<p>Interview fractional leaders this week for <strong>free</strong>!</p>

batch.ai

We run two connected businesses serving photographers and creative professionals:

- **batch.ai** — a Lightroom plugin SaaS ("the plugin") that automates photo editing workflows for working photographers.
- **Hawkins.png** — a professional photo editing service ("the editors") serving photographers who want editing done for them.

Both businesses share a customer base (working photographers) and have previously generated combined revenue near $60K/month. Revenue has declined from that peak due to founder bandwidth, not product or market failure — the opportunity is real and largely about re-activation, retention, and consistent execution.

## Fractional Growth Operator — Photography SaaS + Editing Service

**Compensation:** $2,000–$2,500/month base + performance bonus | Remote | Ongoing, starts with a paid 30-day trial

### The Role

Own growth day-to-day — not just execute tasks, but run the businesses' marketing and retention like they're yours. You'll report weekly with numbers, not status updates.

### What You'll Own

- Content creation and posting (primarily Instagram — short-form before/after and educational content)
- Email marketing (Kit/ConvertKit) — sequences, campaigns, win-back flows
- DM automation funnel management (ManyChat/CreatorFlow)
- Churn reduction and customer win-back campaigns
- Storefront optimization (Payhip) — page copy, pricing, cross-sell/upsell setup
- Testing and scaling 1–2 new growth channels (affiliate/referral, SEO, influencer partnerships)
- Weekly reporting: MRR, new signups/trials, churn, and what moved the numbers

### What We Need From You

- Prior experience growing a SaaS product, e-commerce brand, or service business — bonus points for the photography/creative-tools space
- Comfortable creating short-form video content yourself (filming, light editing, no need for a full production setup)
- Data-literate — you check the numbers before you decide what to do next
- Self-directed — we're hiring you to stop needing us, not to wait for instructions
- Familiarity with (or fast to learn): Payhip, ConvertKit/Kit, ManyChat/CreatorFlow, Instagram content tools
- **Working knowledge of Adobe Lightroom Classic strongly preferred** — you should understand presets, plugin workflows, and what a photographer's editing pain points actually are, since you'll be creating content and messaging around them
- Any experience in or adjacent to the photography industry is a big plus — working photographer, photo editor, camera gear reviewer, photography YouTuber/influencer, or someone who's marketed to photographers before

### Compensation Structure

- **Base:** $2,000–$2,500/month
- **Performance bonus:** tied to net-new MRR growth above an agreed baseline (structure discussed with finalists) — this is designed to be uncapped upside as revenue climbs back toward $60K/month
- **Trial period:** first 30 days paid at the same rate, scoped to a specific, measurable goal — this functions as a mutual working trial before any longer commitment

### Benefits

- Work from home
- Flexible schedule

### Work Arrangement

How to apply

This role starts with a short **paid screening task** (not a resume review) — see the attached brief. If you're interested, reply with:

- Two or three past results with real numbers (MRR growth, churn reduction, campaign performance — whatever you've got)
- A link to any content you've personally created (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube) — we care more about your actual output than a portfolio site
- Availability to complete the paid screening task within 5 days

Pay: $51,239.59 - $61,707.89 per year

Benefits:

- Flexible schedule
- Work from home
