Business Operations Manager

*Job Title: Business Operations Consultant / Executive Business Partner**

**The Mission:**

I oversee a portfolio of diverse companies and need a sharp, "MacGyver-minded" right hand to help manage the engine. This is not a traditional "assistant" role; it is a high-level partnership for someone who is exceptionally logical, fiercely independent, and capable of pivoting from financial oversight to legal drafting without losing momentum.

**Key Responsibilities:**

* **Operational Oversight:** Field inquiries, manage correspondence, and coordinate tasks across multiple small businesses to ensure no projects stall.

* **Financial & Stakeholder Management:** Interface with bankers and investors. You will ensure they have the data and documentation they need to make decisions.

* **Legal & Bookkeeping Support:** Draft contracts and letters; oversee accounts payable and receivable. (A background as a paralegal with bookkeeping skills is a significant advantage).

* **The "Backlog Killer":** Maintain a proactive approach to our task list. When there is slack, you are the person who dives into the "someday" projects to get them across the finish line.

**The Ideal Profile:**

* **Independent & Perceptive:** You don’t need a manual. You see a gap and fill it. You have "Nordstrom-level" class and a serious, goal-oriented mindset.

* **Unfiltered & Resilient:** I have an informal, family-style business culture and an occasional "potty mouth." You must have thick skin, a great sense of humor, and the courage to give me the news straight—good or bad.

* **Ethical & Private:** This role handles personal and business matters. High discretion is mandatory. An NDA, Non-Compete, and Non-Disclosure agreement are part of the deal.

* **"Up-Person" Energy:** You are charming and professional, but you have clear boundaries and a "spike the ball" mentality when we win.

**Structure & Compensation:**

* **Location:** Based in our dog-friendly office. This is not a remote role, though occasional work-from-home flexibility exists once we have established our rhythm.

* **Engagement:** Preference for a **1099/Independent Contractor** relationship. I am highly supportive of you incorporating as your own business entity to streamline this partnership.

* **The Upside:** I pay a competitive market wage plus performance-based bonuses. As I do better, you do better. I honor family priorities and value long-term loyalty over "trying it out."

**Requirements:**

* Strong logical skills (Degree preferred, but "street smarts" and logic win).

* Excellent personal grooming/presentation.

* A "non-quitter" attitude for the long haul.
