We need a strong operational partner who can help manage the day-to-day follow-through, structure, and routine tasks that keep the companies running smoothly. I need someone who is highly organized, reliable, detail-oriented, and who enjoys routine, consistency, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks. This role is long-term and important — we want someone who will grow with us and gradually take full ownership of operations. If you love structure, systems, follow-through, and being the person who “keeps everything together,” this is the perfect role for you. ⸻ Responsibilities You will act as my operational right hand.
