Agency context

Built for agency work, not generic remote hiring.

Marketing operations in an agency is the layer that makes reporting, workflows, handoffs, and accountability repeatable. Nearshore overlap matters because the operator has to work with the team while the work is happening.

Working-call vetting
  • A workflow-mapping exercise across reporting, client updates, and delivery handoffs.
  • Tool fluency across Airtable, Zapier or n8n, spreadsheets, dashboards, and project boards.
  • AI judgment test for turning messy process notes into a usable SOP.
AI month one
  • Reporting-automation drafts using n8n, Zapier, sheets, and dashboard exports.
  • SOP generation for recurring agency workflows.
  • Process-risk notes when handoffs or data inputs break.

Every placement includes 4 live 1-on-1 AI instructor sessions in the first four weeks post-placement.

// Not for
  • You need finance or HR operations.
  • You want tools configured without an operator owning the rhythm.
