Eligibility: This role is open to U.S. citizens only due to client security and compliance requirements. Please apply through this posting only — do not contact Data-Sleek directly regarding this position. Applications received outside this channel will not be considered and reported to Upwork. Data-Sleek is looking for a Senior AI Solutions Engineer to lead our on-premise and government-cloud AI deployments. You will design, build, and deploy AI-powered data pipelines for clients who cannot use commercial cloud due to ITAR, CMMC, or other data residency constraints, beginning with a client in the aerospace and defense sector. Beyond this first engagement, you will become Data-Sleek's go-to engineer for AI deployments across defense and aerospace clients, building the practice rather than just executing a single project. About Data-Sleek Founded in 2020, Data‑Sleek® is a U.S.-based AI and data consulting firm that helps mid-market companies build the data foundation that AI actually runs on. We own the full path — data strategy, architecture, integration, warehousing, and AI implementation — so organizations can adopt AI with confidence, stay compliant, and scale, without first hiring an internal data team. Our distributed U.S. team (San Francisco, Los Angeles, Irvine, Dallas, Chicago, and New York) partners with clients across healthcare, finance, insurance, logistics, and technology, modernizing data platforms with best-in-class tools like Snowflake, dbt, Fivetran, Tableau, and AWS. Trusted by Fortune 500 institutions and growing companies alike, Data‑Sleek turns complex data into measurable outcomes — faster insight, lower cost, and AI projects that deliver. About the Role You will own the technical delivery of AI-powered data pipelines in restricted environments where commercial cloud is not an option. The immediate engagement centers on a Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) data migration: building a pipeline that connects to a client's SharePoint on a restricted Microsoft 365 government tenant, reads engineering documents, classifies and summarizes them, detects duplicates, and rates naming-convention compliance to produce a migration-readiness report. You will start on-premise, then help the client evaluate and move to government cloud for production. Key Responsibilities AI Pipeline Development Build AI pipelines that connect to a client's SharePoint on a government cloud tenant, read engineering documents, classify them by type, generate summaries, detect duplicates, and rate naming-convention compliance in support of PLM data migration. Catalog large document repositories and produce migration-readiness reports and Excel catalogs that give clients a clear, measurable picture of their data. Engineer document-parsing workflows across DOCX, PDF, and XLSX formats, including embedding generation and database operations. On-Premise & Government Cloud Deployment Deploy on-premise first — a Mac Mini running Gemma via Ollama — standing up, serving, and tuning local inference infrastructure. Evaluate and migrate to production on Azure OpenAI (Azure Government) or AWS Bedrock (GovCloud) when the client is ready to scale. Keep deployments compliant within ITAR-sensitive, restricted-network boundaries throughout. Architecture & Cost Advisory Produce cost models and architecture recommendations that help client IT teams make informed platform decisions based on measured data, not vendor pitches. Compare deployment options — local, Azure Government, and AWS GovCloud — on cost, performance, and compliance, and explain the trade-offs clearly. Practice Building & Delivery Serve as Data-Sleek's go-to engineer for AI deployments across defense and aerospace clients. Build a reusable capability — a repeatable AI-solutions practice — rather than executing a single one-off project. What You Bring Required U.S. Citizen: U.S. citizenship is required and non-negotiable due to ITAR and client security and compliance requirements. Production LLM deployment: You have stood up inference infrastructure — not just called an API. You've handled model loading, memory constraints, failure modes, and throughput tuning in a real deployment. Local inference: Ollama, vLLM, llama.cpp, LM Studio, or TGI. You've served open-source models (Gemma, Llama, Mistral) on local hardware. Cloud AI platforms: Azure OpenAI or AWS Bedrock — at least one. Service configuration, model access, authentication, and token-based pricing. Python: Pipeline engineering — document parsing (DOCX, PDF, XLSX), API integrations, embedding generation, and database operations (SQLite, Postgres). Experience: 5+ years post-degree in software engineering, data engineering, or ML engineering. Strong Preferences Microsoft ecosystem: Entra ID, Microsoft Graph API, and SharePoint REST API at the API level. GCC High experience is a bonus. MCP (Model Context Protocol): Experience building or consuming MCP servers — a significant plus for a fast-evolving protocol. Workflow orchestration: n8n, Temporal, Airflow, or similar. The pipeline is orchestrated, not scripted. Government cloud awareness: Understanding of what FedRAMP High, IL4/IL5, and ITAR mean for cloud architecture decisions. Embeddings & vector similarity: sentence-transformers, pgvector, Qdrant, or FAISS for duplicate detection. Bonus (valued if present) Aerospace or defense experience: Familiarity with ECOs, BOMs, and AS9100 saves ramp time. Apple Silicon optimization: MLX, Metal acceleration, and Ollama tuning on M-series chips. Agentic frameworks: Bedrock AgentCore or Azure AI Foundry — the future direction involves agentic AI workflows on government cloud. What This Role Is Not Model training or fine-tuning. This is deployment engineering, not research. Data science or statistical modeling. The AI here is document understanding and classification, not predictive analytics. Frontend development. The deliverable is an Excel catalog and a report, not a web app. Sales or client acquisition. Data-Sleek's leadership manages the client relationship; you focus on delivery. Engagement & Compensation Remote, US-based. Occasional on-site travel to client facilities for hardware deployment and workshops may be needed. An average of 2–3 trips for the first engagement may be possible. Compensation. $40-$55/hour Why Join Data-Sleek? At Data-Sleek, you'll lead AI deployments in environments most engineers never touch — government cloud and on-premise systems where commercial tools simply aren't an option. Your work will directly shape how defense and aerospace clients adopt AI, and you'll build a reusable capability the company grows around. We focus on doing the right thing architecturally rather than selling the most expensive option, and we give our engineers the autonomy to deliver real solutions for real constraints. How to Apply If you've shipped real LLM deployments with real constraints, we'd like to hear from you. Please submit: Your resume A brief note describing one LLM deployment you've shipped — what model, what infrastructure, what data source, and what went wrong. Data-Sleek® is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all contractors.

Our fast-growth digital agency works with iconic consumer brands and we're looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant and right-hand person to support our founding team as we scale. This is not a traditional EA role, and it's not a pure operations role either. It sits somewhere in between, with opportunity to grow into more responsibility. If you need a clean job description to feel comfortable, this probably isn't for you. If you get energized by the idea of being close to the action at a fast-moving agency with big ambitions, keep reading. To be clear: we are not looking for a great EA that waits for tasks and executes them well. We want someone that can proactively drive, run point on big projects, operationalize strategic brain dumps, and also flawlessly execute on the little stuff. **What You’ll Do** There's no tidy way to describe this role because no two weeks look the same. You'll support our executive team directly: keeping them organized, unblocked, and focused on what matters most. Some days that looks like traditional EA work. Other days it looks more like special operations or something else entirely. You'll be the connective tissue between our founders and everything that needs to happen. That means proactive calendar management, inbox triage, daily briefings, and making sure nothing gets dropped - but it also means owning an independent queue of operational projects and driving them to completion without someone chasing you down. The core of this role is capture and close. When something is asked in Slack, it gets tracked. When something is assigned, it gets done and confirmed. When something is slipping, you flag it before it's late - not after. You don't wait to be checked in on. You're the one doing the checking. • Daily executive support: briefings, inbox triage and labeling, calendar management, meeting coordination, and keeping founders organized and unblocked • Task tracking ownership: you're the system to capture, prioritize, and get past the finish line • Proactive status communication: weekly board sweeps, unprompted updates, and flagging blockers the moment they emerge — not when someone asks • Operational project ownership: SOPs, onboarding, tools audits, HR admin and whatever else needs building or maintaining • Urgency calibration: you know the difference between a P3 that can wait and something that needs to happen in the next two hours - and you act accordingly • Close the loop: you confirm when things are done, you resurface when things are stuck, and you never let an open ask sit silent • Own research projects: from quick lookups to deep dives. Deliver clear, actionable outputs • Help keep people-related efforts moving: hiring coordination, outreach, candidate tracking, and more • Be a trusted presence: someone the team relies on, not just a task processor • Biz Dev and Marketing coordination: From keeping our CRM clean to planning cool events and organizing case study assets **What We're Looking For** We care far more about who you are than what your resume looks like. • You run your own queue. You don't need to be told what to work on next — you know what's open, what's urgent, and what's been sitting too long, and you act on it without prompting • Nothing falls through the cracks on your watch. If it was asked, it's tracked. If it's tracked, it has a status. If the status changes, you say so • You communicate proactively and specifically. "I'm on it" isn't an update. You say what you did, what's next, and what you need • You recognize urgency. A meeting happening in two hours that needs to be moved is not a task for later — you know that instinctively • You move fast and stay calm when things shift. Priorities change; you adapt without losing the thread • You're deeply tech-savvy and pick up new tools fast — Asana, Slack, Rippling, Google Workspace, and whatever else we throw at you • Extensive Claude / AI experience is a strong plus — we run our operations through AI tooling and expect this person to do the same • You've managed complex executive calendars and inboxes before and understand what real-time support looks like at that level **What This Is Not** This is not a role where you execute tasks when asked and wait for more. It's not a role where blockers sit until the next check-in. It's not a role where you update the system right before a meeting to look current. If your default mode is reactive, this isn't the right fit. If your default mode is "I already handled it," and you be 3 steps ahead, we'd love to hear from you. If you are not comfortable working in the grey or in a fast-growth environment, this role probably isn't for you. **What You'll Get** • A front-row seat building a high-growth agency • Direct, daily access to the executive team • A role that will evolve as we do, with real opportunity to grow into whatever you're most passionate with • A collaborative, no-bureaucracy environment where your work actually matters

Responsibilities include managing sales teams, identifying new business opportunities, and collaborating with our marketing department to enhance our market presence.

We're looking for a partner who wants to build a book of business that compounds month after month while helping medical practices transform how they acquire patients. ModFXMedia is the marketing engine behind some of the fastest-growing medical practices in the country. We don't do cookie-cutter marketing—we build custom lead generation systems, AI-powered patient acquisition tools, and revenue-driving campaigns for doctors who are serious about scaling. And we need someone who can close. The Opportunity You'll be joining at the perfect inflection point. We've cracked the code on medical practice marketing (TRT clinics, functional medicine, chiropractic, aesthetic medicine), our client results are exceptional, and demand is there. What we need is someone to turn conversations into contracts—consistently. This isn't a grind-it-out sales role. This is a growth partnership where: ✅ You're selling a service that genuinely transforms medical practices ✅ Your income grows exponentially as your book of business scales ✅ You're building relationships with practice owners, not chasing one-time deals ✅ You have autonomy, flexibility, and real upside The goal: 8+ new clients per month at $2,000-$3,000 MRR each. What You'll Actually Do Own the entire sales cycle - From discovery call to signed contract, you're the closer Consult, don't pitch - Understand practice goals, diagnose marketing gaps, prescribe solutions Build your book - Every client you close becomes part of your recurring commission base Partner with leadership - Work directly with our CMO to refine positioning, pricing, and packaging Scale proven offers - Monthly marketing plans, lead gen systems, AI automation, social media management, website development You're not selling vaporware. Our clients see real ROI. Your job is to get the right practices in the door.

You ask better questions than your competition. ✔️ Self-starter - You don't need to be micromanaged. You know how to prospect, qualify, and close. ✔️ Healthcare curious - Bonus if you know the medical space, but not required. We'll teach you the niche. ✔️ Metrics-driven - You track pipeline, conversion rates, and know your numbers cold ✔️ Tech-savvy - Comfortable with CRMs (HubSpot/Salesforce), Zoom demos, and modern sales tools Most importantly: You want to build something. Not just hit quota—build a recurring revenue machine that pays you for years to come. The Compensation You'll earn a $2,500/month base salary plus 20% commission on the first month's revenue and 5% recurring commission on all active clients for as long as they stay. Hit quota at 8 deals/month and you're making $70K in Year 1. By Month 6, as your recurring commissions compound, you're tracking toward $130-150K. By Month 12, top performers are earning $180K-220K annually with a growing book of business that continues paying month after month. Performance bonuses of $2,500-$5,000 kick in at 10+ deals per month. This isn't capped—your income grows as your book grows.

We expect you to be unstoppable by day 90. Why Medical Practices? The healthcare industry is massively underserved when it comes to marketing. Most practices are running on referrals and outdated strategies. When we show them modern lead generation, AI automation, and data-driven campaigns—they convert. You're not convincing people they need marketing. You're showing them a better way to do what they already know they need. Ready to Build? If you're the kind of person who: Gets excited about recurring revenue models Wants to be rewarded for the long-term value you create Thrives in a high-autonomy, high-accountability environment And knows how to close Then let's talk.

Executive Virtual Assistant (President Support + Sales Operations) Ongoing contract, up to 20 hours per week About ILM Professional Services At ILM Professional Services, we don't just build software; we craft solutions that transform businesses and lives. Our commitment to excellence, empathy, and innovation is at the heart of everything we do. By fostering a culture that values lifelong learning, inclusivity, and integrity, we empower our team to create impactful solutions that meet our clients' true needs. Join us in our mission to be the most trusted ally in the technology landscape, where every interaction is a step towards a brighter, more connected future. Position Overview ILM is hiring an Executive Personal Assistant (PA) to support the President and bring structure, focus, and execution discipline across day-to-day leadership, sales operations, and cross functional coordination. This role is a force-multiplier: you will convert priorities into clear plans, capture actions and follow-ups in our systems, and ensure commitments turn into completed outcomes. This is not a basic admin role. The PA will act as the President’s operating partner, helping run a weekly operating rhythm across Sales, Marketing, Technology, Human Resources, and Recruiting. Key Responsibilities Executive Operating System & Planning • Own the President’s calendar, email triage, and daily priorities; proactively protect focus time and reduce context switching. • Run a weekly planning cadence: align priorities, define outcomes, and publish a simple weekly plan (Top 5 priorities, key meetings, deadlines). • Prepare the President for 1:1s and key meetings: confirm objectives, create agendas, gather pre-reads, and ensure decisions are captured. • Extract tasks and commitments from conversations and convert them into organized action lists with owners, deadlines, reminders, and follow-ups. • Maintain a real-time executive task dashboard (daily/weekly) that gives visibility to what is in progress, what is blocked, and what is next. • Drive closure: ensure open loops are completed or consciously deprioritized. Sales Support & CRM Discipline • Schedule client meetings and interviews, including calendar invites, agendas, reminders, and logistics (including lunch reservations when needed). • Maintain sales hygiene in CRM: enter deal details, notes, next steps, owners, due dates, and follow-up tasks within 24 hours of activity. • Post-meeting follow-through: organize recordings, summarize outcomes, document action items, and ensure next meetings are scheduled. • Coordinate candidate interviews with clients; send resumes and concise candidate summaries; track interview outcomes and next steps. • Manage contract workflows: send contracts via DocuSign, track signatures, store executed contracts in SharePoint, and maintain a contract/extension tracker. • Proactively manage extensions: trigger reminders and coordinate internal follow-up at least 6 weeks prior to contract end dates. • Support relationship-building efforts such as client gifts and holiday outreach by researching preferences and coordinating delivery. Employee & Leadership Support • Coordinate recurring employee 1:1s with the President; send agendas, reminders, and pre work prompts to drive productive conversations. • Capture notes and distribute clear action items after 1:1s (owners, deadlines, follow-ups). • Maintain the President’s direct-report task tracker and ensure weekly follow-through. • Support company-wide performance processes (360 reviews for managers): scheduling, documentation, reminders, and completion tracking. • Coordinate internal meetings: weekly leadership cadence, Scrum notes distribution, and twice-yearly all-company meetings. • Draft executive communications as requested (anniversary messages, year-end updates, employee recognition). • Coordinate employee appreciation and gifting initiatives. Qualifications Experience • 5+ years of high-ownership Personal Assistant in a small business environment. • Demonstrated experience building structure for an unstructured environment: weekly planning, action tracking, and follow-up discipline. • Experience supporting Sales operations and CRM hygiene. • Exposure to professional services, consulting, software/technology, or technical teams is preferred. • Experience coordinating across departments (Sales, Marketing, Technology, HR/Recruiting). Core Skills • Extreme organization and follow-through: you create clarity, set cadence, and close loops. • Strong written communication: crisp agendas, meeting notes, and executive-ready summaries. • Meeting and calendar mastery: you anticipate conflicts, sequence priorities, and protect focus time. • Operational judgment and discretion: you handle sensitive information with integrity and professionalism. • System builder mindset: you design lightweight processes that reduce chaos and increase throughput. • Proactive ownership: you do not wait to be told; you identify what is missing and take action. Tools & Working Style • Proficiency with Microsoft 365 (Outlook, Word, Excel, Teams) and SharePoint. • Comfort with DocuSign (or equivalent e-signature tools). • Comfort with AI tools for summarization and drafting (e.g., meeting transcript cleanup) while maintaining confidentiality standards. • Ability to work in a fast-changing environment, manage multiple threads, and maintain calm execution under pressure. Core Values and Culture Fit Candidates must demonstrate a strong commitment to ILM’s core values of excellence, integrity, lifelong learning, perseverance and mutual respect. We are looking for a driven individual who embodies an entrepreneurial spirit, is self-motivated, and takes initiative. A passion for technology and a desire to create a positive impact through innovative solutions are essential.
