Now Hiring

Build Something That Matters.

STBL Strategies is a small, senior-led brand infrastructure firm. When we hire, we hire deliberately. This is one of those moments.

Open Position

One Role. Real Work.

We are not filling seats. We are looking for someone who wants to be part of building something serious and wants to do work that reflects that.

Part-Time Wichita, KS Hybrid W-2 $18 - $24 / hr

Operations Associate

STBL Strategies  |  15 to 25 hours per week

About the Role

We are hiring an Operations Associate to work directly with the founder to automate and optimize the systems that run STBL Strategies. Primary focus areas are our Zoho ecosystem and web platform, with growth into AI-driven SEO, SEM, and social media optimization.

This is a structured apprenticeship as much as it is a job. The founder will lead each project step by step, define the scope, and review work at defined checkpoints. You will use AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, and similar) as your primary technical lever, with direct guidance on how to use them well.

What You Will Work On

Projects are assigned one at a time with clear scope and success criteria. Focus areas include:

  • Zoho automation and optimization: improving how Zoho CRM, Books, and connected modules work together; streamlining workflows; reducing manual steps
  • Website platform optimization: improving site performance, structure, and back-end efficiency
  • AI-driven SEO and SEM: using AI tools to research, plan, and execute search optimization and paid search work
  • AI-driven social media: content planning, scheduling, trend analysis, and performance reporting
  • New store and platform builds: supporting back-end setup, configuration, and integration work
  • Process documentation: every project ships with documentation that captures what was built, how it works, and how to maintain it

What We Are Looking For

Required

  • Strong written communication and documentation habits
  • Comfortable in spreadsheets and able to learn new software platforms quickly
  • Active user of AI tools (Claude, ChatGPT, or similar) for work tasks
  • Detail orientation: you would rather get it right than get it fast
  • Receptive to direction, feedback, and structured project work
  • Reliable, organized, and able to manage your own time within defined hours

Helpful but Not Required

  • Basic understanding of APIs, databases, or e-commerce platforms
  • Prior experience with Zoho, HubSpot, Salesforce, or similar CRM platforms
  • Familiarity with Make, Zapier, n8n, or other automation tools
  • Background in operations, administration, marketing coordination, or project management
  • Coursework or self-study in business operations, information systems, or related fields

How We Work

  • 15 to 25 hours per week, schedule built around your availability and ours
  • Hybrid: some in-person work in Wichita, some remote
  • Direct working relationship with the founder: no layers, no committees
  • Clear projects, written briefs, defined checkpoints
  • Performance reviewed at 30, 60, and 90 days against named outcomes
  • Strong performers will have the opportunity to expand scope, hours, and responsibility over time

How to Apply

Send the following to koell@stblstrategies.com. We are not looking for polished cover letters. We are looking for clear thinking and honest communication.

  • A brief note (no more than one page) describing why this role interests you and one specific example of a time you used an AI tool to solve a real problem
  • A resume or LinkedIn profile
  • Optional: any documentation, process write-up, or work sample that demonstrates how you think and write
