# Founding AI Operations Architect | Build the Future of Home Services ## About EPIC EPIC Septic & Service is one of the fastest-growing septic and wastewater companies in America. We are a veteran-owned organization with operations expanding across multiple states and an ambitious vision to become the first nationally recognized brand in the septic and wastewater industry. But we're not just building a septic company. We're building the operating system behind it. Our mission is to create the first AI-powered Virtual Back Office (VBO) for the septic and wastewater industry—combining customer service, dispatching, sales, inspections, maintenance agreements, reporting, and franchise support into a single scalable platform. We believe the future of home services is not simply hiring more people. We believe the future is AI-powered operations supported by exceptional field teams. ## The Opportunity We are seeking a Founding AI Operations Architect to help design, build, and implement the technology infrastructure that will power EPIC's next phase of growth.

This is a systems architecture and operational design role focused on leveraging AI, automation, and modern technology to transform how a service business operates. You will work directly with the founder and executive team to map processes, identify opportunities for automation, and build the foundation for a platform that can scale across company-owned locations, franchisees, and strategic partners nationwide. We are looking for a builder, an operator, and a visionary who enjoys solving complex operational challenges with technology. ## What You'll Build ### Customer Experience Systems * AI-powered call answering * Lead qualification and routing * Appointment scheduling * Customer communication workflows * Automated follow-up sequences ### Revenue Operations * AI sales agents * Estimate and proposal generation * Maintenance agreement enrollment * Payment collection workflows * Customer retention programs ### Field Operations * Dispatch automation * Technician scheduling * Inspection workflows * Service reminders * Work order management ### AI Agent Ecosystem * Customer Service Agent * Dispatcher Agent * Sales Agent * Collections Agent * Inspection Report Agent * Franchise Support Agent * Internal Operations Assistant ### Reporting & Intelligence * Executive dashboards * Operational scorecards * Franchise performance reporting * KPI monitoring * Business intelligence systems ## Current Technology Stack We are currently evaluating and implementing technologies including: * Jobber * Claude * UJET * Make * n8n * Zapier * Airtable * Retool * Custom APIs and integrations We are open to recommendations from the right candidate. ## First 90-Day Objectives ### Phase 1 – Discovery & Architecture * Audit current EPIC workflows * Map customer journeys from lead to completion * Identify automation opportunities * Design overall system architecture * Create implementation roadmap ### Phase 2 – MVP Development * AI phone answering workflows * Lead qualification automation * Scheduling automation * Estimate generation workflows * Customer communication systems ### Phase 3 – Virtual Back Office Launch * Dispatch automation * Maintenance agreement workflows * KPI dashboard implementation * Reporting framework * Initial franchise-ready operating model ## Ideal Experience You have successfully built or implemented: * AI agents and automation systems * Contact center automation * CRM integrations * Workflow automation platforms * Field service management systems * Operational software for service businesses * Multi-location or franchise support systems Bonus experience includes: * Jobber * ServiceTitan * Home service businesses * Plumbing, HVAC, electrical, septic, or wastewater industries * Franchise operations * AI-powered customer support systems ## What We're Not Looking For Please do not apply if you are: * A website designer * Looking for simple development tasks * An agency that outsources work * Someone without hands-on AI automation experience * Someone who has never built operational systems that drive real business outcomes We are looking for someone who can think strategically, architect systems, and execute. ## Why This Opportunity Is Different Most companies use AI to make small improvements. We are using AI to reimagine how an entire industry operates. Our goal is to create the first fully AI-enabled septic and wastewater platform in America and ultimately build the infrastructure that powers operators nationwide. This is an opportunity to help build something from the ground up, have a direct impact on the direction of the platform, and work alongside a team that is committed to innovation, execution, and long-term growth. ## To Apply Please include: 1. Examples of AI systems you have designed or built. 2. Relevant automation or operational projects. 3. CRM or field-service integrations you have implemented. 4. Your preferred technology stack and why. 5. How you would approach building an AI-powered Virtual Back Office for a service business. 6. What excites you most about this opportunity.

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. If you're a proactive expert who thrives in fast-evolving environments, including 2026 trends like privacy-centric tracking and Local Service Ads, and can deliver measurable results in competitive markets, we want to hear from you. Key Responsibilities: - Manage and optimize Google Ads and Google Local Services Ads accounts for 10 hours weekly initially, then up to 20 hours per week over the next several months (plus more if desired), including setup, ongoing maintenance, and scaling for new clients. - Pass Google Ads certification exams on our behalf to maintain our Google Partner status. Structure campaigns logically based on business objectives, using tools such as Google Ads Editor for bulk changes and the Manager Account (MCC) for multi-account oversight. - Conduct in-depth keyword research and management, incorporating negative keywords to eliminate irrelevant searches and reduce wasted spend. - Implement and refine bidding strategies, including Target CPA and Target ROAS, using a mix of automation and manual controls for budget optimization. - Craft compelling ad copy, including Responsive Search Ads (RSAs), and conduct A/B testing for performance gains. - Enhance ads with extensions and assets, such as site links, callouts, and location extensions, to boost visibility. - Analyze key metrics, including CTR, CPC, Conversion Rate, ROAS, and other relevant performance data, using Google Analytics 4 (GA4) integration to identify trends, underperforming segments, and opportunities. - Set up and maintain conversion tracking, including server-side and first-party data solutions for privacy compliance. - Perform proactive optimizations: search term audits, pausing underperforming campaigns, audience targeting, remarketing, and landing page alignment to achieve 1:1 conversion ratios. - Handle automation wisely - trusting Google's AI where appropriate but overriding to prevent overspending. - Manage and optimize Google Local Services Ads for service-based clients, including profile review, budget recommendations, lead quality evaluation, dispute management where appropriate, and ongoing performance monitoring. - Stay ahead of trends like Performance Max (PMax), privacy-centric tracking, and Local Service Ads (LSAs) for service-based clients. - Provide clear, insightful reporting to internal stakeholders, highlighting ROI and strategic recommendations. - Participate in paid client-facing meetings as needed, including onboarding meetings, troubleshooting meetings, and periodic reporting/update meetings. - Periodically provide basic sales-support guidance to help us evaluate prospective Google paid search clients, including whether Google Ads, Google Local Services Ads, or both are appropriate; estimated setup and monthly management time; and recommended ad spend levels. - Align all efforts with client business goals, such as lead generation and brand awareness, while embodying our forensic, engineering-driven approach. Required Skills & Qualifications: 1. Technical Proficiency & Strategy - Proven expertise in account structure and setup: Organizing campaigns, ad groups, and keywords based on business objectives. - Advanced keyword management and research using tools like Keyword Planner, with strong use of negative keywords to minimize waste. - Mastery of bidding and budget optimization, including automated strategies such as Target CPA and Target ROAS, along with manual in-depth control. - Skilled in ad copywriting and testing: Creating relevant ads, RSAs, and A/B variations for optimal performance. - Proficient with ad extensions and assets to enhance visibility, including site links, callouts, and location extensions. - Expert-level knowledge of Google Ads Editor for bulk edits and Google Ads Manager Account (MCC) for multi-client management. - Strong working knowledge of Google Local Services Ads, including setup, optimization, budget strategy, lead review, lead quality improvement, and ongoing client guidance. 2. Analytical & Data Skills - Strong data analysis and interpretation: Evaluating CTR, CPC, Conversion Rate, ROAS, and other metrics to spot trends and drive adjustments. - Experience implementing conversion tracking, including GA4 integration, to measure true business value. - Ability to improve Quality Score through optimized keyword-ad-landing page relationships, reducing CPC and boosting positions. - Pattern recognition in historical data, especially in post-COVID ad auction dynamics. 3. Optimization & Maintenance - Proactive performance tuning: Regular audits, pausing underperformers, and testing new strategies. - Landing page optimization for relevance, mobile-friendliness, and high conversion rates. Audience targeting and remarketing to refine reach and reconnect with visitors. - Balanced handling of automation: Knowing when to leverage or override Google's AI to control spend. - Ongoing Google Local Services Ads optimization, including evaluating lead quality, recommending appropriate weekly budgets, and identifying opportunities to improve performance. 4. Soft Skills & Business Acumen - Exceptional attention to detail in geolocation, bidding, keyword management, and LSA profile accuracy to avoid budget waste. - Clear communication and reporting: Presenting data digestibly, emphasizing ROI and insights. Strong client-facing communication skills and willingness to participate in client onboarding, troubleshooting, and reporting/update meetings when needed. - Strategic thinking: Aligning campaigns with broader goals like lead generation or awareness. Ability to quickly evaluate prospective clients and provide practical sales-support recommendations regarding Google Ads, Google Local Services Ads, setup requirements, monthly management needs, and recommended ad spend. - Adaptability: Keeping current with AI, privacy changes, server-side tracking, first-party data, Google Local Services Ads, and platform evolutions. Additional Requirements: - 5+ years of hands-on Google Ads management experience, preferably for service-based or high-value clients, such as law, healthcare, home services, and ecommerce. - Strong hands-on experience with Google Local Services Ads. - Current or recent Google Ads certifications.

Comfort with periodically providing limited, unpaid sales support to prospective accounts, understanding that none of us gets paid unless we land the account. - Portfolio or case studies demonstrating ROI improvements in competitive markets.

What We Offer: - Competitive hourly rate based on experience, $50-$70/hour, negotiable. - Opportunity to work with a forward-thinking agency in forensic SEO and search engineering. - Flexible, part-time commitment starting at 10 hours per week, with the potential to grow to 20 hours per week and possibly full-time if desired. - Paid client-facing meetings when your participation is needed. - Access to our tools and resources for efficient management. - Collaborative environment focused on long-term client success and measurable results.

B2B Sales Executive & Appointment Setter - AI Consulting & Implementation We're looking for a part-time B2B sales professional to generate qualified discovery calls for our AI, data, and automation agency. We're a fast-growing, boutique AI consulting and implementation firm. We work with CEOs and COOs at mid-market professional services firms - law firms, accounting firms, and consulting practices (with a secondary focus on manufacturing) - to deploy AI systems that turn a 40-hour work week into 168 hours of productive output. We're operators, not theorists. We build and run the systems ourselves. This is not a generic outreach role. We need someone who can start real conversations with senior decision-makers, communicate a specific and differentiated value proposition, and qualify prospects who are actually ready to act. ** What You'll Do ** You'll help us identify, contact, and qualify potential buyers through outbound email, LinkedIn, and phone follow-up. ** Responsibilities include ** - Build targeted prospect lists from our ICP: mid-market law firms, accounting firms, staffing companies, and consulting practices - Research decision-makers (typically CEOs, COOs, Managing Partners, and Firm Administrators) - Write and personalize outbound messages that speak to operational leverage, not generic "AI" buzzwords - Run LinkedIn and email outreach sequences Start real conversations - not just send messages - Qualify prospects on fit, pain, urgency, budget, and decision-making authority - Book qualified discovery calls on our calendar - Keep CRM records and outreach tracking clean in HubSpot - Report back on objections, responses, and patterns so we can sharpen messaging ** Who We're Targeting ** Our buyers are operations-minded leaders at professional services firms generating $5M–$150M in revenue. They're not looking for another vendor pitch. They're looking for someone who can actually execute. ** Primary decision-makers ** CEO / Managing Partner COO / VP of Operations CMO / VP of Marketing These are not warm, inbound leads. You need to be comfortable opening cold conversations with principals at professional firms who get a lot of outreach and have low tolerance for generic pitches. ** You May Be a Good Fit If You Have** - Experience with B2B appointment setting or outbound sales - ideally for consulting, professional services, agencies, or technology services - Proven ability to book meetings with CEOs, COOs, Managing Partners, or firm-level decision-makers - Strong written English and the ability to write outreach that sounds like a real person, not a sequence - An understanding of consultative selling - you're qualifying, not pitching features - Comfort discussing business outcomes: efficiency, leverage, cost reduction, revenue growth - Experience with outreach tools such as HubSpot, Clay, Smartlead, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Apollo, or similar - Ability to work independently and report clearly on activity, replies, objections, and booked calls ** Not a Fit If ** - You have no experience selling professional services, consulting, or B2B technology - You rely on generic templates and high-volume spray-and-pray outreach - You can't speak intelligently about what makes a prospect a good fit before booking the call - You treat appointment setting as a volume game rather than a qualification exercise - You're unfamiliar with how law firms, accounting firms, or staffing companies are structured and how decisions get made ** Compensation ** - We're open to hourly and/or performance-based compensation. We will not accept retainers for the first month. - Target range: $25–$45/hr depending on experience - Performance incentives: bonus per qualified discovery call held, commission on self-sourced closed-won engagements - Increased hours based on results TOTAL COMP: If hourly: $120-140k If commission: $160-180k ** Ideal Schedule ** Part-time to start: 10–20 hours per week If performance is strong, this grows. We will not respond to applications that are generic, AI-generated without personalization, or that don't include the outbound message example. We know what good outreach looks like - that example is your first audition. NO AGENCIES. DO NOT REACH OUT OFF UPWORK.
