Job Description
We are a high-producing real estate business looking for an experienced Operations Manager to act as the owner’s right hand and oversee day-to-day operations.
This role is responsible for ensuring that all administrative, marketing, and operational tasks are executed consistently and at a high standard without the owner needing to manage daily details. The Operations Manager will lead virtual assistants, manage workflows, build and maintain systems, and serve as the primary gatekeeper when the owner is unavailable.
This is not an assistant role. It is a leadership position requiring ownership, decision-making, and accountability. The ideal candidate is highly organized, proactive, comfortable managing people, and able to run operations independently.
This is a hybrid role (in-office and remote), with local candidates preferred.

What Success Looks Like

Qualifications:
- Proven experience in an operations, office management, or business management role
