AI Operations Manager


Job Title: AI Operations Manager (Virtual Assistant)
Type: Part-time (paid trial) → Full-time
Location: Remote (Global) · Philippine business hours
Pay: From $1,000+/month at full-time, plus performance bonus
Direct AI to do the work of an entire creative team
We're a boutique luxury marketing agency in Los Angeles (NakadaDesign.com) serving high-end brands. We're hiring one exceptional, self-directed person to become our AI Operations Manager — someone who directs AI (Claude) to produce content, copy and creative at a high standard, and owns the quality of everything that ships. This is a business role, not a personal-assistant role. You won't do manual grunt work; you'll run the machine: tell AI what "great" looks like, catch what's wrong, and ship polished work for us and our clients. We're on the cutting edge — you won't create by hand, you'll direct AI to create, in line with our guidelines and high standards.
Compensation
We start with a paid part-time trial (about 20 hours per week) and move the right person to full-time within 4–8 weeks, starting at $1,000+/month plus a performance bonus. We pay more for people who prove they're exceptional.
