About Taikun
Were a fast-growing, fully remote performance marketing agency, and weve outgrown the way we run. We run a lot through the founder. Decisions, priorities, and the operating rhythm all route back to the top. That worked for 30 people. It will not work at 100.
Were hiring the person who owns the operating model and gets the company off founder-led ops. This is not a project management role. Its the person who builds the structure that lets a 30-person agency become a 100-person one without losing speed. Youll work across Paid Search, Paid Social, Creative, Client Services, and internal ops. Youll manage a team of Operations Coordinators and Project Managers. Youll set an operational strategy with leadership instead of waiting to be handed it.
The core charge
Reduce founder dependency. Build the systems, the accountability, and the operating cadence that let us scale output without scaling chaos. Decide what gets standardized and what stays loose. Make the call, then build it.

What we need

• 5+ years in performance marketing operations , business ops, systems, process work.
• You personally owned the operational build through a 20-40 to 70-100+ scale. You can name the systems and structural calls that were yours, what broke, and what youd do differently.
• You can explain what works, why it works, and when the process hurts speed. Were hiring for judgment over pattern matching.
• Proof on AI: walk us through 2 to 3 AI or automation systems you put into production, the adoption you drove across a team, and one that failed and why
• You stay current on AI tooling because you want to, not because a posting told you to
• Fluent in ClickUp, plus Asana, Notion, Airtable, Zapier, Make, or similar
• Youve managed and grown junior operators
• You operate autonomously and move initiatives without oversight
• You change how teams work without relying on a reporting line
• Agency, consulting, or fast-paced service business background is a plus. We care more about how you think than where youve been.

This isnt for you if

You need a playbook handed to you
Your scaling experience meant riding alongside someone elses calls
Youre more comfortable executing direction than setting it
You build process for its own sake
