AI-Powered HR Manager: Build It, Automate It, Hand It Off ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT THIS IS We're a multi-location retail business and we need one sharp HR person to build our entire people operation from scratch and run it lean using AI. You'll get access to a Claude team account and the tools you need to move fast. In return, we expect you to work smarter than a traditional HR person, not harder. The hours are lower because the tools are better. The output standard is high because you'll have everything you need to meet it. Job descriptions, some policies, and KPI frameworks are already partially built. Your job is to take what exists, sharpen it, fill the gaps, automate everything you can, and deliver a system that runs with minimal intervention from anyone. We are investing in the right person and the right tools. We expect 10x the value of a traditional HR hire in half the hours. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WHAT WE'RE GIVING YOU - Claude team account: use it for drafting, research, screening, template generation, policy writing, everything - Existing job descriptions, partial policies, and KPI frameworks to build on. You are not starting from zero - Direct owner access for fast decisions, no bureaucracy, no approval chains - A custom internal HR portal where your content lives and gets automated going forward - Clear scope, clear milestones, and clear payment triggers with no ambiguity about what done looks like ----------------------------------------------------------------------- THE ENGAGEMENT: TWO PHASES PHASE 1 - Build the Foundation + Make 5 Hires 4-6 weeks | Project-based | Milestone payments - Audit all existing job descriptions, policies, and salary ranges: benchmark against current market data, flag gaps, and finalize with owner before any offer goes out - Build and complete KPI frameworks for every role (managers and associates) so every hire knows exactly what success looks like from Day 1 - Post, source, screen, and close 5 management hires across our 3 locations (see below) - Build full HR infrastructure: employee handbook, onboarding checklists per role, offer letter templates, and compliance docs, all using AI where possible - Set up ATS with automated screening, self-book interview scheduling, and AI-assisted candidate filtering - Migrate payroll to Gusto and/or Paychex, live and running before Phase 2 starts - Feed all content into our internal HR portal so the AI layer can maintain and automate it going forward - Deliver a clean handoff guide so routine HR runs without you PHASE 2 - Run HR + Payroll Ongoing 2-4 hrs/week | Ongoing Upwork contract | Paid weekly or bi-weekly - Process weekly payroll across all locations: accurate, on time, every time, automated as far as the platform allows - Handle ongoing hiring as new roles open, staggered, not all at once - Own all employee HR questions: the owner is never the first call - Keep compliance current: local labor law updates annually and you stay ahead of them - Continuously improve and automate, always reducing manual work over time - Update HR portal content as policies and roles evolve ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PHASE 1 MILESTONES & PAYMENT SCHEDULE All Phase 1 payments are milestone-triggered. No milestone, no payment. M1 - Compensation and KPI audit complete across all roles, owner sign-off received M2 - All 5 manager job posts live, ATS configured, active pipeline running M3 - All 5 manager offers accepted, start dates set M4 - Full HR infrastructure delivered: handbook, onboarding, templates, compliance, portal content M5 - Payroll migrated, first clean payroll run complete in Gusto/Paychex Phase 2: Ongoing HR and payroll, 8-12 hrs/week ----------------------------------------------------------------------- PHASE 1 HIRING SCOPE: 5 ROLES Managers come first. Associates are hired in waves underneath them. You manage the sequencing so payroll ramps up at a pace that makes sense. Role Store Manager Assistant Store Manager Laundromat Manager (24/7 operation) Compensation for all roles is competitive. Details are available during the interview process. Your M1 deliverable includes validating and finalizing all comp ranges before any offer goes out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- KPIs ARE A CORE DELIVERABLE Before the first hire is made, you will build out KPI frameworks for every role. We have some frameworks started. Your job is to complete them, make them measurable, and make sure every person we hire knows exactly what success looks like from Day 1. - Store managers: sales targets, shrink rate, labor cost percentage, customer satisfaction, team retention, etc - Assistant managers: shift performance, task completion, team development metrics - Location manager (24/7): uptime, cleanliness scores, incident reports, revenue per shift - Associates: productivity targets, attendance, cross-training progress These KPIs feed into our internal system and become how we manage and evaluate performance going forward. Build them right the first time and you will be responsible fully yo track these. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW WE EXPECT YOU TO USE AI You'll have a Claude team account from Day 1. We expect you to use it actively. The reason the hours for this role are lean is because AI handles a significant portion of the drafting, research, and routine work. That is the deal. - Use Claude to draft job descriptions, policies, onboarding docs, offer letters, and KPI frameworks - Use AI screening tools or Claude to filter applications before you spend time on them - Use AI to research compliance updates, benchmark salaries, and generate first drafts of any HR document - Use automation wherever the payroll platform or ATS allows and document what you've automated so it stays automated - Feed everything into our internal HR portal so the AI layer can maintain it going forward If you are not comfortable using AI as a core part of your workflow, this role is not for you. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR Must Have: - 3+ years HR experience in retail, hourly, or multi-location environments - Full-cycle recruiting: you have sourced, screened, and closed management and hourly roles end to end - Payroll management experience: you have run payroll, not just supported someone who did - Hands-on Gusto and/or Paychex experience - Genuine comfort with AI tools: you use them daily and you are not learning on the job here - Knowledge of local labor law in your operating jurisdiction, including wage ordinances, paid leave requirements, and scheduling laws - Ability to build HR infrastructure from scratch and hand it off clean Strong Bonus: - Experience migrating between payroll platforms - Has built KPI frameworks for hourly retail or service roles - Multi-location or franchise HR background - Experience building automated HR systems that reduced manual work measurably ----------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTRACT TERMS This is an Upwork contract.

Available for any additional meetings or calls the owner requests. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- AI TOOLS AND CONFIDENTIALITY POLICY This is a strict requirement, not a suggestion. By accepting this contract you agree to the following: AI Tools You May Use: - You will use only AI tools we provide or approve in writing. This currently means Claude via our team account, and any other tool we explicitly authorize. - You may not use personal AI accounts, free-tier tools, or any external AI platform to process, draft, or analyze any of our HR data, employee information, or business content. - All AI usage must happen within our provided accounts and systems so data stays within our environment at all times. - If you want to use a tool not on our approved list, you ask first. No exceptions. Confidentiality: - Everything you access, create, or learn in this role is strictly confidential: employee records, compensation data, business operations, HR policies, KPIs, candidate information, and all other business information. - You may not share, export, copy, or use any of our data, documents, or systems outside the scope of this contract and our approved tools. - All work product created under this contract belongs to us. You retain no rights to any documents, templates, systems, or processes you build. - You may not use our business information, processes, or data to benefit any other client, employer, or personal project, during or after this engagement. - Upon contract end, all access is revoked immediately. Any copies of our data or documents in your possession must be deleted and confirmed in writing. Violation of any of the above is grounds for immediate contract termination and may result in legal action. This is standard for any serious HR engagement. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- HOW TO APPLY In your Upwork proposal, answer these three questions. Keep each answer to 3-5 sentences. We are looking for substance, not length. 1. Tell us about one HR system you built from scratch. What did it include, how did you use AI in building it, and what does it look like today? 2. How have you used AI tools specifically in HR or payroll work? Give one concrete example with a real outcome. 3. Describe a payroll migration or complex payroll situation you owned end to end. What platform, how many employees, and what was hard about it? Proposals without clear answers to all three will not be reviewed. Generic cover letters will be skipped. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- We are an equal opportunity employer. This is an independent contractor engagement via Upwork. All applicable local, state, and federal labor law compliance is a core responsibility of this role.

# Microsoft Word Formatting Specialist Needed for 286-Page Customer Handbook ## Project Overview Tudor Energy is seeking an experienced Microsoft Word document-formatting specialist to manually clean up and professionally reformat a comprehensive customer handbook. The handbook contains approximately 286 pages covering our customer rewards program, membership levels, delivery programs, operating policies, frequently asked questions, customer responsibilities, and formal terms and conditions. The document’s content has already been written. This is **not a copywriting or policy-development project**. The goal is to transform the existing file into a polished, organized, user-friendly handbook while preserving all substantive content and policy language. ## Critical Content Requirement The selected freelancer must not: * Rewrite, summarize, simplify, reinterpret, or materially alter any policy. * Remove content because it appears repetitive. * Change reward amounts, eligibility requirements, fees, limitations, examples, or program rules. * Add new promises, guarantees, exceptions, or legal language. * Use AI or automated formatting tools without manually reviewing every page. * Make unapproved editorial decisions. Minor corrections to obvious spelling, punctuation, capitalization, or spacing errors may be suggested, but substantive wording must remain unchanged unless Tudor Energy specifically approves a change. When wording appears inconsistent, contradictory, duplicated, or unclear, the freelancer must flag it for review rather than silently correcting or deleting it. ## Scope of Work The freelancer will manually review and format the entire Microsoft Word document, including: * Creating a consistent heading hierarchy. * Standardizing chapter titles, section headings, subheadings, and body text. * Repairing broken or excessive bullet lists. * Correcting inconsistent indentation and paragraph spacing. * Reconstructing tables that currently appear as compressed or unformatted text. * Improving page breaks and preventing isolated headings or awkwardly split sections. * Standardizing fonts, margins, line spacing, headers, and footers. * Adding or repairing page numbers. * Creating a professional, clickable table of contents. * Applying consistent styles through Microsoft Word’s Styles system. * Improving the presentation of examples, FAQs, warnings, summaries, and policy sections. * Keeping related information together where practical. * Removing accidental blank pages and unnecessary formatting artifacts. * Making the document easy for ordinary residential heating-oil customers to read and navigate. * Preserving the distinction between customer-friendly explanations and formal terms and conditions. * Ensuring that the document remains editable in Microsoft Word. The finished document should look intentionally designed rather than merely cleaned up. ## Desired Visual Style The handbook should feel: * Professional. * Friendly and approachable. * Organized. * Easy to scan. * Appropriate for residential consumers. * Consistent with a dependable local heating-oil company. * Suitable for both digital distribution and printing. The design should not feel overly corporate, legalistic, decorative, or cluttered. Reasonable use of the following is encouraged: * Chapter divider pages. * Clearly formatted benefit summaries. * Readable comparison tables. * Callout boxes for important information. * Consistent FAQ formatting. * Clearly distinguished examples and calculations. * Subtle branding elements. * Adequate white space. * Repeating headers or chapter identifiers. Any design elements must remain editable and must not interfere with printing or accessibility. ## Required Deliverables The final project must include: 1. A fully formatted and editable `.docx` file. 2. A print-ready PDF generated from the completed Word document. 3. A clean, functional, clickable table of contents. 4. Consistent Word styles throughout the document. 5. Properly formatted tables, lists, examples, and FAQ sections. 6. A version showing tracked changes or another clear record of textual corrections. 7. A clean final version with accepted formatting and approved corrections. 8. A separate issue log listing: * Apparent contradictions. * Duplicate or overlapping provisions. * Missing information. * Unclear wording. * Inconsistent numbers, fees, point values, or program requirements. * Any content the freelancer believes requires owner review. 9. Confirmation that no substantive content was intentionally removed or rewritten. ## Quality-Control Expectations The freelancer must compare the finished document against the original and verify that: * Every chapter and section remains present. * All policies and terms remain intact. * All reward values, fees, point levels, gallon requirements, examples, and timelines remain accurate. * Tables contain all information from the original. * No text was accidentally lost during formatting. * Cross-references and the table of contents work correctly. * Page numbering is accurate. * The PDF renders consistently with the Word document. * There are no hidden comments, unresolved tracked changes, broken fields, or formatting errors in the final clean version. This project requires careful manual review. A document that has simply been passed through an automated formatting or AI tool will not be accepted. ## Required Experience Applicants should have demonstrated experience with: * Advanced Microsoft Word formatting. * Long-form document production. * Word Styles, section breaks, headers, footers, and automatic tables of contents. * Complex tables and multilevel lists. * Customer handbooks, policy manuals, operating manuals, employee handbooks, or similar documents. * Preparing files for both digital use and professional printing. * Maintaining content accuracy while improving readability. * Quality assurance for lengthy documents. Experience with legal, insurance, energy, utility, membership-program, or customer-policy documents is helpful but not required. ## Application Instructions Please include the following in your proposal: 1. A brief explanation of your experience formatting long and complex Microsoft Word documents. 2. Examples of comparable handbooks, manuals, policy documents, or reports you have formatted. 3. Your process for confirming that no content is lost or unintentionally changed. 4. How you handle contradictions or apparent errors without rewriting the client’s policies. 5. Whether you will personally perform the work or delegate any portion of it. 6. Your estimated project price and delivery schedule. 7. Confirmation that you can provide both the editable Word file and a print-ready PDF. 8. Confirmation that you are comfortable manually reviewing approximately 286 pages. Please begin your proposal with the phrase: **“Content preservation confirmed.”** Proposals that do not include this phrase may not be reviewed. ## Important Notes The selected freelancer may recommend improvements, but all substantive changes must be approved before being incorporated. Accuracy and content preservation are more important than completing the project quickly. Applicants should review the document carefully before providing a final price. This may lead to additional work on customer-facing summaries, enrollment materials, comparison charts, website content, and future versions of the handbook if the initial project is completed successfully.

I am looking for help marketing my law firm to clients across the country. To date, we've primarily relied on LinkedIn for social media marketing, but we are open to new ideas. Our firm helps commercial property owners understand whether their real estate assets are reasonably valued by government assessors (in Ohio, the County Auditor sets real estate values). We need help creating professional looking content, creating a content calendar, and converting possible post ideas from people in the firm into actual posts. I want a consistent, professional, and friendly voice and "look." We do most of our work in PA, OH, and Illinois, but we also have cases in many other states. I think we need up to 5 hours a week worth of help right now, but if you have good results and good ideas, and can help in other marketing efforts, that could grow. For instance, we've experimented with online advertising on Google with a marketing company.

About Rule Your Kingdom: Rule Your Kingdom is a premium forensic SEO and search engineering agency based in Waco, TX, dedicated to building technical SEO systems and digital infrastructure for high-stakes industries where search visibility directly impacts revenue. We serve clients in competitive sectors like law firms, medical practices, dental offices, home services, and eCommerce, capturing demand at the exact moment intent is expressed. Our approach is engineering focused: no smoke, no shortcuts, no wasted spend - only measurable authority built from the ground up through forensic analysis, intent-driven systems, and data-driven strategies. As a Google Partner, we command top spots on Google for our clients, blending creativity with rigorous technical expertise to foster brand loyalty and predictable revenue ecosystems. We're committed to outstanding customer service, honesty, integrity, and educating our clients on complex digital topics. We're expanding our paid search capabilities and seeking a highly skilled Google Paid Search Specialist with strong expertise in both Google Ads and Google Local Services Ads. We utilize both platforms extensively across our client base, and the right person must be highly capable with both. The types of Google paid search clients you may be taking over are in the following industries: automotive repair, residential HVAC, residential painting, roofing, flooring, kitchen and bath resurfacing/refinishing, aviation, and ecommerce sales of high-end sporting equipment. The focus of our proactive marketing efforts is to attract new clients primarily in the fields of law, healthcare, home services, and e-commerce. This is a part-time freelance role starting at 10 hours per week immediately, with the potential to grow to 20 hours per week over the next several months as we continue to grow quickly. There is also the potential to grow into a full-time position if you choose, although you are also welcome to remain part-time if that is your preference. You will represent yourself as our Paid Search Engineering Specialist - a title that aligns with our forensic SEO and search engineering prowess. You'll handle client accounts on our behalf, maintaining our Google Partner certifications by passing required Google tests, such as Google Ads certifications. While not exclusive to us, your work servicing our accounts must embody our engineering mindset: data-driven decisions over intuition, proactive optimization, and alignment with business objectives for maximum ROI. This role requires a blend of technical expertise, analytical acumen, strategic thinking, and strong client-facing communication. You must be open and available to participate in paid client-facing meetings when needed, including client onboarding, troubleshooting, and periodic reporting/update meetings. You will also be expected to periodically provide basic information to our sales team to help us evaluate and land prospective Google paid search clients. This may include helping us determine whether a particular prospective business client is a good candidate for Google Ads, Google Local Services Ads, or both; estimating how many hours of setup would be involved; estimating how many hours of monthly management would likely be required; and recommending appropriate monthly Google Ads spend or weekly Google Local Services Ads budgets. This limited sales-support input is the only activity we would expect you to occasionally perform without being paid, because none of us gets paid unless we land the account. You must be comfortable with that arrangement.
