Operations Manager

The person who runs the day to day.

You keep the whole operation moving: communities and families onboarded, the application pipeline unstuck, the vendor and compliance calendars current, and the next hire scheduled. When something falls between two desks, it lands on yours.

Opens your mail app with the subject filled in. Include a short note on the messiest week you have run and how it ended.

What you will do

  • Onboarding every new community and every concierge family, from first agreement to first application.
  • The application pipeline: every open application has a next step, an owner, and a date, and nothing sits past 72 business hours unanswered.
  • The vendor calendar: business associate agreements, renewals, and invoices, in one list that is never stale.
  • The compliance calendar: policy reviews, training dates, and the audit log check, on the days the runbooks say.
  • Hiring support: scheduling, references, and the first-day plan for each new person.

What we look for

  • You have run a small service business or a clinic front office and know what a full day of loose ends feels like.
  • You keep a list, you close the loop, and you say when something is late before anyone asks.
  • You are comfortable with health information rules and with a checklist you did not write.
  • You can walk into a community and be welcome back the next week.

How we work

  • You never complete a PRI, SCREEN, or physician form.
  • You never give medical or legal advice.
  • You never take a fee on a government-funded resident.

Pay

$70,000 to $90,000, plus health stipend.
