About the job 

You will be the right hand to the founder of a fast-growing consulting firm that helps mid-market companies find and recover millions in preventable workforce costs. You will free him from everything that is not a revenue-generating
conversation.

This is not a task-taker role. You will own entire systems and run them without being managed. If something breaks, you surface it. If something can be done better, you suggest it. You work directly with the founder daily. We want someone who brings their own ideas, acts proactively, and takes ownership without waiting to be told. 

Schedule:

• Monday to Friday, Flexible from 5:00 AM to 5:00 PM Chicago, Central Time (8 hours per day / 40 hours per week), with overlap during 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM Central Time

Independent Contractor Perks:

• Permanent work from home
• Immediate hiring
• Health Insurance Coverage for eligible locations

What You Own:

• Google Drive: organized, maintained, always current
• Client engagement tracking: maintain a living tracker from first prospect conversation through delivery milestones, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks. Includes vendor and partner coordination: schedule calls, send follow-up emails, and track deliverables with partners. Ideal if you have a tool you have used.
• CRM management: all contacts loaded, tagged, action items tracked, pre-meeting briefs prepared
• Social media program: own the full content pipeline across LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Draft posts in the founder's voice, edit short-form video in CapCut, Google Vids, or similar, schedule and publish and track performance weekly
• Sales decks: research prospects, build tailored pitch decks in Google Slides, Gamma, or Canva for each target company
• Website updates: Hosted with Hostinger (basic HTML using Claude, if you can use Claude you can do this.)
• Meeting prep and follow-up: prepare agendas before calls, capture notes and action items after, update CRM and tracker same day

Soft Skills:
