Full-time remote.
Egypt-based.
English-fluent.
CET timezone aligned.
$1,350 USD/month starting, with performance-gated step-ups.
About us Drop Zero Digital is a small lifecycle email marketing agency.
Founder-led, fast-moving, allergic to meetings about meetings.
We work with ecommerce brands on Klaviyo.
The role This is the internal-facing operations seat.
You support the founder + scale our hiring + own the operational infrastructure that keeps DZD running.
Specifically, four lanes: Hiring operations + people support.
Coordinating the hiring pipeline, scheduling, internal communication, ATS hygiene.
Tom assistant + EA.
Inbox triage, calendar management, prep docs, follow-up reminders, scheduling.
Operations infrastructure.
SOP drafting, process docs, internal organisation, Notion/Drive maintenance.
Cross-cover.
Backstop on internal handoff hygiene when the project manager is heads-down on client work.
Weekly load shifts between lanes.
Some weeks you're tracking 30 candidates, others you're rebuilding the onboarding doc from scratch.
You triage your own time.
Who we're looking for Read this list and think "yes, that's me.
" If you think "I could grow into that," this isn't the right role yet.
Accountable.
You show up, own misses in present-tense process change, close loops in the right channel by stated deadline.
You don't externalise problems onto tools, briefs, or other people.
Strong written English.
Business English to a professional standard, written and spoken.
Async-first business — your written shape matters more than your spoken charisma.
Egyptian candidates: professional English is a hard requirement.
Arabic is a bonus, not a substitute.
Warm: hungry, positive, growth-oriented.
Energy points up.
You want to do more.
You ask 10-20 questions a day in week 1 because you want to understand the work, not because you're confused.
Organisation + judgment under ambiguity.
You hold multiple threads simultaneously without dropping any.
You make good calls when context is incomplete instead of waiting for perfect briefs.
Long-term commitment.
You see this as a 2+ year career home, not a 6-month bridge.
FT only, no side-hustle ambiguity, no "I'll see how it goes" hedging.
What this is NOT NOT a client-facing role.
You won't manage client relationships or strategy.
NOT a marketing strategy role.
We have specialists.
NOT a 9-to-5 with predictable workload.
Heavy weeks happen.
NOT for people who need clear processes already in place.
You'll help BUILD the SOPs.
NOT for people who treat ops work as a stepping-stone to real work elsewhere.
NOT for people who can't operate without micromanagement.
Compensation Starting: $1,350/month USD.
Performance-gated step-ups baked in: $1,600/month at Day 90 if probation passes $1,900/month at 12-month milestone if sustained performance Senior-tier raises Year 2+ subject to sustained multi-lane operation + scope expansion The $1,350 starting rate reflects the seniority of this role at DZD.
The trajectory is real, but expect to start at $1,350 and earn the step-ups.
