Operations Management VA in Chicago — Dedicated, Vetted & Starting at $700/mo
Scaling a business in Chicago requires more than hard work—it requires systems. Chicago's Loop and Fulton Market districts house major law firms, financial services companies, and healthcare networks that need consistent, professional administrative support. A dedicated operations VA from The Human Capital designs processes, documents SOPs, manages projects in Asana, automates workflows with Zapier, and keeps your team coordinated—giving you the operational leverage to grow without the growing pains.
What Your VA Handles
Your Operations Management VA in Chicago: Full Scope
Your operations management va in Chicago is responsible for the day-to-day execution that keeps your business running. At The Human Capital, we match you with a single dedicated VA—not a rotating team, not a shared resource—who learns your business, your systems, and your preferences deeply. They become a true extension of your team.
Here is what your operations management va handles on a typical week: Process documentation and SOP creation, Project management and coordination in Asana or Monday.com, Team task assignment and progress tracking, Workflow automation setup (Zapier, Make), and more. They are trained in the tools your business uses and aligned to your time zone, so real-time collaboration is always possible. Every task is tracked in Asana, with weekly progress reports so you have complete visibility.
Scaling a business requires systems, not just more hours. Our operations VAs help you design processes, document SOPs, manage projects in Asana, automate workflows with Zapier, and build reporting dashboards that give you real-time visibility. They coordinate across your team so nothing falls through the cracks as you grow. This matters in Chicago because With local executive assistant salaries averaging $58,000, THC's dedicated VA model saves Chicago businesses $40,000+ annually without sacrificing quality.
The Human Capital Standard is what separates us from a freelancer platform or a generic VA agency. We put every candidate through a 5-step vetting process that accepts only the top 3% of applicants. Background verification is conducted through Checkr. NDA agreements are signed before your first call. And every Full-Time engagement includes a dedicated Human Success Manager who monitors your VA's performance through KPI reviews and regular QA checks.
The Chicago market for operations management va talent is competitive.
