What are Part Time Independents?

Part Time Independents are individuals who work on a self-employed or freelance basis, typically taking on projects or assignments without being committed to a single employer, and do so for less than full-time hours. They may work in various industries such as consulting, writing, graphic design, or delivery services. This flexible work arrangement allows them to manage their own schedules and often balance multiple clients or responsibilities. Part Time Independents are responsible for their own taxes, benefits, and business expenses.

What are some common challenges faced by part-time independent professionals, and how can they be addressed?

Part-time independent professionals often encounter challenges such as managing inconsistent workloads, balancing multiple clients or projects, and ensuring timely communication. It can also be difficult to set boundaries between work and personal life, especially when working remotely. To address these challenges, it's helpful to establish clear contracts, set realistic deadlines, communicate proactively with clients, and use productivity tools to stay organized. Building a reliable network and maintaining a consistent work routine also contribute to long-term success in this flexible role.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Part-Time Independent Contractor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Part-Time Independent Contractor, you generally need specialized expertise in your chosen field, self-motivation, and the ability to manage your own schedule. Familiarity with productivity tools like project management software, invoicing systems, and sometimes relevant professional certifications can be beneficial. Strong communication, time management, and adaptability are crucial soft skills that help you build client relationships and deliver results independently. These skills and qualities are essential for maintaining consistent work quality, meeting deadlines, and sustaining client trust while working autonomously.

Job description

Operations Coordinator (Part-Time Independent Contractor)

Help Us Build Something Special Behind the Scenes!

Are you an experienced operations or administrative professional who loves creating order, improving processes, and keeping projects moving? Do you enjoy supporting a growing business where your organization and attention to detail make a real impact?

If you’re an experienced remote professional looking for a flexible, part-time contractor opportunity, we’d love to hear from you.

Applications are being accepted now. We plan to interview candidates throughout August and are looking for someone to begin between mid-August and mid-September to support our busy fall season.

 About Us

Drama Kids is not your average after-school program. We “Act Up” with purpose—using creative drama to help children build confidence, communication skills, creativity, leadership, and teamwork while having an incredible amount of fun.

We’re a fast-growing small business serving families throughout Metro Detroit West, and we’re just getting started. Our mission is simple: We’re building good humans.

As we continue to expand into new schools, parks & recreation departments, and community partners, we’re looking for someone who genuinely enjoys organizing information, creating efficient systems, and helping a growing business run smoothly.

 What You’ll Do

You’ll support the owner by helping keep our operations organized and our programs running smoothly.

Responsibilities include:

  • Organizing and maintaining class, camp, and event calendars
  • Preparing emails to families using existing templates
  • Editing flyers, forms, and marketing materials (not designing from scratch)
  • Drafting and scheduling social media posts using existing branding and templates
  • Writing and editing proposals for schools, parks & recreation departments, and community organizations
  • Scheduling interviews and communicating with teacher candidates throughout the hiring process
  • Creating and maintaining seasonal planning documents that serve as our single source of truth
  • Proofreading communications and documents
  • Organizing registration information and program details
  • Tracking projects, deadlines, and follow-up items
  • Coordinating project timelines and helping keep initiatives on schedule
  • Assisting with a variety of administrative and operational projects that support the business

Every week is a little different, making this an ideal role for someone who enjoys variety, organization, and problem-solving.

 The Details

  • Part-time Independent Contractor (1099) position
  • Approximately 10 hours per week
  • 100% remote/work from home
  • Candidates should reside within or near the Metro Detroit West service area (Northville, Novi, Plymouth, Canton, Livonia, Brighton, South Lyon, or surrounding communities). While this position is primarily remote, occasional in-person meetings or project support may be requested.
  • Flexible schedule with work completed independently around agreed-upon deadlines
  • Must have a personal computer, reliable high-speed internet, and be comfortable working remotely using your own equipment
  • Occasional virtual meetings with the owner
  • Long-term relationship preferred

You’ll Be Great If You

  • Have previous administrative or operations experience
  • Have successfully worked remotely and can manage your own schedule
  • Are highly organized and detail-oriented
  • Enjoy creating systems and improving processes
  • Have excellent written communication and proofreading skills
  • Can prioritize multiple projects and meet deadlines
  • Are comfortable using Google Workspace, Canva, Microsoft Office, and project management tools
  • Enjoy supporting a growing small business

Bonus points if you’ve worked in education, nonprofit organizations, event planning, or a small business environment.

 Compensation:

  • Approximately 10 hours per week
  • $28–32 per hour, based on experience

 Why You’ll Love Working With Us

We’re a small female-owned business with big dreams, and we believe work should be both meaningful and enjoyable. We value kindness, flexibility, communication, initiative, and a sense of humor. We work hard, celebrate wins, solve problems together, and genuinely enjoy what we do.

At Drama Kids, we’re not just organizing classes, we’re helping children become confident communicators, creative thinkers, supportive teammates, and resilient leaders. Every email you prepare, proposal you write, calendar you organize, and system you improve helps us reach more children and families.

 Ready to Help Build Something Special?

If you’re an experienced remote administrative professional who loves organization, enjoys wearing many hats, and wants to help build a business that makes a lasting impact on children and families, we’d love to hear from you!
