Steady Operations Retainer

Service Description

What This Is Some businesses do not need another plan. They need help keeping the work organized & moving week after week. This retainer provides ongoing support for the behind-the-scenes work that keeps programs, projects, & responsibilities from slipping through the cracks. This service focuses on follow-through, clarity, & reducing the mental load that comes with managing too many moving pieces at once. ⸻ What I Help With I support day-to-day operations so work runs smoothly & deadlines are not missed. This often includes: • Tracking active programs, projects, or ongoing work • Turning decisions into clear tasks and next steps • Monitoring deadlines, cycles, & recurring responsibilities • Keeping documents, trackers, & records organized • Coordinating with team members, contractors, or partners • Sending regular updates on progress and priorities • Noticing issues early and raising them before they become urgent The goal is simple: fewer dropped balls & less stress about what is happening behind the scenes. ⸻ How We Work This is steady, ongoing support, not last-minute help. • Responsibilities are defined at the start • One shared place is used to track work • We meet briefly on a regular schedule • I handle tracking, follow-up, and organization between check-ins I support organization and follow-through, not decision-making or people management. ⸻ What This Is Not This retainer does not include: • Building brand-new systems from scratch • Major tech setup or software changes • Managing staff, finances, or business decisions • On-call or emergency support Larger rebuilds are scoped separately. ⸻ This support offers the consistency of a part-time operations role without the long-term commitment or overhead of hiring & managing staff. ⸻ Retainer Options One Program – $1,100/month Keeps one clearly defined program organized & moving. Multi-Program – $1,800/month Supports 2 related programs or work areas with coordination & follow-through. Embedded Support – from $2,700/month Hands-on operational support for up to three programs with deeper involvement, more coordination, & ongoing ownership of operational continuity. All retainers are scoped before starting. ⸻ Ready to Get Started? If your work feels heavier than it needs to be, this support may help.
