Marilit I.

Project Manager | ClickUp | Agency Operations Delivery & Systems

A founder I work with took a 3-week vacation, turned off their phone, and the business ran flawlessly. The team didn't panic because they trusted the operational systems I built. If your business can't survive you stepping away, you don't own a company but you own a high-stress job. I act as a Fractional COO and Systems Architect for fast-moving founders. Over the last 5+ years, I’ve delivered $150K+ in operational strategy for SaaS (adtech/martech/healthtech), digital agencies, agile setups, and ISO 27001 environments. I don't build flashy, over-engineered software that your team will abandon. I configure platforms like ClickUp and Teamwork around human behavior, ensuring a 99%+ adoption rate so you can scale without micromanaging. 🟡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘇𝗲 𝗶𝗻? ⦿ Fractional COO & Systems Architecture: I diagnose operational bottlenecks, untangle human chaos, and fix broken setups so your team can progress unblocked. ⦿ Tech Stack Optimization: Expert in ClickUp, Teamwork Projects, and advanced automations across operations, marketing, sales, delivery, and client success. ⦿ Chaos to Clarity: I scale companies from 3-person friction to 15+ team clarity without chasing updates or micromanaging. ⦿ Tool Consolidation: I sweep through messy workflows and build centralized, trackable systems that teams actually use daily. 🟢 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗪𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲: I offer two flexible engagement models depending on your business needs: 1. Fixed-Price, Milestone-Based (Detailed SoW): Perfect for structured builds like full implementations. 2. Hourly Consulting / Monthly Retainer: Ongoing operational audits, workflow iteration, and continuous optimization. Most clients start with a fixed project and transition into a monthly retainer for ongoing audits, which consistently drives a 15–25% increase in team efficiency quarter-over-quarter. Message me for a tailored quote. I will scope your project precisely as an extension of your team. 🟡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿? ⦿ Save 300+ hours/year by wiping out manual admin with smart automation. ⦿ Cut missed deadlines by 95% with total task visibility and clear assignments. ⦿ Achieve 99%+ team adoption through intuitive, no-fluff system designs. ⦿ Reduce task handoff delays by 90% using standardized SOP templates. ⦿ Consolidate fragmented tools (Notion, Slack, Sheets) into a single, cohesive ecosystem. ⦿ Free up the founder's mind to focus entirely on growth, not Slack mode. 🟡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀 𝗱𝗼 𝗜 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱? ⦿ ClickUp Architectures: Workspaces, spaces, folders, lists, custom statuses, automations, and executive dashboards. ⦿ Teamwork Projects & Desk: End-to-end ecosystems engineered for delivery-heavy client services. ⦿ SOP Libraries: Practical documentation and templates for onboarding, campaigns, and fulfillment. ⦿ AI-Enhanced Workflows: Integrating ChatGPT+, Zapier, Make, and n8n for hyper-efficient task flow. ⦿ CRMs & Marketing Funnels: GoHighLevel (GHL), HubSpot, Kajabi, and Mailchimp integrations. 🟡 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 𝗵𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗺𝗲? ⦿ "The reason we could finally scale our operations without breaking." ⦿ Unique blend of high-level strategic systems thinking and tactical technical execution. ⦿ High autonomy. I deliver results independently with structured weekly updates. ⦿ Founder-aligned: My ultimate goal is to keep you in strategy mode, not panic mode. 🟡 𝗜𝘀 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗬𝗼𝘂? 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗪𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗮 𝗙𝗶𝘁: ⦿ You are an agile startup or digital agency desperate for clean operating systems. ⦿ You are a founder buried under endless chat threads, notifications, and overdue tasks. ⦿ Your team has a half-used system setup that feels more like a graveyard than a tool. ⦿ You are tired of duct-taping software together and want to scale intelligently. 🟡 𝗠𝘆 𝗕𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱: ⦿ Operations Management Degree (Cum Laude). ⦿ Former Emirates Cabin Crew: Built for extreme precision, calm under pressure, and elite global communication. ⦿ Trusted by High-Profile Figures: Partnered operationally with a Hollywood actor, a testament to strict discretion and execution. ⦿ Serial Entrepreneur: Launched my first business at 17, scaling it 20x during the pandemic across hybrid e-commerce, retail, and service channels. 🟡 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗻𝗲𝘅𝘁? Start with an Ops Audit & Get Your System Blueprint Let’s review your current workflow, target exactly what is slowing your delivery down, and sketch out the operational structure your team should be running on. If it’s a great fit, we can move forward with the full build. My mission is your resolution. Let's talk soon!
