Interim Operations Lead / Integrator (4-Week Contract — Starts Immediately)

⏱️ We are interviewing this week and the role starts within days of posting, July 6, 2026.

Company: TheFutureSociety — a profitable, founder-led startup approaching its one-year anniversary next month. We operate three brands: The Tarot Ship (291K YouTube subscribers), Great Awakener (premium livestream membership platform), and MAX: Your Virtual Oracle Gateway, the world's first predictive AI platform that integrates a user's birth chart — launched four weeks ago to immediate traction.

Who we are: A lean, remote team of five — ops/creative lead, engineer, partnerships manager, writer/researcher, and support. We're not a corporation with layers; we're a fast-moving startup that grew faster than its org chart. This role exists because our permanent fractional Head of Operations starts early August, and we need a senior operator to run the day-to-day between now and then. Your job is to hold the ship steady, tighten the systems, hand off clean — and protect the founder's time.

Engagement: Fractional, 20-25 hours/week. Fixed-term from immediate start through August 6, 2026. Hard stop — your final deliverable is a clean handoff package for our incoming permanent Head of Operations. Remote — US or Latin America.

Compensation: $6,000–$8,000 flat for the full engagement, paid weekly, final payment released on handoff delivery. 1099 contractor. NDA + IP assignment signed before any system access.

Reports to: Founder/CEO. The mandate is simple: the Founder steps fully out of operations for four weeks. You run it; he creates.

Responsibilities:

• Team oversight: Coordination, accountability across 6-person team; daily async check-ins with our contractors and vendors; overseeing campaigns and launch of membership perks program late July; weekly written status to the Founder; enforce documentation, logged work from everyone, especially any tech bugs/fixes

• Partnerships continuity: our Partnerships Manager is on reduced availability for three weeks; he's left a live pipeline doc (brand and talent) and sends updates twice weekly — you keep his active deals warm and moving, prepare and redline any necessary contracts; escalate decisions to the Founder only when needed

• Hiring: recruit and onboard (with our ops/creative lead) one combined Social Media Lead/Video Editor/Livestream Moderator using our established four-step hiring funnel; scope, shortlist a Meta Ads freelancer/agency for Founder decision

• Payroll and contractor payments on schedule (Gusto, ACH — all already set up)

• Protect recurring revenue operations: oversee the failed-payment recovery workstream, cancellation saves, and checkout integrity

• Handoff package: SOPs, contractor roster, open items, metrics baseline

You're right for this if: You've operated a subscription, membership, creator-economy, or DTC digital business; you've managed small distributed contractor teams; you're fluent in Stripe and email automation; you can start within 2-3 business days; you're OK to hop in on a weekend should anything arise; and you find a four-week "own everything, leave it better, hand off clean" sprint energizing rather than daunting.

• Process: ops/creative lead call → reference check → 30-minute Founder call → NDA/IP assignment → least-privilege access → start.
