Right Side Up is a collective of premium marketing talent, with all of the marketing chops, and none of the agency fluff. We're trusted by the most respected early-stage ventures, the fastest-growing tech companies, and well-established Fortune 500 teams to do one thing better: growth. We have over 1,400+ clients including Stitch Fix, Sephora, Yelp, Sun Basket, Crunchbase, DoorDash, Calm, and more. ## About the Role We're seeking freelance operations-minded builders who pair process design with hands-on AI and app-building skills to help our clients replace ad hoc tools and manual workflows with durable, scalable systems. This role sits at the intersection of operations strategy and full-stack building: someone equally comfortable mapping a messy current-state workflow and shipping the tool that replaces it. Contract projects typically run fifteen to twenty hours per week, staffed against a prioritized backlog and shipped in roughly two-week increments. ## Responsibilities - Partner with the client's product and operations lead to prioritize a backlog of process and systems projects, shipping in roughly two-week increments. - Map current-state workflows and redesign them into documented, scalable future-state processes. - Build AI-enabled systems and workflows to support functions like materials logistics, inventory, and fulfillment. - Build new apps and internal tools using Supabase, Vercel, and similar modern stacks. - Replace legacy or no-code tooling with durable, secure, permissioned solutions. - Document and roll out new processes and tools so internal teams can adopt and maintain them independently. ## Requirements - 5+ years of experience, operator who can own a backlog of projects with light day-to-day oversight. - Strong experience mapping and redesigning operational workflows for lean, fast-scaling teams, from process discovery through documented, future-state SOPs. - Full-stack builder comfortable shipping lightweight internal tools end to end, ideally on Supabase and Vercel. - Track record replacing ad hoc or no-code tooling (Glide, spreadsheets, manual trackers) with durable, scalable systems. - Broad LLM fluency; comfortable working across model platforms rather than being tied to one. Tools & Platforms - Supabase and Vercel for full-stack app builds. - Claude and other frontier LLM platforms; no single-platform dependency required. - Experience migrating teams off no-code tools onto durable systems. - Comfortable building and maintaining process documentation and SOPs. ## Why Right Side Up Join a team that values expertise, flexibility, and meaningful work with some of the most innovative brands in the world.
