Fractional Growth Lead for SaaS and startups. 15+ years turning content and SEO into pipeline, not vanity metrics.
Most founders don't need another freelancer running isolated tasks. They need someone who owns the growth function end to end. That's the role I step into.
What I run as your fractional lead:
✅ Content-led SEO: an editorial engine that ranks and converts, built on keyword data.
✅ Go-to-market: positioning, messaging, and the first 90 days of demand.
✅ Sales and marketing alignment: CRM and automation (Pipedrive, Mautic, Snov) wired to the funnel.
✅ Reporting: the analytics that show what's working, so budget follows results.
Proof:
- 100% Job Success and Top Rated on Upwork. 15+ years across SaaS, fintech, and professional services.
- Clients: Skiplagged, SaaSholic, DBM Sistemas, Investidores, Airfree.
- Built and ran SaaSholic's newsletter for 2,500+ founders and grew it into the US market.
- Creator of the Growth Diaries podcast (40+ episodes) and a 2,500-subscriber YouTube channel.
What clients say:
"Highly skilled and reliable, with excellent communication and a strong work ethic. Great value for companies looking for localization in Brazil." Augusto S., Business Developer at Skiplagged
"Consistently brings new ideas and ways to add value. Helpful, attentive, delivers results." Guilherme D., Operations Manager at DBM Sistemas
The real deal is this: I take on select projects to go deep, not wide. If you want a growth partner who owns SEO and content like an in-house lead, send the invite and let's map your first 90 days.

I work with founders and leadership teams where capable people and active projects exist, but execution still routes back to leadership. Priorities continually shift, ownership is often unclear, and progress depends on constant follow-up.
My role is to install execution clarity, then oversee it until work completes. That means defining scope, decision ownership, priorities, and handoffs so projects move forward without repeated intervention from leadership.
What changes with my involvement
- Projects reach completion
- Teams understand ownership and expectations
- Leaders have visibility
- Fewer interruptions and status meetings
- Less rework caused by unclear direction
What I’m responsible for
- Establishing clear scope, ownership, and decision rights
- Clarifying priorities across concurrent initiatives
- Managing timelines, dependencies, and follow-through
- Coordinating work across functions
- Maintaining execution as conditions change
How I work
Before taking responsibility for execution, I set the infrastructure required for work for the work to run reliably. Once that foundation is in place, I stay involved to ensure decisions are followed through, ownership is clear, and projects finish.
Tools
I configure tools (Asana, ClickUp, Notion, HubSpot, and similar) to reflect decisions and ownership, so systems support execution instead of creating overhead.
Typical engagements
- Managing multiple active projects with executive visibility
- Acting as a fractional operations lead
- Repairing unclear ownership and stalled initiatives
- Reducing coordination load across teams
Client feedback
“As our Senior Traffic and Project Manager, Allie immediately cleared blockers, pushed campaigns to hit deadlines, and improved cross-department communication while managing over 50 projects across a 20-person team.” - Christine G., Fractional CMO
“Allie brought clarity to complex, high-stakes projects. She kept cross-functional teams aligned, anticipated roadblocks, and ensured projects consistently met deadlines.” -Iman L., Fractional Client Success Director
“Allie is extremely reliable and detail-oriented, and she consistently takes initiative on projects without needing direction. She was a trusted part of our project management and regulatory support work.” -Colleen B., Enterprise SaaS VP in education
I’ve worked with startups, nonprofits, and education organizations, often managing dozens of active projects at the same time.

You can’t do everything. You started this business with a vision and you’re the reason it’s a success, but you’re also the reason it's stalled.
Because when there are no systems, every customer, every decision and every problem run through you.
You need a partner who can build these systems. Someone who can design lasting processes, create clear SOPs and implement technology that sticks.
Someone who is equal parts strategy and execution.
✅ I build systems and processes that transform the way your business operates.
My number one objective is to partner with you to shape and execute your vision. I do this through:
→ Commercial lifecycle management
→ Project leadership
→ Supplier and contractor coordination
→ Strategic thinking and planning
→ Process improvement and workflow automation
→ Software design and implementation
✅ Here’s what my clients are saying about me:
"I’d definitely recommend him - solid work, good communication, and someone you can rely on to get things done properly.”
“A very professional freelancer who adds real value - I wouldn’t hesitate to work with him again or recommend him to others."
“Working with Jordan has been a game changer for my business. He’s helped us to re-evaluate our priorities, what we invest our time in and prepare for scale. Couldn’t recommend him enough!”
Great businesses are built on great partnerships. Could this be yours?

If your team is talented but your systems are duct tape and spreadsheets, that's exactly where I come in.
I'm Clishe Larke, M.Ed., PMP, PSM I, Operations Strategist, AI Systems Consultant, and Founder of LC Business Services LLC. I work with small businesses, nonprofits, and founder-led organizations to build the operational foundation they need before adding automation, AI, or scale.
My work has been featured in WE Magazine for Women and the Leadership Loading Podcast for my Foundation First approach to AI-powered operational transformation.
My results speak for themselves:
→ 50% reduction in client onboarding time
→ 18+ hours saved per engagement through workflow automation
→ 689 tasks completed across 15 simultaneous projects
→ 100+ outreach emails per week enabled through strategic system setup
What I bring to every engagement:
Project Management (PMP + PSM I certified)
I manage end-to-end projects in both Agile and Waterfall environments, keeping scope tight, timelines moving, and stakeholders aligned. I've led multi-phase projects for state government agencies, nonprofit organizations, executive coaching firms, and private sector clients.
Operations & Workflow Design
I audit, map, and rebuild operational processes that create clarity and eliminate bottlenecks. My work includes SOP development, onboarding system redesigns, knowledge management infrastructure, and cross-functional coordination.
AI & Automation Implementation
I design intelligent workflows using Airtable, Make, n8n, Notion AI, and Power Automate. My Foundation First approach ensures automation is built on clean, well-documented processes, not layered on top of chaos.
Strategic Planning & Stakeholder Engagement
I've led Theory of Change workshops, facilitated strategic planning sessions for 12+ person leadership teams, authored 15-page stakeholder engagement reports, and designed monitoring and evaluation frameworks with SMART indicators and prototype dashboards.
Fractional Chief of Staff
For founders and executives who need more than a project manager, I serve as an embedded strategic operator translating priorities into plans, managing follow-through, coordinating stakeholders, and keeping key initiatives moving without close supervision.
Sectors served: small business · nonprofit · state government · professional services · executive coaching
Tools: Asana · ClickUp · Airtable · Notion · n8n · Make · Power Automate · Google Workspace · Jira · Confluence · SharePoint · QuickBooks · Loom · Scribe
My work is grounded in one belief: strategic operations and AI-ready systems built to last, not just launch.
I'm selective about the clients I take on because I'm committed to doing the work well. If you're ready to stop reacting and start operating strategically, let's talk.
