-finish shifts, by agreement

Peak-demand scaling

Additional dedicated resources during launch periods and peak campaign season.

Scale up seats for peak periods, scale back down after

What "no that's not my job" looks like in practice: an account issue crosses multiple specialist teams — it still gets owned and resolved holistically instead of being handled piecemeal.

What stays with your authorised staff

Contract negotiation and pricing decisions remain with authorised staff. This role manages the relationship — it doesn't set terms.

Not exclusive to marketing agencies

The same skillset, wherever content and campaigns need executing

Strip away the agency-specific platforms and this role is a recognisable shape: execute against a brief, optimise against data, and report on results.

Common today

Doing this in-house with stretched staff, or paying a third party

  • Account coordination competes with delivery work
  • Reporting is inconsistent between accounts
  • Escalations take longer to resolve
The alternative

A dedicated account manager, outsourced to us

  • One resource whose only job is your key accounts
  • Reports to your own leadership, not a third party
  • Same Screenshot Monitor transparency, direct to you
