Initial Projects

Create workflows that collect customer requirements, prepare quotation drafts for approval, send appropriate follow up communications and help businesses improve their sales processes.

3. Business Operations Automation

Develop solutions that connect existing business applications and automate repetitive administrative tasks, including scheduling, customer communications, data entry and invoicing.

What We Offer

  • Fully remote working within the UK.
  • Flexible freelance arrangements with competitive project based remuneration.
  • Opportunities for regular ongoing work as the company develops its client base.
  • Performance related bonuses and potential profit sharing arrangements, subject to agreed terms and business performance.
  • Opportunity to purchase an ownership stake in the company in the future, subject to mutual agreement, company valuation and applicable legal requirements.

  • Direct involvement in developing the company’s technical strategy, services and future direction.
  • The opportunity to contribute to a growing technology business from its early stages.
  • Potential for increased financial rewards and responsibility as the company achieves its growth objectives.

Profit Sharing and Future Ownership Opportunities

We believe that individuals who make a meaningful contribution to the success of a business should have the opportunity to benefit from its growth.

As the company develops, we intend to explore performance related profit sharing arrangements for individuals who demonstrate strong technical ability, reliability and a commitment to the company’s long term success.

For the right individual, there may also be an opportunity to purchase a minority ownership stake in the business, allowing them to participate more directly in its future development.

Any profit sharing or equity arrangements would be discussed individually and subject to mutually agreed terms. These opportunities are not guaranteed as part of the initial freelance engagement.

We are particularly interested in candidates who see the potential to develop a long term career or business relationship rather than simply completing individual projects.

The Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who is technically capable, commercially aware, ambitious and genuinely interested in developing practical automation solutions that businesses will pay for.

The ideal candidate will be comfortable taking responsibility for technical projects, suggesting improvements and helping identify opportunities where AI and automation can provide measurable value.

We value reliability, clear communication, initiative and the ability to deliver high quality work.

Previous experience working directly with business clients would be particularly beneficial.

An entrepreneurial mindset would also be an advantage, particularly for someone interested in helping develop the business over the longer term.
