Operations & Admin Manager

Part-time · 10 hrs/week (with room to grow) · Contractor · Remote About us We are an OBM and systems consultancy helping service-based business owners fix their backend chaos, build scalable systems, and reclaim their time. We're a small, expert remote team and we move fast. We need someone who can keep up. The role We're looking for an Operations & Admin Manager to be the backbone of our internal operations. You'll own our project management system, keep our workflows tight, support our marketing execution, and eventually help us deliver operational audits for our clients, with full training from us. This is not a task-ticker role. We need someone who sees what needs to happen before being told, communicates without being chased, and genuinely loves building order out of chaos. This role starts at 10 hours per week. As the business grows, so does this role. The right person needs to be open to increasing their hours over time. This is a long-term position with room to grow, not a short-term gap fill. If you're looking for something casual and capped, this isn't it.

No chasing, no silence. Respond to Slack messages within a few hours during agreed working hours/ same day at minimum If you're stuck, behind, or something's not working, flag it before it becomes a problem, not after Come to the weekly meeting prepared with a status update on all active projects, no prompting required If you need to step away, reduce hours, or the role isn't working for you, say so early. A hard conversation is always better than going quiet Radio silence is not acceptable. If we haven't heard from you, we'll follow up once, and that's a red flag
