How we operate

Delivery standards for every Growth Operations engagement.

The following delivery standards are applied uniformly across every Growth Operations engagement, regardless of the capabilities in scope.

Senior leaders running every pod
Named team lead with managerial experience on every account. Not a shared services pool. Not a rotating gig roster. The same people work your account, every day, full-time.
Two engagement models, your choice
Full-Service BPO (we own the outcome) or Employer-of-Record (we hire, you manage). Same talent pool. Same standards. Different control model.
Stack-fluent and stack-flexible
Zendesk, Intercom, Gorgias, Front, Help Scout. Shopify, BigCommerce, NetSuite. HubSpot, Salesforce. We work in your stack, not ours.
Outcomes you define, against your scorecard
CSAT, response times, processing accuracy, throughput targets. You set them at week 1, we’re measured against them. Weekly check-ins. Monthly reviews. Quarterly scope changes welcome.

Who we serve

Structured for the operating context of scaling organizations.

Workflows, urgency, and priority outcomes differ meaningfully across growth-stage segments. Engagements are structured to reflect the specific context of each organization.

What hurts

Order volume scales linearly but customer support, returns processing, and back-office can’t. Peak-season hiring is a scramble. Margin gets eaten by overflow staffing agencies.

What we run

Tier-1 and tier-2 customer support across email, chat, and social. Order management, returns processing, fraud screening. Inventory and vendor coordination. Klaviyo, Gorgias, Zendesk, Shopify, Amazon Seller Central.

What changes

Order volume can grow 3–5x without proportional support cost. Peak season covered by a flexible team, not a hiring scramble. CSAT goes up because response times go down.

What hurts

Founders and engineers stuck answering tier-1 tickets. Customer success can’t scale without diluting the role. Onboarding sequences delayed by manual data entry. Trial-to-paid leakage.

What we run

Tier-1 and tier-2 support, onboarding ops, data entry/migration, CRM hygiene (Salesforce, HubSpot), QA testing, content moderation, technical writing assistance.

What changes

Engineers focused on engineering. CS team handles strategic accounts, not password resets. Onboarding completes faster. Trial conversion improves.

What hurts

Portfolio companies each running their own scattered ops. Back-office redundancy across the portfolio. Operational due-diligence findings that need fast remediation. Pre-exit clean-up.

What we run

Consolidated back-office across portfolio companies, F&A standardization, integration support during M&A, operational reporting up to the GP. Same SLA framework across every portco.

What changes

Portfolio-wide ops standardization. EBITDA expansion from cost takeout. Cleaner data rooms at exit. One vendor relationship instead of twelve.

What hurts

You’re the bottleneck. Inbox is full, calendar is owned by ops tasks, and hiring an EA or admin in the U.S. costs more than it returns. You don’t need a full-time anything - you need fractional everything.

What we run

Executive virtual assistants, inbox & calendar management, research, vendor coordination, light bookkeeping, content production support, operations playbook execution.

What changes

You buy back 10–15 hours a week. Tasks that were sitting in your head for weeks get done. The business runs more like a company and less like a frantic founder.

How it works

Live in 2–4 weeks. Scale at your pace.

No multi-year contracts to start. Quarterly commitment, no penalties for changing scope.

1
Week 1

Discovery

Free 30-minute call. We map what you’re trying to offload and what success looks like. You leave with a written plan whether or not we move forward.

2
Week 1–2

Pilot scope

We size the team (1–5 FTEs for EOR or 10–12 for Full-Service BPO), pick the delivery model, and put an NDA + scope doc in place.

3
Week 2–4

Stand-up

We recruit and train the team, integrate with your stack (CRM, e-commerce platform, accounting), and run a 1-week shadow phase before going fully live.

4
Month 2+

Run & expand

Weekly check-ins, monthly reviews, quarterly scope changes. Add capacity for peak seasons. Pull back during slower months. No penalties.

Pick your model

Two delivery models. Same talent. Different control.

Most BPOs lock you into one model. We’ll do either - or both at the same time across different functions.

Full-Service BPO

We run it. We own the outcome.

For when you want a partner accountable to KPIs, not headcount.

We hire, train, and manage the team. We commit to KPIs (response times, CSAT, resolution rates, accuracy targets). You get monthly reviews and a single point of accountability.

  • Hiring, training, and management on us
  • KPI-based commitments
  • Per-FTE, per-transaction, or outcome-based pricing
  • One vendor relationship to manage
Best fit when: you have a function to outsource and want a vendor accountable to outcomes, not solely on labor supply.
Employer of Record

We hire. You run them.

For when you want the talent without the international entity.

We legally employ the team in the Philippines - payroll, benefits, compliance, infrastructure. You provide operational leadership, set the work, and drive the KPIs.

  • Legal employment, payroll, and benefits handled
  • You manage day-to-day work and priorities
  • Transparent monthly per-FTE billing
  • Scale up or down quarterly
Best fit when: you want an extension of your existing team, not a vendor - without standing up your own offshore entity.

AI + human accountability

AI does the heavy lift. A human signs the work.

We use AI where it removes drudgery and beats human accuracy at scale - ticket triage, sentiment scoring, draft responses, transaction categorization, content moderation. We use experienced operators where judgment matters - angry customers, complex returns, anything that touches the brand or a payment.

Every AI-drafted response gets reviewed by a credentialed team member before it goes out. AI is your team’s force multiplier - not a replacement for taste or judgment.

“AI without accountability is just faster mistakes. Our model puts a name on every response that goes out the door.” - Vik, Founder & CEO, CX Horizon Services

Security & compliance

Your customer data, handled properly

We’re not a regulated industry vendor by accident. The same controls we apply to healthcare and financial services apply here too.

How we handle your data

Every engagement runs under an NDA. Our Philippines operations use encrypted access controls, VDI-based workstations (no client data stored locally), and full audit logging on every action taken. GDPR-aligned data handling for EU customer data.

DTC apparel brand, $18M ARR, 6-person team

Founder-led DTC brand growing materially year-over-year couldn’t hire CX and ops fast enough. We deployed a 6-person team (4 CX agents, 2 ops associates) integrated with Gorgias, Shopify, and Klaviyo, covering extended hours across time zones. Over the engagement, the brand scaled order volume meaningfully without adding internal CX or ops headcount, and CSAT held steady through the scale.
