Title: CPT-11567 EmPower+ Enrollment Caller Virtual Assistant

Independent Contractor – CPT-11567 EmPower+ Enrollment Caller Virtual Assistant/Business Support VA/Senior-Advanced Level (Remote).

Overview

20four7VA is seeking offshore independent contractors to deliver remote services to clients worldwide, with a primary focus on developed markets such as the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia.

A home energy services company is seeking an experienced EmPower+ Enrollment Caller Virtual Assistant to support a homeowner outreach and enrollment campaign.
The primary purpose of this role is to help eligible homeowners apply for and obtain approval for the EmPower+ program. The VA will be the dedicated person handling phone-based outreach and enrollment support, while the client's existing team will take over once homeowners have been approved.
The VA will make outbound calls to homeowner lists provided by the client, including past customers, program referrals, and individuals who respond to mail campaigns. The VA will also answer inbound calls generated from the campaign, explain the program, confirm basic eligibility, guide qualified homeowners through the application and documentation requirements, and conduct persistent follow-up until the application is submitted and approved.
This is a service- and enrollment-focused role rather than a traditional hard-sales position. The ideal candidate should be persuasive without being pushy, patient when speaking with older homeowners and families on fixed incomes, and highly organized when managing applications and follow-ups.
The client is establishing a New York compliance package that will include the approved script, calling hours, Do-Not-Call procedures, required disclosures, and call-recording requirements. The VA will be expected to follow these procedures consistently from day one.

The objective of each engagement is to assist the client in improving business efficiency, enhancing service delivery, or supporting operational functions through high-quality, task-specific services rendered by a qualified contractor.
