First Operations Hire
You need your first ops hire
You're a founder doing everything yourself. You know the next hire is an EA, project manager, or ops coordinator, you just don't have time to run a hiring process from scratch.
Let's talk
Book a discovery call.
We're selective about who we work with. If you think there's a fit, grab 30 minutes and let's have a real conversation about the role.
Grab a time →What we cover
Three reasons founders book this call.
Scaling the Team
You're scaling an expert-led business
Your agency, consultancy, or service business is past the founder bottleneck and you need senior, AI-fluent operators to keep the engine running without burning cash on US salaries.
Replace or Upgrade
You want to replace or upgrade a role
You've tried VAs, offshore agencies, or junior US hires and ended up doing the work yourself. You want someone senior who can actually own the role and stick around.
Good fit
This call is for you if…
- ✓You run an agency, consultancy, SaaS, or expert-led service business in the US
- ✓You're hiring an EA, project manager, customer success manager, or operations manager
- ✓You want a senior, AI-fluent operator at roughly half the cost of a US hire
- ✓You're ready to make a decision in the next 30 to 60 days, not someday
Not the right fit
This call is not for you if…
- ×You're looking for the cheapest possible $5/hour virtual assistant
- ×You need a developer, designer, or specialist outside the operations function
- ×You want a staffing agency that ships you 50 résumés and disappears
- ×You're not actually ready to hire and just want to benchmark salaries

You walk us through the role
