KajabiProject ManagementSystem AutomationSystem Configuration
Systems & Client Journey Architect for a Philosophical Coaching Practice
Remote | Contractor | 5–15 hours/week (on higher end during initial build phase)
About the Work
I’m Danielle LaSusa, Ph.D., a philosophical coach and writer who helps high-achieving women find meaning and identity outside of their accomplishments. My work centers on insight, deep reflection, education, and transformation.
To do that well, I need a grounded, strategic partner who can design and manage the systems that hold the business.
This is not just about organization. It’s about building a thoughtful, functional infrastructure that supports real human transformation.
This is a long-term, collaborative role. As the business grows, this position may evolve into a more senior operational leadership role.
About You
You’ll thrive in this role if you:
- Love turning complex, messy ideas into clean, functional systems
- Think in workflows, not just tasks
- Are both strategic and hands-on—you can design and build
- Enjoy supporting a visionary who works quickly and thinks deeply
- Take initiative and propose solutions (not just wait for direction)
- Care about the client experience, not just backend efficiency
- Are calm, organized, and reliable in the face of moving parts
- Feel comfortable working behind the scenes to make something meaningful run well
- You take quiet pride in creating systems that hold things together—and you understand that good operations can feel almost invisible when they’re working well.
