Job Summary
This is the operational nerve center of a 27-year-old business. Right now, one of our co-owners carries the full weight of office operations, client communication, scheduling, project coordination, and team logistics, in addition to parenting, creative direction, and strategic planning. This office operation has served us well, and we are ready for the next evolution of our business.

We are hiring someone who can take full ownership of the office and operations function. Someone who sees what needs to happen, makes it happen, and keeps the entire machine running so our owners can focus on the creative vision that built this company. By month three, we would provide you the training need to be running the daily operations independently. By month six, the owners will trust you enough to step away for 2 weeks and be confident that everything is in order.

Responsibilities

• Client Intake & Communication: Answer phones, respond to inquiries, screen leads, qualify new clients, and manage ongoing client relationships. You are the first voice people hear and the last voice before a project wraps. MOGs reputation lives in how clients feel when they interact with us. We communicate on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook.
• Scheduling & Dispatching: Coordinate crew schedules, manage the calendar, adapt to weather changes and material delays, and keep clients informed about timing. Our crews and clients both rely on you to respect their time.
• Project Coordination: Bridge the gap between the office and the field. Track project status, manage material orders, flag issues before they become problems, and ensure nothing falls through the cracks between a clients expectations and a crews execution.
• Administrative Systems: Manage invoicing & billing, track expenses, process timekeeping, handle HR basics (job postings, preliminary interviews, onboarding/offboarding), and keep all administrative systems current. Proficiency in QuickBooks or prepared to learn, Jobber, Slack, and Google/Microsoft Office required.
• Problem Solving: Things come up. Weather changes plans. Clients call with urgent requests. Materials dont arrive. Crew members get sick. You use good judgment to handle what you can, escalate what you should, and always protect the client experience.

Qualifications
