Operations Coordinator - San Francisco, CA

High-Profile Creative & Brand Organization — San Francisco, CA 

Our client, a high-profile creative and brand organization, is seeking an Operations Coordinator to provide day-to-day operational and administrative support that keeps the company running smoothly, working closely with the Director of Business Operations and the Executive Operations Lead. Roughly half of the role is dedicated to hands-on office and facilities management, and the other half to supporting the broader operations functions.

Because this role sits at the center of daily operations and works closely with leadership who are not always on-site, the ideal candidate is highly organized, self-directed, and detail-oriented, with the initiative to anticipate needs and move work forward independently. This is a full-time, in-office position. Success means building trust over time, maintaining accurate systems and records, and freeing up the broader operations team to focus on higher-level strategic work.

• Plan and implement office systems, layouts, and equipment procurement to optimize efficiency and support a productive work environment.
• Act as the point person for office guests, coordinating a warm and welcoming experience for meetings, leadership visits, and team gatherings.
• Support logistics for internal meetings and events, including setup, catering, and on-site coordination.
• Establish and maintain trackers and systems to keep office operations organized and running smoothly, ensuring visibility and reliable follow-through.

Operations & Administrative Support

• Provide operational and administrative support to the Director of Business Operations and Executive Operations Lead across a broad range of recurring and ad hoc tasks.
• Build, maintain and improve project boards, timelines, trackers, systems, workflows and documentation across a range of operational processes to ensure progress visibility across operations initiatives.

• Keep records organized and current.

Finance & Expense Support

• Support broader budgeting, reporting, and record-keeping in partnership with the operations and accounting teams, as directed.

Travel Coordination

• Help improve and organize the travel request process for improved tracking and visibility.
• Assist with reconciling travel expenses and preparing related spend reports.
• Serve as a back-up to the company’s Travel Specialist, providing support during high-volume periods or when she is unavailable.

• Highly self-directed, with strong initiative and the ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment and take ownership with limited day-to-day oversight.
• Strong problem-solving skills and a proactive, ownership-driven attitude.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to build trust across teams and with external vendors.
