$200,000 USD/year ^{Pay is set based on global value, not the local market. Most roles = hourly rate x 40 hrs x 50 weeks}  ($100 USD/hour)

• Run day-to-day operational oversight across 3+ campuses — tracking performance, resolving issues, and enforcing standards through AI-powered dashboards and clearly defined SLAs, not spreadsheets and gut feel.
• Own vendor relationships end-to-end: procurement, bid management, performance accountability, and contract compliance across the northeast campus network.
• Build and maintain the systems — checklists, dashboards, workflows — that give leadership real-time visibility into campus health across décor, signage, networking, hospitality, and ops.
• Set and audit universal campus standards so every site performs consistently at a premium level, whether it's week one or year three.
• Lead new campus launches as a recurring workstream — applying and refining your operational playbook so each opening is tighter than the last.

• Treating launches as the whole job — the ongoing network is the job; launches are one part of the cycle.
• Managing by feel — your systems give you real-time visibility, and your vendors are accountable to clear standards.
• Waiting for problems to surface — your dashboards, maintenance cycles, and audit cadences exist to prevent them.
• Running one site at a time — you'll be managing active ops across the portfolio while new campuses come online.
• Accepting drift — if a campus slips off standard six months post-launch, that's on your watch.

Own the operational health of campuses across the northeast — building and enforcing the systems, standards, and vendor infrastructure that keep every school running at premium standard year-round, while managing new campus launches as a recurring, systemized workstream.

• Based in NYC; willing to travel ~40% across the northeast region (Boston to DC)
• Based in the U.S. and legally authorized to work without sponsorship
• 5+ years in multi-site operations, program management, or campus/facilities strategy — with a track record of building systems, not just managing tasks
• Proven experience owning vendor relationships and procurement workflows across multiple locations simultaneously
• Daily user of AI tools and low-code platforms (e.g., GPT, Airtable, Retool, Zapier) to build and manage operational infrastructure
• High-speed execution — owns deliverables and closes loops without handholding
• Proactive systems thinker — your instinct is to build the process that prevents the problem, not respond after the fact

• Experience in high-end hospitality, luxury retail, or private club environments where consistent standards are non-negotiable
• Background designing centralized procurement or vendor management systems at scale
• Familiarity with CapEx workflows or multi-site upgrade cycles
• Strong aesthetic judgment for visitor-facing environments — you know what "premium" looks and feels like
• Experience building AI-powered operational dashboards or live reporting tools
