Customer Operations Associate | A-Players

<p>A-Players is a fully remote company with a mission to help impact-driven companies succeed more than profit-driven ones.</p><p>We are hiring&nbsp;a<strong>&nbsp;Customer&nbsp;Operations&nbsp;Associate&nbsp;</strong>for&nbsp;one of our U.S.-based clients in the e-commerce and influencer marketing industry. This startup is rapidly scaling, and the CS team is transitioning from a fully manual support model to a hybrid <strong>product–automation, operations</strong> system.&nbsp;Currently, they are&nbsp;looking for a hyper-organized, systems-obsessed <strong>project manager</strong> to own and evolve the operational workflows behind our campaign launches.</p><p>This isn’t a typical coordination role—this is the person who will <strong>design, manage, and improve the end-to-end launch system</strong> that the startup's future software will ultimately automate.</p><p>You will map processes, spot inefficiencies, build automations, and partner closely with Product to ensure our internal workflows inform the evolution of our platform. Your job is to run today’s launch machine while helping architect the version that will eventually live inside the company's product.</p><p>If you’ve ever looked at a manual process and immediately thought, <em>“This should be automated—let me rebuild it the right way first,”</em> this role is for you.</p><h3>Key Responsibilities</h3><ul><li><p>Own the full lifecycle—from deadlines to dependencies to handoffs—and ensure each step runs predictably and on time.
