Senior AI Operations Specialist

Gunia Consulting is a Swiss-based embedded recruiting and hiring-systems consultancy. One senior partner. Modern stack.

We're building the AI-native version of this company — and we're hiring an operator to own the agent layer with us. Sourcing, outbound, content, screening, reporting. The infrastructure that lets one senior partner run a five-person firm's output.

This is a long-term fractional engagement, opening with a defined 3-month build sprint. Real partnership if the sprint goes well. Clean exit if not. Fully remote. Any location.

Stage 1 — Build sprint

What you'll ship:

• Sourcing workflow end-to-end: Clay + Apollo + LinkedIn Premium + Instantly + Manatal
• AI sourcing agent
• Make migration from Zapier — full Clay → Instantly → Manatal flow
• BD pipeline CRM workflow
• Internal dashboards: outbound performance, candidate flow, pipeline visibility
• Documentation clean enough to operate solo

End of Stage 1: working trial review. Both sides decide whether to continue.

Stage 2 — Operations + extension

If the sprint goes well, we continue the work.

• Stack maintenance and integration fixes
• Performance tuning (outbound, scoring, ICP)
• Documentation updates
• Monthly working sessions and roadmap
• New agent builds (each scoped as its own short project)

Tools you'll be potentially working with

n8n · Make · Clay · Instantly · Apollo · Manatal · LinkedIn Premium · Claude (Agent SDK or workflow integration) · HubSpot · Webhooks · Python or JS where needed.

You don't need to be expert in all of them. You need to be familiar with most of them and able to figure out the rest fast.

Who you are

• You've built end-to-end RevOps, sourcing, or marketing automation workflows for at least one other company.
• You know the difference between "I've used Zapier" and "I've shipped an agent stack that another human now operates."
• You can pair with a non-engineer founder, document everything, and hand it over without breaking it.
• You write clear English and communicate proactively.
• You're comfortable working async-first — short daily Looms, written briefs, etc. Anywhere in the world is fine if that overlap works for you.
• You're a builder, not a consultant. You like sharp briefs, fast iteration, and real autonomy.
• You're looking for durable, compounding work — not a one-off gig.

Who you're not

• Not someone who needs a fully-specced ticket to ship work
• Not a HubSpot configurator whose portfolio is 30 small-business CRM setups
• Not an agency presenting a team — we're hiring one human
• Not a junior looking to learn on our budget
• Not someone who wants to bill 40 hours/week from day one — this is fractional by design

How to apply

We're optimizing for signal, not volume. Don't send a CV. Don't send a cover letter. Send these five things:

1. A 90-second Loom (or screen recording) walking us through one automation or agent you personally built. Show the actual build. Talk through what was hard and what you decided.
2. Two links or screenshots of live workflows you've built — n8n, Make, Clay, agent stack, whatever's most representative.
3. A 200-word answer to this: "LinkedIn Recruiter expires for us. How would you architect the first 30 days of replacement, and what's the first thing you'd build?"
4. Stack fluency self-rating (1–5) on each: n8n · Make · Clay · Instantly · Apollo · Manatal · Claude Agent SDK · LinkedIn Sales Navigator · Webhooks · Python or JS
5. Hourly or monthly rate (USD), timezone, earliest start date.
