I am looking for...

A Business Manager & Ads Operations Lead

(for a High-Revenue College Sports Romance Author)

 

I’m a full-time college sports romance author running a high-revenue indie publishing business, and I’m looking for a Business Manager & Ads Operations Lead to become my right-hand partner.

This is not a VA role.
This is a senior position for someone who loves romance novels, understands readers, thinks clearly with data, and brings a calm, positive, growth-oriented energy to the businesses they support.

​

About the Business

  • $30K–$40K/month in revenue

  • Significant monthly Facebook ad spend ($6K - $8K/month)

  • Established backlist with ongoing releases

  • Focused on sustainable growth, strong margins, and long-term stability

This business blends strategy + intuition, data + creativity, and numbers + mindset. I’m looking for someone who feels comfortable operating at that intersection.

​

About You

You may be a great fit if you:

  • Love romance novels and understand romance readers emotionally

  • Are both analytical and creative

  • Feel confident interpreting ad data and creating new ideas to test

  • Can look at numbers without spiraling or overreacting

  • Comfortable giving direction and making decisions

  • Enjoys organizing and prioritizing work across a small team

  • Communicates clearly, calmly, and respectfully

  • Values efficiency, clarity, and empowered teamwork

  • Believe performance dips are information, not emergencies

  • Enjoy responsibility, ownership, and decision-making

  • Are proactive, organized, and systems-oriented

  • Value positive mindset, intentional growth, and emotionally regulated work

You don’t need to practice manifestation in the same way I do — but you do need to respect mindset work, speak about growth in an empowered way, and operate from possibility rather than fear.

​

What You’ll Be Responsible For

Facebook Ads: Strategy, Creativity & Data

  • Day-to-day oversight of Facebook ads

  • Creating new ad concepts (angles, hooks, messaging, creative direction)

  • Collaborating on or drafting ad copy and creative ideas rooted in romance-reader psychology

  • Launching and testing new ads against existing winners

  • Monitoring key metrics (ROAS, CPA, CPM, CTR, frequency, fatigue)

  • Analyzing performance data to identify trends and opportunities

  • Making informed, calculated decisions about scaling, pausing, or iterating

  • Flagging issues early and proposing clear next steps

You don’t need to be a designer — but you do need creative instincts and the confidence to test ideas rather than wait for perfection.

 

Business Operations & Admin

  • Running launches behind the scenes

  • Managing platforms, links, uploads, dashboards, and systems

  • Ensuring nothing breaks without being noticed

  • Creating, refining, and documenting workflows and SOPs

  • Keeping the operational side of the business smooth, stable, and predictable

 

Strategic Support & Initiative

  • Bringing proactive ideas and insights (creative, operational, or analytical)

  • Making judgment calls within agreed boundaries

  • Communicating clearly about what the data is showing — without drama or fear

  • Supporting growth with logic, creativity, and grounded optimism

This role requires initiative, discernment, and trust.

 

Team Leadership & Delegation

  • Providing direction and priorities to two existing team members

  • Delegating tasks and workflows so high-level work stays high-level

  • Ensuring social media and admin tasks are aligned with launches and goals

  • Acting as a point of coordination (not micromanagement)

  • Creating clarity and structure so the team operates smoothly

This role is designed so you are leading and directing, not doing everything yourself.

 

How We’ll Work Together

I lead with:

  • Vision

  • Big-picture thinking

  • Intuition paired with strategy

You bring:

  • Operational excellence

  • Data clarity

  • Creative problem-solving

  • Calm, stabilizing energy

This is a collaborative, long-term partnership — not a task list.

​

What This Role Is Not

  • Not a task-only VA role

  • Not micromanaged

  • Not reactive or chaotic

  • Not short-term

 

Compensation

  • This is a senior, well-compensated role with pay aligned to experience, level of ownership, and impact.

  • The position includes a 90-day onboarding and alignment period, followed by a planned compensation review and increase based on demonstrated ownership, performance, and mutual fit.

  • Compensation is structured as a monthly retainer, with opportunities for performance-based bonuses over time.

  • This role is designed for someone seeking long-term stability, growth, and meaningful responsibility.

 

How to Apply

Please email to katy@katyarcher.com:

  1. A brief introduction about you and your background

  2. Your experience with Facebook ads, including any involvement in creating and testing new ads

  3. How you typically use data to make decisions

  4. How you stay grounded and positive when results fluctuate

  5. Your favorite romance authors, tropes, or subgenres — and what draws you to them

 

Final Note

I’m looking for someone who:

  • Thinks clearly and creatively

  • Respects both numbers and energy

  • Is excited to test ideas, read results, and iterate without fear

  • Wants to help build something meaningful, profitable, and sustainable

If you’re someone who enjoys responsibility, creative problem-solving, calm leadership, and long-term growth, I’d love to hear from you.
