Creative founder seeks someone with an operations or project-management background to provide executive-function support. This is delivered through structured Zoom sessions of 1–2 hours, totalling 4 hours a week. It's not a traditional VA/admin or delivery role.
What the role involves
- Helping keep multiple workstreams in view, so nothing important drops out of sight and longer-term dependencies stay on the agenda alongside immediate deadlines
- Helping prioritise competing tasks and agree clear next actions, and holding client to previously agreed priorities
- Helping identify blockers and dependencies across technical, creative and other workflows, using structured questions that break a complex or overwhelming situation down into manageable next steps
- Making sure client's scheduled monthly review of cashflow, upcoming income and pipeline actually happens, and prompting if it slips. Client carries out the review and interprets the position.
- Revisiting previously agreed follow-ups each session, and prompting client to act when something has stalled, gone quiet or needs a response
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Background and skills
- Experience in operations, project management, startups, SMEs or digital agencies
- Comfortable working with founders and directors across several competing workstreams. Familiarity with live events, social media or long-form video production is a plus — it means less time spent setting context at the start of each session.
- Strong structured questioning: able to get to grips with an unfamiliar technical or creative workflow quickly enough to help identify what's actually blocking progress
- Able to help structure prioritisation around what matters now versus what can wait
- Experience supporting neurodivergent professionals is useful but not essential. The key requirement is a strong operations/project-management mindset.
- The right person is someone who can apply an operations and project-management way of working to a prompting and accountability role: structure, consistency and follow-through, so client can carry out their own responsibilities effectively.
