Running and growing a business can be as exciting as exhausting, specially when things don't go to plan. Let’s be honest, it can also feel like spinning plates, specially in the current VUCA (Volatile. Uncertain. Complex. Ambiguous) environment where things change all the time, and you need to change or are in risk to be left behind. And the more your business grows, the more is the risk that your time gets eaten up by working on the business.
As an fractional Business Operations Manager, my role is simple: I create the structure, systems, and support your business needs so you can focus on the high-value work that moves the needle.
Here are just a few ways I help founders and directors of purpose-led businesses free up their time and keep operations running smoothly:
1. Keeping projects on track (without you having to chase everyone)
From launches to client/team members onboarding, I make sure your projects run on time and on budget. I’ll map out the plan, assign tasks, keep deadlines moving, and spot issues before they become problems. You get the confidence that everything’s handled — without needing to micromanage.
2. Creating systems and SOPs that actually stick + Working with your team
Scaling isn’t just about doing more — it’s about doing things smarter, more efficiently and at a high standard. If you’ve grown to the point where your team is growing, you’ve probably realised that you need clear and strong systems and processes for everyone to work consistently, and that managing people can quickly become a very time consuming job.
I can step in as the point of contact, support recruitment management, onboarding, communication, training, and accountability so your team is aligned and motivated. Instead of juggling 10 conversations at once, you get one clear update.
I’ll also work with your team to understand how they work and create and document processes, streamline workflows, and set up templates and automations so your business runs like clockwork. That means fewer errors, less wasted time, and more consistency across your services.
3. Being your strategic right hand
Every founder, CEO or Director needs someone they can bounce ideas off who also understands the big picture. I’ll help you identify gaps, streamline systems, and create strategies that connect your goals with practical actions. Think of it as having a business partner who’s fully invested in making things work behind the scenes.
The bottom line
The right support doesn’t just save you time — it gives you headspace. With me in your corner, you can focus on strategy, growth, and the parts of the business that only you can do.
