• Hospitality or hotel operations
• Restaurant management
• Retail management
• Property management
• Dispatch or service coordination
• Customer service leadership
• Recruiting or staffing
• Other fast-paced, people-intensive operations

We can teach staffing. We need someone who already knows how to take ownership, communicate professionally, solve problems under pressure, follow through, and keep moving when priorities change.

Schedule: Full-time, 8am - 5pm, Monday-Friday, in office
Compensation: $48,000 base salary + performance incentives/commission, with approximately $55,000 OTE

This Role May Not Be Ideal for You If...


This may not be the right fit if you dislike outbound calling, difficult conversations, changing priorities, detailed systems work, or being held accountable to measurable activity and results. This role requires initiative, follow-through, and the ability to stay productive without constant supervision.
