Agency context

Built for agency work, not generic remote hiring.

Marketing agency operations breaks when reporting, task flow, handoffs, and client communication all depend on founder memory. The seat needs workflow judgment during the US working day.

Working-call vetting
  • A live working-call exercise around a workflow audit with scattered task boards, repeated reporting cleanup, and unclear handoffs between account and delivery.
  • Written communication screen for client-ready clarity, facts, owners, and next actions.
  • Agency-context check across retainers, reporting rhythm, delivery handoffs, and scope pressure.
Optional AI bootcamp
  • Workflow documentation from task movement, meeting notes, and recurring handoffs.
  • Reporting-prep checklists that reduce manual cleanup before client calls.
  • Automation briefs for recurring updates, reminders, and account-risk summaries.

Want the hire trained to run AI in the seat? We offer that as a separate, optional bootcamp — priced on its own, never bundled into the placement fee.

Fit check

We say no more often than yes.

// For
  • Your agency has delivery process, reporting, and handoff problems that repeat every week.
  • The founder still translates too much internal movement into client-ready operating rhythm.
  • You need operations ownership with agency context, not generic admin cleanup.
// Not for
  • You only need back-office data entry.
  • The role has no access to client or delivery context.
  • You are not ready to change how work moves through the team.
