Roles We Hire
We specialize in non-technical roles that sit at the core of eCommerce brands and marketing agencies. Marketing, operations, creative, client success, and leadership. Here's what we hire for.

Marketing & Growth
8 rolesPaid Media Buyer
If you're running paid ads and not seeing consistent returns, it's usually not the product. It's the person managing the account. A strong media buyer doesn't just "run ads"; they analyze data daily, kill underperformers fast, and scale winners without blowing through budget.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You're too close to the business to objectively manage ad performance. A dedicated buyer brings fresh eyes, platform expertise, and the bandwidth to test constantly.
Use Cases
Meta and Google campaign management
TikTok ads and emerging platforms
Scaling from $10k to $100k+ monthly spend
Creative testing frameworks
Audience segmentation and targeting
Skills & Tools
Email Marketer / Klaviyo Account Manager
Email is the highest-ROI channel most brands underutilize. If your flows are set-and-forget or your campaigns go out "when you remember," you're leaving money on the table. A dedicated email marketer turns your list into a consistent revenue engine.
Why Founders Hire This Role
Email requires consistency and technical know-how. Most founders deprioritize it because it feels less urgent than ads, but it compounds over time.
Use Cases
Klaviyo flow builds (welcome, abandoned cart, winback)
Campaign calendar management
List segmentation and hygiene
Deliverability optimization
A/B testing subject lines and send times
Skills & Tools
Copywriter
Good copy is the difference between a landing page that converts at 1% and one that converts at 4%. If you're writing your own ads, emails, and landing pages, you're probably too close to the product to write objectively. A copywriter brings clarity, structure, and persuasion.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You know your product inside out, which makes it hard to explain simply. Copywriters translate features into benefits and benefits into action.
Use Cases
Ad copy (static and video scripts)
Email sequences and campaigns
Landing pages and website copy
Product descriptions
Sales decks and presentations
Skills & Tools
SEO Specialist
SEO is the long game. It takes months to see results, but when it works, you get traffic without paying for every click. An SEO specialist builds the foundation: technical fixes, keyword strategy, content optimization, and link building.
Why Founders Hire This Role
SEO is slow, technical, and easy to deprioritize. But compounding organic traffic is one of the best investments you can make.
Use Cases
Technical SEO audits and fixes
Keyword research and mapping
On-page optimization
Content briefs and strategy
Link building outreach
Skills & Tools
Social Media Manager
Social media is where your brand lives between purchases. It builds trust, keeps you top of mind, and drives organic discovery. A social media manager keeps your channels active, consistent, and on-brand without you touching it.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You know you should post more. You never do. A dedicated SMM ensures your brand shows up consistently across platforms.
Use Cases
Content calendar creation
Post scheduling and publishing
Community management and replies
Trend monitoring
Analytics and reporting
Skills & Tools
Affiliate Marketing Strategist
Affiliates are a sales team you only pay when they deliver. But managing an affiliate program takes dedicated attention: recruiting partners, setting up tracking, negotiating commissions, and keeping top performers engaged. Without someone owning it, the channel stalls.
Why Founders Hire This Role
Affiliate is high-leverage but high-maintenance. You need someone who can build relationships and optimize the program without your involvement.
Use Cases
Affiliate program setup and management
Partner recruitment and outreach
Commission structure optimization
Tracking and attribution
Affiliate content and asset creation
Skills & Tools
Content Marketing Manager
Content marketing is how you become the obvious choice. Blog posts, guides, case studies, and thought leadership that position you as the expert. A content marketing manager builds the strategy and executes it consistently.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You have expertise worth sharing. You don't have time to package it. A content manager turns your knowledge into assets that attract and convert.
Use Cases
Content strategy and calendar
Blog post creation and editing
Case studies and whitepapers
Lead magnets and guides
Repurposing across channels
Skills & Tools
CRO Specialist
You're spending money to drive traffic. If your site converts at 2% instead of 3%, you're effectively throwing away a third of your ad budget. A CRO specialist's job is to find the leaks and fix them, one test at a time.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You're too busy acquiring traffic to optimize what happens after the click. CRO is tedious, data-heavy work that compounds over time.
Use Cases
Landing page audits
A/B test design and analysis
Heatmap and session recording analysis
Checkout flow optimization
Pricing page testing
Skills & Tools

Creative
8 rolesGraphic Designer (Performance / Email)
Creative fatigue kills ad accounts. If you're recycling the same three images across campaigns, your CPMs will climb and your CTR will drop. A performance designer creates high-volume, scroll-stopping visuals built for testing.
Why Founders Hire This Role
Design is time-consuming and requires a specific skill set. Most founders either DIY with Canva (which plateaus fast) or bottleneck their creative pipeline.
Use Cases
Static ad designs
Email templates
Social media graphics
Landing page visuals
Carousel ads and branded content
Skills & Tools
Video Editor / Motion Designer
Video outperforms static on almost every platform. But editing is slow, and good motion design requires both technical skill and creative instinct. A dedicated editor turns raw footage into polished, platform-native content.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You have footage sitting in folders. You know video performs better. But editing takes hours you don't have.
Use Cases
UGC ad edits
TikTok/Reels content
Product videos and testimonials
Motion graphics for ads
Long-form to short-form repurposing
Skills & Tools
Creative Strategist
A creative strategist sits between the data and the design. They look at what's working, why it's working, and how to make more of it. They brief the designers, review the outputs, and connect creative decisions to performance outcomes.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You need someone who can think about creative as a system, not just one-off assets. This role turns "make more ads" into "here's exactly what to test next and why."
Use Cases
Creative analysis and reporting
Ad concept development
Competitor creative audits
Briefing designers and editors
Building creative testing roadmaps
Skills & Tools
Content Writer / Blog Writer
Copywriters sell. Content writers educate. A content writer creates the blog posts, guides, and articles that build trust, improve SEO, and position you as an authority. Different skill set, different outcome.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You need content that ranks and resonates. Writing long-form content is time-intensive and requires research depth most founders can't spare.
Use Cases
Blog posts and how-to guides
Industry articles
Case studies and whitepapers
Newsletter content
SEO-driven content
Skills & Tools
UGC Creator / Content Creator
UGC converts because it feels real. A UGC creator makes content that looks like it came from a customer, not a brand. They're on camera, know the trends, and can produce high-volume content quickly.
Why Founders Hire This Role
Polished brand content underperforms raw, authentic content. You need someone who can create native content at scale.
Use Cases
Product demos and reviews
Testimonial-style videos
Unboxings and first impressions
TikTok/Reels trends
Ad creative for paid
Skills & Tools
Brand Designer
Performance designers make ads. Brand designers make you look like a real company. They build the visual identity: logo refinements, color systems, typography, templates, and guidelines that keep everything cohesive.
Why Founders Hire This Role
Your brand looks inconsistent. Every asset feels different. A brand designer creates the system that makes everything feel intentional.
Use Cases
Brand guidelines creation
Logo refinement
Visual identity systems
Presentation templates
Packaging design
Skills & Tools
Podcast Editor / Audio Editor
Podcasts build trust at scale. But raw recordings need editing: cleaning up audio, cutting filler, adding intros/outros, and leveling sound. A podcast editor turns conversations into polished episodes ready for publishing.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You record the content. You don't have time to edit it. A dedicated editor keeps your publishing schedule consistent.
Use Cases
Episode editing and cleanup
Intro/outro production
Show notes creation
Audiogram clips for social
Publishing to platforms
Skills & Tools
Presentation Designer
Your deck is often the first impression. A presentation designer turns text-heavy slides into visual stories that actually hold attention. They make your ideas look as good as they sound.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You spend hours on decks that still look amateur. A presentation designer creates polished, professional slides that close deals.
Use Cases
Investor pitch decks
Sales presentations
Client proposals
Internal reports
Webinar slides
Skills & Tools

Client Services &
Sales
8 rolesClient Success Manager
Acquiring a client is expensive. Keeping them is where the margin lives. A Client Success Manager owns the relationship post-sale: checking in, resolving issues, and making sure clients are getting value. Happy clients renew. Unhappy ones churn quietly.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You can't personally manage every client relationship as you scale. CSMs free you from day-to-day client communication while keeping retention high.
Use Cases
Onboarding calls
Regular check-ins and QBRs
Churn prevention
Upsell identification
Internal advocacy for client needs
Skills & Tools
Account Manager
An Account Manager is the client's main point of contact. They translate client requests into internal action, keep projects on track, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks. They're the buffer between your team and your client's inbox.
Why Founders Hire This Role
Client communication is constant. Without a dedicated AM, you're either over-involved or under-responsive. Neither scales.
Use Cases
Client meetings and status updates
Scope management
Timeline coordination
Feedback loops
Contract renewals
Skills & Tools
Sales Development Representative (SDR)
SDRs fill your calendar with qualified conversations. They do the outreach, handle the back-and-forth, and qualify leads before they ever reach your sales team. If your founders are still doing cold outreach, you're burning expensive hours on low-leverage work.
Why Founders Hire This Role
Outbound is a volume game. You need someone dedicated to prospecting so your closers can focus on closing.
Use Cases
Cold email and LinkedIn outreach
Lead list building
CRM management
Meeting scheduling
Follow-up sequences
Skills & Tools
Account Executive / Closer
Account Executives close deals. They take qualified leads from SDRs and turn them into customers. They run demos, handle objections, negotiate terms, and get signatures. This is the role that directly drives revenue.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You've been the only closer. That doesn't scale. An AE lets you step back from sales calls and focus on the business.
Use Cases
Discovery and demo calls
Proposal creation
Contract negotiation
Pipeline management
Handoff to success teams
Skills & Tools
Customer Support Representative
Support tickets don't stop. If you're handling them yourself or letting them pile up, you're either burning out or losing customers. A dedicated support rep keeps response times low and satisfaction high.
Why Founders Hire This Role
Every hour you spend on support is an hour not spent on growth. Support is critical, but it doesn't need to be you.
Use Cases
Email and chat support
Ticket triage
FAQ updates
Refund and return handling
Escalation management
Skills & Tools
Appointment Setter
Appointment setters are more junior than SDRs but equally valuable for volume. They focus on one thing: getting meetings on the calendar. Less qualification, more execution. Perfect for high-volume outreach where you need bodies in seats.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You need more meetings, and you need them fast. Setters are cost-effective and can be trained quickly on a simple script.
Use Cases
Cold calling
Follow-up calls
Appointment scheduling
Basic lead qualification
CRM updates
Skills & Tools
Data Analyst
Data is useless if no one's reading it. A data analyst turns raw numbers into insights you can act on. They build dashboards, spot trends, and answer the questions you didn't know to ask.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You're drowning in data but starving for insights. An analyst bridges the gap between information and action.
Use Cases
Dashboard creation
Performance reporting
Cohort and customer analysis
Forecasting
Ad hoc analysis
Skills & Tools
Community Manager
Communities create stickiness. A community manager builds and nurtures the spaces where your customers connect, whether that's a Slack group, Discord server, or Facebook community. They keep engagement high and members happy.
Why Founders Hire This Role
Community is high-touch. You can't scale personal engagement without someone dedicated to it.
Use Cases
Community moderation
Engagement initiatives
Member onboarding
Event coordination
Content creation for community
Skills & Tools

Operations &
Execution
8 rolesOperations Manager
An Ops Manager keeps the machine running. They identify inefficiencies, build repeatable processes, and make sure your team isn't drowning in busywork. If you're constantly firefighting, it's an ops problem.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You're too deep in execution to see the system from above. An ops manager brings structure so you can focus on strategy.
Use Cases
SOP creation
Workflow automation
Tool stack management
Cross-functional coordination
Reporting dashboards
Skills & Tools
Project Manager
Projects slip when no one owns the timeline. A PM makes sure deliverables move from "in progress" to "done" without chasing. They manage dependencies, flag blockers, and hold people accountable.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You know what needs to get done. You don't have time to make sure it actually does.
Use Cases
Campaign launches
Product rollouts
Cross-team initiatives
Client project delivery
Internal improvements
Skills & Tools
Virtual Assistant
The small stuff adds up. Research tasks, data entry, scheduling, and ad-hoc requests. A VA handles the admin load so you can focus on decisions that move the needle.
Why Founders Hire This Role
Every hour spent on admin is an hour not spent on growth. VAs give you leverage without adding management overhead.
Use Cases
Research tasks
Data entry
Travel coordination
Basic admin
CRM updates
Skills & Tools
Executive Assistant
An EA is a VA with more responsibility. They manage your calendar, gatekeep your inbox, prepare you for meetings, and handle sensitive tasks. They're an extension of you, not just a task-doer.
Why Founders Hire This Role
Your time is your most valuable asset. An EA protects it, organizes it, and makes sure you're always prepared.
Use Cases
Calendar and meeting management
Email triage and drafting
Travel booking
Meeting prep
Confidential projects
Skills & Tools
People Operations Associate
As your team grows, people ops becomes a full-time job. Onboarding, offboarding, policy documentation, performance check-ins. A People Ops Associate keeps your team supported without you becoming the HR department.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You can't scale people management on top of everything else. This role ensures your team feels supported and your compliance stays tight.
Use Cases
New hire onboarding
HR documentation
Benefits coordination
Performance review scheduling
Culture initiatives
Skills & Tools
Bookkeeper / Accounting Assistant
Messy books create messy decisions. A bookkeeper keeps your finances organized: categorizing expenses, reconciling accounts, managing invoices, and preparing for tax time. Clean books mean clear visibility.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You're making financial decisions without accurate numbers. A bookkeeper gives you the clarity to make informed calls.
Use Cases
Transaction categorization
Bank reconciliation
Invoice management
Expense tracking
Month-end close support
Skills & Tools
Inventory Analyst
Stockouts lose sales. Overstock ties up cash. An inventory analyst keeps your inventory balanced: forecasting demand, tracking levels, and coordinating with suppliers to keep things moving smoothly.
Why Founders Hire This Role
Inventory is a cash flow lever most founders don't optimize. An analyst turns guesswork into data-driven decisions.
Use Cases
Inventory tracking
Demand forecasting
Reorder point management
Supplier coordination
Dead stock analysis
Skills & Tools
Tech VA / Systems Admin
Your tools should talk to each other. A tech VA sets up integrations, builds automations, and keeps your tech stack running smoothly. They're the person who makes Zapier, Make, and Notion actually work for you.
Why Founders Hire This Role
You have tools. They're not connected. A tech VA turns a disconnected stack into a system that saves hours.
Use Cases
Zapier and Make automations
Tool integrations
CRM setup and maintenance
Notion/Airtable builds
Process automation
Skills & Tools

Leadership & Niche
8 rolesChief Operating Officer (COO)
A COO runs the business so the founder can grow it. They own execution, manage the team, and translate strategy into daily operations. This is a hire for founders who are ready to step out of the day-to-day.

Use Cases
Team leadership
Operational planning
P&L oversight
Process optimization
Cross-functional management
Skills & Tools
Director of Finance
Money is the scoreboard. A Director of Finance makes sure you understand what's coming in, what's going out, and what's left. They build forecasts, manage budgets, and keep your finances clean.

Use Cases
Monthly reporting
Cash flow forecasting
Budget management
Financial modeling
Investor reporting

A Head of Marketing owns the entire marketing function. They set strategy, manage the team, allocate budget, and are accountable for results. This is a hire for companies ready to build a real marketing org.
