Job Description

Posted on: April 7, 2026

🧠 Senior Operations Manager (Founder’s Right Hand) LLSOM001Own execution. Own systems. Make the business run without the founder.Job Snapshot

This is not a coordination role.

This is an ownership role.

You will be responsible for turning a fast-moving, founder-led creator business into a structured, data-driven, AI-first operation—where projects move on time, systems are clean, and nothing falls through the cracks.

Your success is measured by one thing:

How little the founder is needed in day-to-day execution.About the Company

We operate at the intersection of travel media, creator education, and digital products.

  • A global content brand reaching millions through high-quality storytelling
  • A 5,000+ member creator education platform
  • Multiple revenue streams across content, partnerships, and products

This is a lean, high-performance business where speed, quality, and execution matter more than hierarchy or process.

The Role Overview

This role exists to bring structure, visibility, and accountability to a fast-moving creative business so that:

  • Projects move forward without constant follow-up
  • Contractors deliver on time and at a high standard
  • Leadership decisions are based on data—not guesswork
  • Systems replace chaos

You will act as the operational backbone of the company, owning execution across media, education, and internal systems.

Responsibilities (Outcome-Based)

You are accountable for:

  • Owning project execution across all active initiatives (content, brand, tech, internal ops)
  • Managing contractors to ensure deadlines are met and standards are maintained
  • Building and maintaining a centralized operating system (Notion) as the company’s source of truth
  • Creating KPI dashboards, reporting systems, and performance tracking across the business
  • Driving AI and automation adoption to reduce manual work and increase speed

This is ownership of outcomes—not task management.

What Success Looks Like

You’re winning in this role when:

  • Projects consistently ship on time without founder follow-up
  • Contractors are accountable, responsive, and aligned
  • The business has clear dashboards and reliable data visibility
  • Notion becomes a fully adopted, centralized system across the team
  • Operational bottlenecks are reduced through AI-driven workflows
  • Founder involvement in daily operations significantly decreasesRequired ExperienceSeniority Level: Senior

This role requires ownership across people, systems, and performance—not execution support.

You should have:

  • Proven experience in operations, project management, or systems ownership in a fast-paced business
  • Strong track record managing contractors and cross-functional workflows
  • Advanced ability in spreadsheets, KPI tracking, and reporting
  • Experience building or maintaining operating systems (Notion or similar)
  • Confidence working autonomously in a founder-led environment
  • Strong interest in AI tools and workflow automation

Bonus: Background in creator businesses, media, online education, or digital productsTools / Environment

You’ll work across:

  • Notion (core operating system)
  • Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Drive)
  • Project management tools
  • Slack / WhatsApp communication
  • AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, automation workflows)
  • Basic financial tracking tools

Tool expertise matters less than your ability to build systems and make them work together.Compensation & Benefits

  • Compensation: $2,000 to $4,000
  • Structure: Remote, flexible
  • Additional perks: To be discussed

Hiring Process

  1. Application review
  2. Interview (ownership, systems thinking, execution)
  3. Practical test task
  4. Offer

We move quickly and value decisiveness.

Who Thrives Here

You’ll thrive if you:

  • Take pride in structure, clarity, and clean systems
  • Are naturally proactive and follow up without being asked
  • Think in outcomes, not tasks
  • Enjoy bringing order to chaos
  • Are adaptable and comfortable in a fast-moving, remote environment
  • Get excited about AI, automation, and efficiency gainsWho Will Struggle

This role is not a fit if you:

  • Need constant direction or supervision
  • Prefer clearly defined, narrow responsibilities
  • Avoid accountability for missed deadlines or outcomes
  • Struggle in fast-moving or ambiguous environments
  • Are uncomfortable managing people or enforcing standards
