I work with founders of established service businesses who are good at sales, but have reached the point where growth is creating operational problems. Too much depends on you. Delivery is inconsistent. The team is busy, but accountability is unclear. Hiring happens too late. Margins start slipping. You know the business can grow, but the way it currently runs wonโ€™t get you there. Iโ€™ve been on the operating side of those problems for years: ๐Ÿ… $600K to $2.4M revenue growth ๐Ÿ… $300K to $800K after fixing fulfillment ๐Ÿ… $4M project delivered on time & on budget ๐Ÿ… 10% COGS reduction through team redesign & automation ๐Ÿ… 60+ staff hired & onboarded ๐Ÿ… 3 to 6 locations in 12 months ๐Ÿ… $10M P&L accountability Today, I use that experience as a Business Coach & Advisor to help founders make better decisions, fix the real bottlenecks and build businesses that donโ€™t need them involved in everything. ๐Ÿญ. ๐—•๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ ๐—–๐—ผ๐—ฎ๐—ฐ๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด & ๐—”๐—ฑ๐˜ƒ๐—ถ๐˜€๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐˜† ๐Ÿ”น Business Coaching ๐Ÿ”น Business Consulting ๐Ÿ”น Management Consulting ๐Ÿ”น Business Strategy ๐Ÿ”น Strategic Planning ๐Ÿ”น Executive Coaching ๐Ÿฎ. ๐—•๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ ๐—ข๐—ฝ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ผ๐—ป๐˜€ & ๐—ฆ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐Ÿ”น Business Operations ๐Ÿ”น Operations Management ๐Ÿ”น Process Improvement ๐Ÿ”น Workflow Optimization ๐Ÿ”น Organizational Design ๐Ÿ”น Staff Recruitment & Management ๐Ÿ”น Change Management ๐Ÿฏ. ๐—•๐˜‚๐˜€๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ฒ๐˜€๐˜€ ๐—ฆ๐˜๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ๐—ด๐˜† & ๐—ฃ๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ฐ๐—ฒ ๐Ÿ”น Business Strategy ๐Ÿ”น Business Analysis ๐Ÿ”น Business Planning & Strategy ๐Ÿ”น KPI Development ๐Ÿ”น Performance Management ๐Ÿ”น Project Management ๐Ÿ”น Management Consulting The difference is simple: Iโ€™m not a career Business Coach who has only advised businesses. Iโ€™ve actually operated them. I know what it looks like when sales outrun delivery, when the founder becomes the bottleneck, when the wrong hire creates six months of problems, and when more revenue somehow creates less profit. So my Business Coaching isnโ€™t theoretical. We look at what is happening, find what is actually holding the business back, decide what needs to change and get it moving. If you run a service business and growth is starting to create more chaos than freedom, send me a message. ๐™๐™š๐™ก๐™ก ๐™ข๐™š ๐™ฌ๐™๐™–๐™ฉโ€™๐™จ ๐™ฃ๐™ค๐™ฉ ๐™ฌ๐™ค๐™ง๐™ ๐™ž๐™ฃ๐™œ. ๐™„โ€™๐™ก๐™ก ๐™ฉ๐™š๐™ก๐™ก ๐™ฎ๐™ค๐™ช ๐™ฌ๐™๐™–๐™ฉ ๐™„โ€™๐™™ ๐™›๐™ž๐™ญ ๐™›๐™ž๐™ง๐™จ๐™ฉ.

Amazon PPC and Seller Central Specialist | Ex Thrasio | Top Rated Plus

Sydney, Australia
$25 per hour
20 jobs
$50K+ total earnings

I spent two years at Thrasio, 2021 to 2023, managing a portfolio of fifteen Amazon brands. That is where I learned how an account really runs. Not just ads, but inventory, listings, cases, and the daily work that keeps things healthy. Since then I have run Seller Central and PPC for brands at every stage, from a first launch to over a million a month. What I do: PPC management Campaign builds, search term cleanup, bid and budget control, and scaling spend without killing profit. Seller Central operations FBA shipments, inventory forecasting, stranded and suppressed listings, Buy Box, Seller Support cases, and account health. Listings and launches Keyword research, copy, A plus content, variations, and ranking a new product from zero. Reporting Weekly numbers you can actually read. Ad spend, ACOS, TACOS, sessions, conversion rate, and stock cover. Some of what I have done: Sky and Sol, skincare, zero to 1.5M a month, running around 180K a month in ad spend at a 3 to 5 ROAS. Fly Hugz, 600K to 700K a month, ROAS 4 to 5.5. Ericka J, 300K to 350K a month, ROAS 4 to 6. Hush Glow, 400K a month. Launches and ranking across beauty, skincare, wellness, and consumer goods, including high ticket and FDA cleared products. Already selling on Shopify but not on Amazon? That is usually the biggest gap I see. Same product, same creative, and a channel that is already searching for you. Launching there is one of my favourite parts of this work. I use AI in the daily work too. Mostly to read big reports faster, catch wasted spend earlier, and build simple dashboards so problems show up before they cost money. I am comfortable owning the account, not just running the ads. Message me with what you sell and where it is stuck.
