Summary

Job Description: I am looking for a highly adaptable, tech-savvy right-hand person (essentially a "mini-me") to help me navigate a busy season over the next 3+ months. I run a fast-paced operation juggling multiple platforms, clients, and projects, and I need an in-field utility player who can jump in, figure things out, and help drive actions to completion. This is a part-time role where you will act as the bridge between technical execution, operational tasks, and client support. If you love variety, learn new software quickly, and take pride in getting things done, this is the role for you. The Details: Hours: Approximately 20 hours per week. Duration: 3 months (with the possibility of extension if it's a great fit). Key Responsibilities: Drive Actions: Take ownership of pending tasks, follow up on project milestones, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks. Client Assistance: Help manage client communications, troubleshoot basic issues, and ensure a smooth customer experience. Platform Management: Assist with updates, data entry, and basic configurations across my existing tech stack. Problem Solving: Act as a true utility player—whether it is tweaking a workflow, pulling a data report, or drafting an email using AI, you are ready to tackle it. The Tech Stack: You do not need to be a master developer in all of these, but you must be comfortable navigating them and willing to learn. Experience with the following is highly preferred: WordPress: Basic content updates, plugin management, and site maintenance. Caspio: Familiarity with database management and low-code applications. n8n: Basic understanding of workflow automation and API integrations. LLMs: Comfortable using AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, etc.) to draft content, summarize data, or solve problems. SQL: Ability to run basic queries and manage data sets. QuickBooks: Basic bookkeeping, invoicing, or expense tracking. Who You Are: Resourceful: You know how to Google a problem, consult an LLM, and find a solution before asking for help. Organized: You can manage your own time and keep track of multiple moving pieces. Communicative: You provide clear, concise updates on what is done and what is blocking you. Adaptable: You do not mind switching gears from a technical database task to answering a client email.
