We’re a fast-growing SEO and link-building agency working with international clients across competitive niches. We run lean, move fast, and obsess over execution. Systems, accountability, and measurable output matter here.

We’re looking for a highly organized, systems-driven Operations Manager to take ownership of day-to-day delivery, build scalable processes, and ensure our team hits KPIs consistently.

Run weekly performance reviews with tea ---------- mbers

Team Management

Manage and coordinate VAs and outreach/link building staff

Background in scaling small teams

What Success Looks Like in 90 Days

Clean ClickUp system with dashboards for every key metric

Clear SOPs for outreach, sourcing, QA, and fulfillment

Team hitting defined KPIs consistently

Founder no longer chasing tasks or firefighting

Predictable, scalable delivery engine in place
