Back office & operations

The administrative engine — process, coordination and throughput.

What it covers

Operations is the work that has to happen every day for the business to function, and the first thing to break when a company grows. It is also the discipline where a well-documented process and a reliable person produce results almost immediately.

What they do

  • Process orders, bookings and intake forms
  • Handle support tickets and customer email
  • Data entry, cleanup and migration between systems
  • Scheduling, dispatch and calendar coordination
  • Supplier and vendor coordination
  • Maintain documentation and SOPs
  • Build and circulate routine reports

Titles we hire for

  • Customer Support Representative
  • Back Office Coordinator
  • Data Entry Specialist
  • Operations Manager
  • Administrative Assistant
  • Supply Chain Coordinator

Working remotely

Reactive work needs overlapping hours

Most operations work is reactive — a ticket arrives, an order needs processing, a customer is waiting. That makes it the discipline where an overnight handoff hurts most, and where the seven-to-nine hours of overlap Latin America gives you is doing real work rather than being a nice line on a page.

Working hours, not time zones

7–9 hours of overlap with a 9–6 New York day

Overlap Their day, outside yours
  • Mexico City 8h
  • Bogotá 9h
  • Lima 9h
  • Santiago 8h
  • Buenos Aires 7h
  • São Paulo 7h
6am 9am 12pm 3pm 6pm

Each bar is that city's own 9am–6pm, placed on New York time. Based on standard UTC offsets; daylight saving shifts some rows by an hour.

Choosing a level

Which level do you actually need?

The same three rates apply across every discipline. What changes is how much judgement the work needs.

  1. Entry $7–10/hr

    Following a documented process reliably and at volume. Strongest fit when your SOPs already exist.

  2. Mid $11–15/hr

    Running the process and improving it — spotting what is slow and fixing it.

  3. Expert $16+/hr

    Owning operations: designing the process, managing others inside it.

Guidance, not a quote — the level is agreed on the call. Full pricing

Before the call

What to have ready.

The search starts on the discovery call. These four answers are what make it a good one.

  1. 01 The systems they will live in day to day
  2. 02 Whether SOPs exist, or whether they will be writing them
  3. 03 Volume — tickets, orders or records per day
  4. 04 The hours you need covered, and whether weekends are in scope
