Own and rebuild our HubSpot setup→ the system needs fixing first
Create reporting leadership can trust→ the data underneath it doesn't exist yet
Improve handoff from sales to onboarding→ nobody owns this today
Start date: ASAP→ realistically, 3 months away
Fractional marketing operations · HubSpot
Your next ops hire walks into a system that already works.
You've posted the role. Hiring takes three months and ramping takes three more. I fix the HubSpot setup now, help you pick the right person, and hand them a working system on day one.
The hire is the right answer. It's just slow. Here's the same six months, two ways. Hover or drag across the chart to move through time.

Hiring alone: three months recruiting, three months ramping, productive at month six. With Stylus Ops: diagnostic in week one, system live by week six, hire starts at month three and is productive from week one.

Why companies call me
Posting the advert creates three new problems
01 · The gap
The problem keeps costing money
Leads still fall through. Reporting is still wrong. Six months of it while you hire and ramp.
02 · The mis-hire
You can't test what they know
Most hiring managers can't tell a HubSpot expert from a good interviewer. A bad hire costs a year.
03 · The mess
They inherit a broken system
The new hire spends their first quarter cleaning instead of building. Some of them leave.
Services
What I work on
B2B subscription and services businesses on HubSpot. Mostly the plumbing between marketing, sales and the customer team.
CRM architecture
Pipeline and lifecycle design
Lead routing and qualification
Workflow automation
Sales-to-onboarding handoffs
Data clean-up and deduplication
Migrations to HubSpot
Reporting and dashboards
SOPs and documentation
Ops hiring support
Not on HubSpot yet?
Spreadsheets, Dynamics, Marketo, or a CRM nobody opens. Moving you onto HubSpot is part of the build, so your hire starts on a clean system instead of inheriting a migration project.
On Salesforce and happy there?
Then I'm not your person, and I'd rather say so now than learn your platform on your time.

Monthly review call
Monthly, rolling
Custom
Something that doesn't fit the boxes. A migration, a single broken workflow, a reporting rebuild.
Tell me what's broken
I'll scope it on the call
Scoped to you
Fixed prices, agreed after a 20-minute call. The full build costs less than one month of what the hire will.
Track record
Built before, in production
Attribution that reaches revenueModels that show how the marketing team's content contributes to closed revenue. Sales and marketing work from one set of numbers, and keep agreeing on them.
One view of every customerSupport ticketing, customer due diligence (CDD) checks and policies-and-procedures software, connected into the CRM so every team sees the whole customer in one place.
Three-tier HubSpot architectureSix deal pipelines and four service pipelines, with twelve workflows taking a closed sale to an onboarded customer. The old email-chain handoff is now automated task queues.
The tech stack, run as a productTools documented, trained on and improved on purpose, so every team understands the go-to-market motion and their part in it.
Migration off Dynamics and MarketoMoved onto HubSpot with the reporting intact on the other side.
A new hire productive in week oneA qualification SOP detailed enough that a new BDR could work from it on day one.
The guarantee
If after four weeks you don't think it's worth what you've paid, I'll refund the month and hand over everything I've built, documented.
You're letting someone into the system your revenue runs through. You should have a clean way out.
