DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS

THE PERSON

Are you a driven and passionate leader who holds others accountable? Do you value organizational success more than individual success? Are you proactive? If you are a high achiever with strong leadership ability, then we want to talk to you!

Our ideal Director of Operations is:

• Client Focused – Serving the client is the cornerstone of what you do. You aren’t afraid to pick up the phone and talk to clients when the situation calls for it. You ask the right questions and find the right solutions. You work tirelessly to ensure that every client has their needs met and knows that they are valued.
• Hands On – You’re fast on your feet, have a doer’s mindset, and care about results. Willing to get in the weeds, you excel and enjoy working in the business as much as on the business.
• Determined - You are a high achiever with a strong internal motivation.
• A Fact Finder - Naturally curious, you enjoy diving into the numbers. With quick recall and an understanding of data, you easily recognize patterns, look for solutions, and pivot quickly when the need arises.
• A Leader – As a servant leader who is thoughtful and considerate, you’re not an individual achiever. You are a teacher with the capacity for relationship building and set a high bar for yourself and your team. You make people a priority.
