STATUS: OPEN — FULL-TIME & FRACTIONAL

Built an agentic platform that took a 40-person contractor operation down to a fraction of the headcount — and lifted margin by 25 points.

Director of Business & Agentic Operations. I build the systems that let operations run themselves, then run them.

Track record

Three systems, one pattern.

Find where coordination costs more than the work itself. Automate the coordination. Keep the judgment.

Operations

Agentic operations platform

SituationA contractor-heavy delivery operation ran on manual coordination — high headcount, slow to scale, margin under constant pressure.
InsightThe bottleneck wasn't the delivery work. It was the coordination wrapped around it.
BuiltAn agentic project-management platform that took over triage, coordination, and routing across the contractor pool.
Outcome+25 percentage points of gross margin.
Personal systems

Personal life assistant

SituationEmail, messages, calendar, and health data all needed attention, and none of it was triaged.
InsightThe problem was never volume. It was untriaged information demanding equal attention.
BuiltA personal assistant that turns everything incoming into to-dos and a daily digest, with voice-note capture for "note to self" moments.
OutcomeOne digest replaces constant app-switching.
Job search

Job application matching tool

SituationA high-volume, multi-track job search needed to stay sharp without turning into generic mass-applying.
InsightMatching a profile to a role is a data problem before it's a writing problem.
BuiltA tool that scores role fit as a suitability heatmap, tailors the cover letter, and drafts outreach in his own voice.
OutcomeTargeted, fast applications at volume.
How we work together

Two modes. Same approach.

Whichever fits, the method doesn't change — find the coordination cost, automate it, keep the judgment.

Ask directly

A live system, not a static page.

This runs on the same idea as the work above — ask it anything about hiring me, full-time or fractional.

ask@hiresam.uk — session live
sam › Ask me anything about the work above, full-time availability, or how Føre engagements work. I'll answer plainly — if I don't know, I'll say so.
