Operations Administrator

Business Administrator

The Business Administrator is responsible for keeping the administrative side of the company accurate, organized, documented, and on task. This position supports the President, Director, and Controller across accounting administration, employee administration, company procedures, and general business organization. The Business Administrator is expected to follow established procedures, ensure required documentation is completed, identify administrative gaps, and help improve systems when existing procedures are unclear or ineffective. This is a hands-on administrative role requiring strong organization, follow-through, discretion, and attention to detail. The ideal person has the backbone to hold others accountable while maintaining a professional, helpful, and coaching-oriented approach.

Accountability & Authority

The Business Administrator is expected to own administrative follow-through, not simply process paperwork after it is provided. When a required receipt, review, approval, document, or procedure is missing, the Business Administrator is responsible for identifying the issue and following up with the appropriate person. The position should approach these situations with a coach-first mentality: understand why the requirement was missed, provide clarification or assistance where needed, and help the employee successfully follow the process going forward. Repeated failure to follow established procedures should be documented and escalated through the appropriate chain of command. The Business Administrator does not replace the authority of department managers, the Controller, Director, or President. Significant accounting decisions, employee-relations matters, disciplinary decisions, policy decisions, and operational exceptions remain with the appropriate company leader.

• Persistent — willing to follow up until an administrative requirement is actually completed.
• Accountable — takes ownership rather than assuming someone else will handle it.
• Detail-oriented — notices missing receipts, incomplete documentation, inconsistencies, and unfinished processes.
• Professional and discreet — regularly handles financial, employee, and company-sensitive information.
• Confident — comfortable following up with employees and managers regardless of position.
• Approachable — employees should feel comfortable asking questions or admitting when they do not understand a procedure.
• Coach-oriented — seeks correction and improvement before conflict.
• Process-minded — naturally looks for ways to make recurring work simpler, clearer, and more reliable.
• Technically adaptable — comfortable learning accounting, productivity, presentation, and company software.
