Fractional Operations & Automation Lead — Ongoing RetainerAhmad Rasheed
For companies that don't need (or can't afford) a full-time head of operations but absolutely need someone senior thinking about systems, automation, and process every week.
I embed with your team as a fractional operations lead — owning the operational backbone, driving automation initiatives, and freeing founders to focus on strategy and growth.
What you get:
Senior operations and automation leadership for 15-25 hours per week, including:
— Weekly operational reviews and prioritization with leadership
— Active ownership of project management, CRM, and automation systems
— New automation builds as needs emerge (no scope creep on hourly rate)
— Team training and process documentation as systems evolve
— Vendor management for SaaS tools
— Monthly operations report with metrics and recommendations
— Direct Slack or messaging access for time-sensitive needs
— Quarterly strategic review and roadmap update
Who this is for:
Founders of 10-50 person companies who need senior operations leadership but aren't ready for a $150K+ full-time hire. Best for businesses generating $1M-10M ARR where operational maturity is the next growth lever.
Process:
Month 1 — Audit, prioritization, immediate wins. Months 2-3 — System builds, automation, team enablement. Month 4+ — Ongoing operations leadership, optimization, and strategic input. Minimum 3-month commitment.
What's included: 15-25 hours per week of senior operations work, automation builds, team training, monthly reporting, quarterly strategy.
