Calendar Specialist

Job Title: Calendar Specialist Monthly Pay: $3,741 - $5,558 USD per month Summary: A calendar request arrives, gets checked for availability, becomes a confirmed appointment, and closes with clear updates so participants know what happens next. The Calendar Specialist sits within the administrative support team and works under an administrative team lead, focusing on accurate calendars and dependable appointment coordination. The role works with requesters, meeting organizers, internal staff, and external participants to resolve scheduling questions and keep commitments aligned. This fully remote position offers work from home in Virginia, United States. The role requires a 40-hour weekly commitment. Working days and shift times may vary. Job Responsibilities: Review incoming scheduling requests in a shared email queue, identify the appointment purpose, and check whether enough information is available to proceed. Verify participant names, contact information, meeting duration, availability, and preferred format before placing appointments on the appropriate calendar. Compare open times using a scheduling and calendar system such as Microsoft Outlook, checking existing commitments and avoiding overlapping appointments. Offer suitable appointment options to requesters and participants, explain outstanding scheduling constraints, and confirm agreement before sending invitations. Prepare calendar invitations with accurate dates, participant lists, meeting details, and connection information supplied by the organizer, checking each field before sending. Monitor responses, send reminders when confirmations remain outstanding, and follow up with organizers when participant availability prevents a clear decision. Handle changes and cancellations by updating calendar entries, notifying affected participants, and confirming that replacement arrangements reflect the latest instructions. Escalate unresolved conflicts, unclear priorities, or requests outside established scheduling procedures to the administrative team lead with a concise summary of available options. Record request status, changes, outstanding questions, and final confirmation notes so colleagues can understand progress and continue handling requests when needed.
