Job Description
Role Description
We are seeking a highly capable Executive Operations Coordinator to work directly with a mission-driven founder leading multiple high-growth businesses focused on fitness, youth development, and operational excellence. This role exists to increase the founder's leverage, protect his time, and ensure operational follow-through across multiple priorities.
The Executive Operations Coordinator serves as the founder's strategic operational partner and execution engine. This is not a traditional administrative role but functions as a hybrid of:
- Executive operations coordinator
- Project manager
- Operational gatekeeper
- Execution partner
You will help transform ideas, tasks, and priorities into structured systems, clear plans, and measurable outcomes. Your success will be measured by how effectively you help the founder stay focused on the highest-impact work while ensuring everything else moves forward smoothly.

- Ensure important communications receive timely follow-up.
-
Calendar & Time Optimization
- Manage and strategically structure the founder's calendar.
- Protect focus time and reduce low-value meetings.
- Coordinate scheduling across business priorities.
- Prepare meeting briefs and ensure follow-up actions are completed.
-
Reporting & Business Intelligence
- Build and maintain dashboards tracking key business metrics such as revenue, staffing performance, and operational KPIs.
- Ensure weekly reports are delivered and clearly interpreted for decision-making.
-
Administrative & Operational Coordination
- Manage scheduling logistics, operational tasks, and workflow coordination.
- Support internal team coordination across multiple businesses.
- Assist with staff scheduling and operational organization.
- Coordinate hiring logistics for entry-level roles (screening scheduling, summaries).
-
Project & Systems Management
- Build and improve operational systems that increase efficiency.
- Use tools such as project management platforms and spreadsheets to maintain visibility across initiatives.
- Identify inefficiencies and proactively recommend improvements.
First 60-Day Objectives
- Establish structured inbox management and communication filtering.
- Build an optimized calendar system protecting executive focus time.
- Implement dashboards for key metrics and reporting.
- Improve operational organization across administrative workflows.
The ultimate goal is to save the founder at least 10 hours per week while increasing execution quality across the organization.
