About Tiny Moat
Tiny Moat is a digital micro private-equity portfolio that acquires and operates small, profitable digital businesses. We're operator-led, not a fund. We run businesses long-term, not flip them.
Portfolio focus
- Content platforms (YouTube, newsletters)
- Publishing assets (Amazon KDP, digital products)
- E-commerce (Shopify, WooCommerce)
- Automated revenue streams

- Want a long-term, trust-based collaboration
- Are curious about AI and automation (n8n, Make, AI agents)
❌ Not a fit if you
- Want to drive strategy or build your own thing
- Prefer creative work over operational execution
- Need constant novelty or variety
- Want fast career progression

📊 Reporting & dashboards

Skills & Working Style
Required skills
- Comfortable with numbers and dashboards

- Familiar with Amazon platforms and YouTube Studio (or willing to learn)
- Organized, reliable, clear communicator
Required mindset
- Rule-based thinking — comfortable with "if X then Y" frameworks
- Willing to learn automation & AI — open to building systems that reduce manual work
- Calm and structured — you enjoy routines, checklists, predictable workflows
- Low ego, high reliability — you execute well within clear boundaries
- Autonomous once expectations are clear — no daily hand-holding needed
Nice to have
- No-code automation tools (Zapier, Make, n8n)
- Basic understanding of APIs and integrations
- AI prompt engineering or custom agent building
- Previous work automating repetitive business tasks
Compensation & Growth Path
- Hourly rate: up to €35/hour (based on experience)
- Time commitment: 6–10 hours/week initially
- Work setup: fully remote, async — no fixed hours, weekly check-in call
- Trial period: 30 days · performance bonus possible after trial
Growth path: Business Operations Partner
As Tiny Moat grows, this role can evolve into a Business Operations Partner position when you demonstrate:
- Reliable ownership of operations across multiple businesses (6+ months)
- Strong judgment on priorities, risks, and trade-offs
- Clear, proactive reporting and decision-ready insights
- Ability to coordinate freelancers with minimal oversight
At that stage: increased scope and autonomy, expanded hours (15–25h/week), higher rate or fixed retainer, and optional performance incentives. Timeline: typically 6–12 months after trial, based on trust and results.
Automation & AI: Why It Matters
Tiny Moat is building towards AI-assisted operations — from manual dashboard checks today towards AI agents that pull metrics automatically, n8n workflows that automate repetitive tasks, and AI decision support that flags anomalies and opportunities.
You'll help identify automation opportunities, test and refine AI workflows as we build them, and learn no-code tools to reduce manual work over time. We're not looking for an automation expert — just someone curious and willing to learn as we build this together.
How We Work
- Async-first: work when you want, as long as deadlines are met
- Weekly check-in: a 30-minute call to review priorities
- Clear boundaries: strategy stays upstream, execution is yours
- Documentation-driven: every process has an SOP
The founder provides clear SOPs, decision frameworks and KPIs, reviews weekly dashboards and monthly reports, makes strategic decisions, and removes blockers. You won't be left guessing — everything you need is documented before your trial starts.
